"Yes!
I know your EC is "below 1.2" but not the exact number.
1.2 is usually ok in DWC unless you have a hungry plant, in which case, 1.4 may make all the difference.
The reason to increase the EC is that for the EC to rise, the rise has to come from within the plants roots.
A plant cannot leech nutrients in this way if the EC of the water is higher than the EC of the plants internals. So by increasing the EC of the nutes, it forces the plant to take in nutrition rather than leech it.
You have to still be careful, too high and you will still get burn but if you have burn already, it is possible this burn was down to low EC rather than high EC.
It wouldnt be the first time nute burn has been misdiagnosed.
The thing is, put it this way.
You have tried other ways of solving, increasing your EC to around 1.4 won't hurt that much if I am wrong.
Good lcuk fella. W"
