I never asked "why"!
It does work.
It works FAR, FAR better in use with soil applications and even better with organic feeding!

Same here except in my early 60s'. I started growing weed in 1972 and grew up in the wild hemp fields of northwestern Indiana.
Row cropped 200 acres for 35 years before I retired and cash rented the farm ground out.

YES..
OK, here we go!
You do not have any N tox!
I see "no" to only very minor Ca def.....
My solution stands.....ADD a Ca/Mg product at the rate of 5ml per gallon...

"Pounding" *LIKE* button!
LOL, good ol' Indiana ditch! Wish I had a buck for everytime I drove through and had people look out the window and say, "Damn! Pull over, that's weed! Lets pick some! LMFAO.....Nope! That's dirt!

You know, I've never in all my years actually seen a Ca tox. ! Bet it looks like a fairly severe pH problem!
it's hard to do...in a way!
Add the Ca! That 5 ml per (over what you have now) will not hurt!

Yes, and back then every thing was grown outside, so all our good bud was pollinated from the wild hemp plants. I still have relatives that grow in that area.

You really need to be changing that res more often!
If you simply add back at the 100% mix rate you started with. You can get problems and imbalances.
Old school, easy peasy rule of thumb for add back/keeping res topped off, and dumping and refilling time...
33% add back rule.
Fill res with 100% feed solution and RECORD amount used.
Mix 1 gallon of 100% feed solution as you usually do. Add 2 gallons of straight water to it and pH. You now have 33% top off juice.
Use this 33% solution to top off your res.
Top off your res and keep track of how much you add back.
When the amount you are going to add back at some point, equals the amount you originally filled the res with.
DUMP and refill the res with 100% feed and repeat as needed.
This may go a long way in helping you out in the long run..

I grew with the cns-17 for years with my well water that has almost 300 ppm of calcium carbonate in it and grew without much problems, I ran the cns-17 soil and coco bloom formula from start to finish at 7 ml. per gallon.

And what rate are you using it now? Did you say 15 ml per gallon? That should get you in the 1200 ppm range with the CNS-17.

I'm really leaning to not changing the res enough.....Things happen between the plant and the water and whats in it, that tend to fuck things up in time..4 months is seriously long! I've done 2 and found that changing more was far better for the plant and it's end result/yield/quality..
"My" first move would be to dump and refill with fresh feed solution! Seriously!
You get build ups of some things by running that res so long that you get blocking starting by things blocking other things or getting reactions chemically....That looks to be that issue - not a "lack of," but something interfering with up-take....NOT pH either...

I don't think I have any pics of that but I'll have a look, it was two years ago. Thing is I don't have the infastructer to run RO in the shed or running water for that matter so I had to adapt and by using Vitanimo and possibly hydroguard it went away. Yes my water is 250 and lots of calcium chloride I believe but I'll check that as well. Just got a super duper water test suitcase at work. Just need to learn how to use it lol.
