Tap water Ph inballance

Dont worry too much about the high ec. Its the plants that you need to worry about and if they are fine then the ec is fine. its more a guide then an exact reading.

I have run 3.2 as my max ec in some grows.

But obviously keep a close eye on the plants.

Its hard to say can you give them a foliar spray lights out at all.
Increase humidity.

It may be from the previous Ph issues

Is the new growth looking good or is everything looking dry/poorly

Pictures would help of course

Well just had to post the good news.. I'm back to using RO water.. I add 50 grams of epsom salts and 1ml per liter of CMX. its like Cal Mag. doing that raises the base ec to 0.4 which is still less than the tap of 0.7ish.. I then add the full range of CYCO nutes up to EC of 2.2 and plants are loving it. the PH is staying perfect at 5.5 so far.. the ph is at 5.5 due to running the CYCO XL addative which accelerates plant growth. The XL I think works exceptionally well. Ive also recently been told to use it in flower as well as it add up to 30% increased yeild from reports.. Thankyou all for your valued input..

ICON : yes the leaves were quite dry. I nearly lost my girls due to the excessive EC. It must have been stopping the plants ability to even uptake water so effectively I nearly made them die of thirst even though they recieved 2 waterings a day.
Thankyou all for your help.

Hi fella,
Rather than adding to this thread, you would be better starting your own thread with this question.
As a pointer, think nutrient burn before anything else when the edges of leaves brown.
That said, your own thread will bring better answers to your question.
I know you can't post pics right now, so telling us as much as you can about your grow will help in getting some advice.
