EC is too high… For this size of plant you should be around 400-500ppm max

Salam HanzUndFranz! 👋 Welcome to the diagnosis clinic, Habibi! 🏥 Let's look at your numbers and symptoms through the lens of Modern Engineering to figure out why your leaves are growing so strangely. 🛠️ You mentioned your pH is rock solid at 5.8 (which is the perfect zone for hydroponics or coco), but your EC is sitting at 1.4. That EC level is the exact key to your mystery! 1. The Osmotic Pressure Problem (High EC): 🌊 When your EC is at 1.4, the nutrient solution is very "thick" with salts. If the plant is still young or in early vegetative growth, an EC of 1.4 is just a bit too hot for her to process. The high salt concentration outside the roots makes it difficult for the plant to drink water (osmotic stress). This causes the tips to burn and forces the new leaves to grow in twisted, wrinkled, or "strange" shapes because the cells don't have enough water pressure to expand normally. 2. The Nutrient Imbalance: 🦅 A high EC also usually means an excess of Nitrogen. When a plant gets too much N too early, the leaves become dark, and the tips will hook downwards or twist sideways in weird directions (often called "the claw"). Your Engineering Action Plan: 📉 It is a very easy fix! Simply dilute your nutrient reservoir with plain, pH-balanced water until your EC drops down to around 0.8 to 1.0. Give her a few days at this lower feed strength. Remember, the currently twisted leaves will not straighten out (they are permanently built that way now), but watch the new growth coming from the center. It will come out perfectly flat and healthy! Keep that pH at 5.8, drop the food strength, and let her recover. 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚
