agreed with swag.

i would dump your rez out and just give ph 5.8 water for a few days.

if your ppm is going up daily..that means she is just drinking water.

if your roots are in the water then i would lose the drip ring..imho.

If your PH is going from 5.5 to 6.1 in 4 hours, I'd start looking there. With a higher ppm like that your ph shouldn't fluctuate. Bacteria, algae, or the hydroton.
Did you rinse, and PH the hydroton before you used it?
Your ph should only rise a point, or two in 24 hours.

I did rinse ph is stabilizing but now I just have that plant looking like that should I just plant it in dirt or how can I fix this besides fresh ph water only

ph swing as theres no background buffer in distilled water you could try adding 10-20% tap water

use a 2 part as 3 part complicate things if new green dream is a very good 1 part but avoid ionic

let the ph drift so set at 5.8 and only correct if it goes .3 out from there
you need more light

2 part hydroponic formulas a & b canna aqua, vita link 2 part etc

I have seen a few growers go from 2 part to ionic and they have had issues thats why I said that don't know if they have improved the formula in the last 3 years though

Try dynagro cheap and one part everything nute... I swear by them so far.

You can buy two bottles of this compared to other expensive brands that don't work anywhere near as well.

although i haven't tried Dyna-Grow yet..i am in big favor for a 1 bottle grow and bloom solution.

for my last several grows ive been using GH Flora Nova Grow/Bloom.

1 bottle for each,and ive been happy with my results...my only complaint with it has been that my nutrient solution isn't clear..depending on the ppm its kinda brownish,but my roots are fairly white..least the new roots are..we all know that older roots tend to discolor a bit.

It's a 1-part from beginning to end? Or one part for veg and one part for flower?
