They look underfeed, u should make water with around 800ppm at this stage and before u do add 5grams epsom salts to the water they got major magnesium deficiency, 5days later they will bounce back

With no diary it'd hard to tell. I'll guess and say your plants are probably locked out from ph not being right. I'm guessing your in soil and ph should be higher. Get your ph right and your girl should start uptaking nutrients.

Leaf issues. Lockout? Need to Flush??Leaf issues started showing up in 2 of 3 plants, progressing fast. Soil runoff tests have been v. high (2000ppm+) so we're assuming it's a lockout issue. We watered 1 day ago, with 200ppm solution so pots are still very wet. Better to let them dry out a bit or flush right away?

Yellowing Too Fast Or Natural?I'm roughly 2-3 weeks into flower. Over the last week, I've noticed more yellow leaves than normal. Majority are bigger, older fan leaves but some are moving up the plants. New growths are a nice green and buds look healthy. Am I under feeding or overreacting?

Drainage issue I'm not quite sure why this cup doesn't absorb its waterings when the other two solo cups are getting Watered every day. All 3 cups have no drainage. They are all grown in the same conditions. My first instinct is lack of drainage, do I need to make some holes, bottom or side?

Looking for clarification on the Flush time required for a RDWC grow? I have read this can be as little as 2 days of just plain water but should this also include CalMag if I am RO water? I assume the standard root rot treatment continues? i.e. OxyPlus, HydroGuard, Phytoff?Thanks
