ok so i will foliar feed calmag... what EC foliar feeding? like normal EC 0.4 for CALMAG? Bottle says to mix nutes up to 0.4 EC with CALMAG so should i go full strength cal mag while foliar feeding or higher/lower?

ok so 100ppm about EC 0.2 so 50% strength... i'll do that today... is there such a thing as TOO MUCH WATER ON LEAVES? like i was foliar feeding once and sparing often and soon the plant started drooping.. but maybe she was drooping because of too much light problem and not because of too much water as i thought... so question is: is there something as TOO much water on the leaves... can i overspray them? like do they die if its "raining" a lot the whole day or is that ok and doesnt matter better to rain whole day than extreme desert dryness?
Did u notice on my plant... the healthy leaves are very flat and the damaged new growth is all puffed up and looking like 3D leaves i dont know hot to describe that but the damaged yellow new leaves are not as flat as healty new growth... they are about double as thick as a normal leave they are puffed up... like as if they would be fillet with a lot of water or something... do u know what that is? or the problem/culprit?
how warm is best? while 70% power light i have about 28 C... when lowering light temp will drop to about 25C... maybe even lower like 21C... what would be too low? Right now the heater is broken so there is no way at heating the room... instead of buying a new heater... but if 21 C is enough then i dont need to buy one.
If you have to.... just move light further away and keep it at whatever power you need to keep them around 24-25c+. 25*C isn't bad at all.......... Also water temps in DWC is #1.. warm roots equals low oxygen and root rot pythium.... gotta keep water around 20*C.for pearly white roots unless you use stuff to fight it which is a losing battle.
Just dont stress it.....stay mellow....follow vpd and your gut.... be gentle with the plants and stay outta there way... dont be too scientific about it... Just feed gentle and let VPD do the work....... Carbon,Hydrogen,Oxygen is everything.... co2 vpd and genetics will get you 2-3gpw dream, not any nute bottle.

everytime i check water is around 20.0 to 20.2 C.... but sometimes its just 22 without the other temps changing (like air temp leaf temp and so on) that makes me ask it the thermometer is malfunctioning when it shows 22... since the tank is isolated with isolation material and a built construction around it.
Thanks for ur help btw dude! Sprayed her with 0.2 EC / 200ppm CALMAG water... will look at her how shes going... how long to expect to see a difference? better/worse...? more drooping would be worse right...? but if the leaves raise to the sky and get deeper color that would be good right?
At 72*F and above you start to get pythium potential, but at the time I was not able to handle VPD properly so my temperatures/humdity was horrible and plants were stressed to the point of issues without the water temp being a initial problem. I was trying peroxide, chlorine, and frozen water bottles.....
If you have to keep the room cooler to manage the res temps just do it, and match the right VPD you'll be fine.... Maybe have a cold res outside and pump inside.

Ok I see! Better to keep water temps in check than air temps at high levels... dude thanks for ur help I really appreciate ur time! i'll read it over and over and will make the changes now... will update over the course thank you very much!
28C air temp is cold?
temparatuer is mostly constant... lik 25C all day thru
look at page 2. There are a lot of close up pics of the plants and all the leaves and so on
is that enough or what do u mean?
Well, those show clear signs of Ca and Mg defs. So that is where you should start. Maybe PH related, since those 2 have more limited absorbtion intervals than other nutes?
I was thinking you got more recent pics to show how is going now, but those are clear enaugh to get you started on fixing this.

first... i didnt use calmag for weeks... she ran in deficiencies and i started to use calmag because a user recommended... i started to use at 50% strength and things got better... over time i didnt add anything so still the 50% strength and maybe a lot was already absorbed so nothing left in water... maybe thats the reason why... i was not adding enough calmag in the first place and then i wasnt refeeding in about a week! so maybe she sucked all the 50% strength (100 ppm/ 0.2 EC )calmag over the week and thats why she went so severe deficient again? could that be? PH is on point all the time... and raisind like people suggested... and PH also calibrated so i know the reading is correct.... but think about the calmag problem and that i only started useing 50% strength when she was already deficient and didnt add more over a week so maybe thats exactly the problem right now?? Calmag was tooo low for toooo long (basically since seed planting...)
