I’m growing DWC still using veg nutes these girls aren’t heavy feeders sitting at 1.2 EC halfway through week 2. I sprayed with bio sulfur and ec has been stable I raised to 1.3 and yellowing started went back to 1.2 and now my ph is dropping ec is stable.leaves are yellowing top down and I simply can’t decide what’s wrong with them.Any advice is deeply appreciated

Just off the top of my head, the Ph may be locking out iron or Mg. What is your ph? It is certainly a non mobile nutrient.
Ph went from 6.0 to 5.8 thinking now I have root rot :/ do the symptoms align? I’ve added a fungal inoculant and will change res to flower Nutes with h202. Endless problems with this grow hurts my confidence. I deeply appreciate your help

Check the roots, see if they're slimey.

It's odd that you sprayed sulphur and then developed a sulphur deficiency.

No idea what sulphur toxity looks like though.
Edit.. it looks dark and nothing like that.

However I'd double check ph with a simple ph test indicator, which don't lie

The way it’s presenting itself, I don’t think it’s a root issue. The reason I say that is because it’s only the new growth that’s affected, the older leaves look fine. If the plant roots were that badly damaged they wouldn’t be able to pull any nutes and the whole plant would show symptoms.

I don’t know if slimey is the right word a load of particles dispersed upon inspections definitely not a good sign co2 problems are possible I will check air pump and stones as water level is staticthanks for the chart will share
A load of particles? Any pics of the particles?

The particle thing sounds like something is going on in the nute solution causing some of the nutes to drop out of solution. I think, as said, that dumping, cleaning, and re-setting the system is a good start.

Agreed. That's why I was wanting to see pics. It would be easy to see if there was precipitation.
