In dwc, your EC should be stable or slightly falling

A rising EC indicates the plant is using water faster than it's using the nutes

The organic pH down (citrus acid?) shouldn't be used in dwc, stick to phosphoric acid

yep. EC up is too strong, EC dropping alot is way to weak EC and EC dropping slighlty is about perfect.

i'd add RO to get your EC down to maybe 0.6 and see if it starts dropping

if not, you might have root rot issues or possible nute lockout

I'd drain in mate, and start with a fresh batch with a low ec. . 8 ec I go for my gg in veg, some strains need higher, read your plants. I get lock out any higher. Rdwc plants have easy access to nutes, no need for high ec, does more harm than good.
