Dark Devil Hydroponic

Off to a struggling start this week... First when I took the plant out to change the water I SMASHED it into the top lights and bend it straight 90°, but thankfully with some tape, it seems to be able to stand up without more assistance. And then god... I tried changing the water with our tap water, kept running into issues where it would cloud completely up when you added in either purpinator or bloom. I even went so far as going to the store and getting more distilled water since I thought maybe it was my 610ppm tap water but no... after doing a small test in a mason jar the water started getting cloudy after Armor Si and CaliMagic mixed and then once you added the purp or bloom it got super cloudy. So I wasted SEVERAL weeks worth of Armor Si, CaliMagic, Purpinator, Micro, and Bloom before solving the issue and just using less Armor Si and CaliMagic than I originally planned too. I figure over the course of the week if the rusted spots come back on the leaves I'll just add CaliMagic then. It's just super weird I never had that happen before but now I know and will be on the lookout in the future. It took SO long to change the water, that in the root picture you'll notice a new white root shooting down in the middle from the very top, she was thirsty! Not using the terpinator for the rest of the run since purpinator does the same thing, and I just wasted so much of it... lol May 15th - pH 6.3, PPM 1690, 3.4 EC, 84/75f, 48% humidity - Broke main stem, repaired with tape, seems O.K. Had A LOT of difficulty with the nutrients and water, went a little lower to be safe. May 16th - pH 6.6 -> 6.2, PPM 1710, 3.4 EC, 83/74f, 38% humidity - adjusted pH back in range, added a little bit of water and more CalMag, leaving it as is for now. May 17th - pH 6.3, PPM 2010, 4.0 EC, 80/72f, 41% humidity - took some bad looking top leaves off and a few handful of lowers, as it's around Day 21f. May 18th - pH 5.9 -> 6.3, PPM 2180, 4.4 EC, 84/70f, 49% humidity - Really scared to let the pH go below 6.2, cause of the rust issues I keep having, but so far the plant looks well this week! May 19th - pH 6.5, PPM 2250, 4.5 EC, 78/70f, 46% humidity - Not much going on, pH rose a bit, probably going to have to lower it tomorrow. May 20th - pH 6.7 -> 6.2, PPM 2050, 4.1 EC, 82/72f, 47% humidity - adjusted pH and added ~gal of water to help with high PPM. Plant is chillin' so far. 😎🙌 May 21st - pH 6.3, PPM, PPM 2150, 4,3 EC, 82/71f, 44% humidity - pH is bouncing between 6.3 and 6.4, added a tiny amount of water, plant is doing well. Water change tomorrow!
