First grow, trying to reel them back in from what appears to be nitrogen toxcity. I emptied the water, refilled and only used orca and a little bit of calmag. Almost 24hr on the clean tanks. When do you start giving nutrient again? Don't mind the hoses, working on getting my chiller setup!

Greetings, what are you feeding them? What nute line? EC, pH?
 
I wish I could give you more exact but I was kind of all over the place with nutrient. PH stays at 5.8. I don't have an EC Meter. I was trying to follow bottle and do a 2tsp/1tsp/gal A/B/water for veg. Then I found out you shouldn't follow bottle for DWC. Then I was gonna flower so I was trying to increase P and work towards 1tsp/2tsp/gal A/B/water then I decided against it and decided I wanna veg for another week or two. Lol yea I know.....

They started 4/16, looking through my pics looks like I've been running nitrogen heavy for some time. If your trying to get a certain reference point or something I have pics all the way back through .
 
At the very least the combo of trimming and nitrogen toxicity have seemed to halted growth, hoping in a week or two we can reverse that and put on some bulk to flower.
 
This is how they look now. Seems the dark green is leaving. And curling is stopping. Does anyone notice anything else?

The P increase in flower comes around week 3 (plants finish stretching). You still need nitrogen as part of your regiment through flower, just more so during the first few weeks of stretch. Then you can taper down the N, and add more P and K. To me it looks like there is a slight nitrogen toxicity, and possible overwatering. Are you flowering or vegging, i was confused as to which you stuck with.
 
I'm veging as I don't think I will get the yield I'm looking for and seen what N toxcity can do to a flowering plant so I think it would be best to get this resolved first as well. It's hydro in DWC so I can't really control watering.
 
I still have in basically fresh water and they currently look like: attached pictures. Has this been long enough and I should put in a low level of nutrient?

And here they are 40mins into "light time." obv with the N tox I had I'm sure it's perm damage so I should only be watching the new growth I think right? And once new growth starts looking a little pale or lower leaves start yellowing switch back to nutrient water? Obviously lower concentration.
