RDWC - EC rising, pH dropping & discoloration

Hello everyone!

I figured out my plant issues a few months back and the plants have been flowering since early last month. I feel like they're not progressing as fast as they could be. I've been having issues with both plants EC/pH levels and have tried to add in pure RO water to cut the EC down a bit, but it doesn't seem to do much. The day after the water is added the same situation occurs. On the last res change I cut the amount of nutes down as well in hopes it would correct the issue, but it hasn't.

At the same time, the leaves are starting to curl downwards with some hints of nutrient deficiency/toxicity. I'll attach pictures shortly. Here are the last 3 days of readings..

I adjusted the pH everyday after reading, so these numbers are post-correction.

3.5 gallon res

I think you're over ferted. are you putting ppm A and ppm B together to make over 1000 ppm? I think rising ppm or ec and falling pH mean over fert.

Sorry, I should have clarified, A and B are seperate plants w/ separate buckets for each. I'm in the process of adding fresh ro water to bucket A. B seems to be equalizing will see how it does with tomorrow's check in.
