That could be a great tip for me. I have hard water here. Starts at 250 ppm. Lots of calcium in it. So....been wondering if i actually need more...

If i add. 5ml per gallon i bring the water up to 450ppm.

Yup this may be your problem, if you're using tap water at 250 and then add cal mag at 5ml a gal. That would be an overload on calcium and or mag and it will throw off phosphorus.

Your plants have a unhealthy dark green tone, leaves look like they are struggling to get food and are holding water. Purple stems as well. I had all these issues right now, just starting to get it to turn around.

I ditched my tap water even though I was cutting it 72/25 with RO water. It's all 100% RO now. Try increasing your base nutes next time instead of adding cal mag.

It's not the cobs man it's growers error almost always lol

Did you see the pics on page 3 of the thread? Where i culled...

They were just transplated... those seem to be cominv around but still show that phosphorous def.

Ill try flushing those...but afraid of over watering....again...lol

2x4 joists then concrete. Why?
Thinking cold root zone X cooler leaf temps as associated with LEDs could play a part.
I don't think your likely to have too high a root temp as you suggested on the other thread, HPS has a shit ton of IR and would heat a black pot much more than LED but folks have used black pots in conjunction with HPS for many years at higher temps than yours without causing the medium to be too warm. More likely its the opposite.

Hmmmm.... what about a warm root zone and low leaf temp (lack of ir) which would reduce transpiration? What effect would that have i wonder?

Dude your roots are not "warm" . Corey could be right about the cooler temps
bro have you even ever harvested a cannabis plant? you might want to get a few grows under your belt before giving others suggestions, kind of makes you look like a dick.

Now who is being a dick? Or are you so used to the crap that goes on in Riu that you dont recognize a question when you see one?

I wasnt dissing your bro. I asked a question.
Now Ill ask it of you... is 78f root zone not a problem.

I think it is a congrituting factor. And guess what? After transplanting to bigger pots which brought the root zone temp down the wilting isnt nearly as bad.

As for my harvests....theyre posted all over this site for a few years now.

I find it laughable that you are worried about how I'm coming off to others lol.

You have more people here that dislike you than any other member I can name off my head. That's why you either help newbs or talk shit on threads. lol but hey who am I to call out facts right ?

I don't care how you come off but don't offer advice when you are a TOTAL newb, you are on your first grow.

78F is not a problem for roots in soil, those temps are pretty much optimal. If you were in a hydro bucket you might run into some root rot issues but in soil you should be golden, if you still having issues add some hygrozyme , sensizyme or cannazyme(pond enzymes) to clear those roots out.
