I have a DWC that two plant share a reservoir to and one plant is exuding reverse taco leaf symptoms. These are all three different tops of the same plant.

Ph 5.77
PPM 789
Water temp: 58.6 f



You can tell the difference between the two plants sharing a reservoir in this picture. One has the reverse taco leaves, the other is just fine.

I would raise the temp to 65 f

I'll give that a go! I was wondering if the water temp could be an issue. I'll put in a heater. I bought three originally, two for my reservoirs and one for my fish tank. The one in my fish tank malfunctioned and killed everything in them so if anyone can recommend some quality water tank heaters that won't cook my roots, I'm all ears!

Only grow in soil but I've never had problem with the tetras in my fish tanks

I'd reduce the N a bit.

Looks pretty similar from other examples I'm seeing, thanks!

Fortunately I've only added RO water the past two adjustments so I will continue to do so and perhaps be a little lighter on the N next go around!

Dropped the PPM by a little over 100 by adding two gallons if RO water. Didn't even need to PH it since it was going to pull it in the direction needed anyways!
