im wondering if using the hot water from my water heater could be causing some nute problems? i let it sit for 24 hours before using. but it may have some bad stuff in it? i use to grow about 3 years ago. and just started back up recently. but i don't ever remember ever using that water.

Your hot water is the worst you could possible use. Cold tap has less metals then hot tap. You should just let your cold water sit out for 24 hours.

i used the water heater for convenience. cause its the only water available in the basement. i remember before i use to lug 5 gal buckets from upstairs before. i thought 70* water was ok. it was when it it got to 75-80* degree range it could be bad?

the temp isnt the problem there. check your ppm of hot water at room temp check your ppm of your cold water at room temp, almost always the hot water will have higher ppm from collecting metal from your pipes. If you have copper pipes you can kill your plants.

ppm of 380 before and 720 after is 340 of nutrients correct? pH goes up as time goes on?

If so try lugging cold tap water and set ppm to 800 with pH 5.5-5.6 let it rise naturally to 6.0 then change res

Hot watert heaters have a tendancy to grow lime scale .. etc.... If the PPM of the water comming out of the hot water heater is 380ppm, try seeing what it is o0n the cold tap ( from bathroom, ketchen etc...)

Cold tap is 320. I have started filling buckets so we will see what happens.

shoot for 800-1000 ppm with nutrients that is super hard water btw.... I haven't tried your line of nutrients. I use the dynagro neem oil though

This explains a lot I was having problems with seeds germinating. And clones not rooting and looking burnt. I do have RO setup just waste to much water and takes forever to produce.
