Unexpected Wilting?????

OK, I'm going to fill out the infirmary log too but, gotta tell you whats happened. Last week i did a res change, as my 4 plants were being switched to flowering. I dumped the res, washed it down and refilled with fresh 7.0 water & pH'd it down to 5.8 & added a dose of MOAB ( dosing for 40 gal res).
All was Great! About a week and a half to 2 wks later, i added in ( mistake #1 I think :bashhead: ) a 5 gal bucket (pH'd to 5.6) of Cutting Edge Solutions flowing nutes. Added the micro first to the bucket then the rest, like i should've. Would adding this TO the MOAB res cause a nute lock up? About 2 days after the add, I had one of my cracks wilting/drooping, all others were bangin' still, esp the Dynomites. I figured my watering timer had a mistake and hadn't watered or something. Check it, all was good. flooded it just to make sure. The next day the plant was still wilty, so I dumped the res. washed it out. Dumped a 5 gal bucket of fresh water + clearX over all the plants. Then washed/refilled the res with the C.E.S. flowering nutes per the bottle, + light dose of SM-90, Hygrozyme, & Sweet. The crack ended up dying by the next morning :( While the other crack was OK & the Dynomite still perked and bangin'!
This morning I go out, and my smaller Dynomite is now wilty!!!!! :nono: :cuss: What is going on!! I've never had this problem before, and have used my Ebb Flow system successfuly for the last 4-5 yrs ( minus a 1yr time when i was mourning and not interested in growing) . I can't afford to loose another plant from this run, as I only started w/ 4. I've got 8 clones rooted and growing now, but the first 4 were to pay for more nutes and shit :(

Did you check the roots of the dead crack. Did it have root rot (pythium).
Add some h202 cause it sounds like it's spreading.

What is the Water temperature? about 74-78

Too high?

that thing has pythium or "damping off" sad. extract it from the rest into a dwc tub and or add h2o2 to the whole res. killing off all bennies in place, but killing the pythium.

I added 1/2 ml per gal H2o2 when i redid the res change,when the crack died... forgot that tid-bit on the rundown sheet.Dampening off,, that's too much moisture isn't it? .. The crack had great roots. Not slimy or anything, just the redish/orangish color from the nutes. nice thick healthy ones... I"m thinkin either my NutraDip probe is faulty or something... I'm just at a loss :badday:
