That's a really bad pic lol but it's easy to tell if you're at a ph lockout, what's your water ph at? What's your runoff ph at?

Lol i know its all i had was actually a pic of the co2 tubing but im not home to take a better one. Plant is shriveling up and only thing it could be is a lockout of sort my ph strips went bad didnt notice till i used drops to test pretty sure my ph was up into the 10_11s

Damn, spend 25 bucks on a digital meter, theyre more accurate
I was always off guessing when I used strips or the drops lol do you ph your water?

Well if you think you're at a ph lockout level, I'd invest in a soil ph meter. I don't know any good ways to lower soil ph other than throwing some gypsum in the mix before you use the soil. lol maybe another member with some experience doing that will chime in

I can't really see the colors I need to on the leaf lol what are your nutes/schedule? You said you watered with your cutting edge solutions and then started having problems, is that the Nute brand? What is your waters ppm after you mix all your nutes up? You could be nuking them on accident or way underfeeding, we need more info and better pics under some better light to tell more lol
