It's not 'full hydro'...in hydro, the roots are constantly in a nutrient filled solution, whereas in perlite, which actually holds very little water and no cec, they are not. it's not exactly the same thing!
Calcium deficiency?????

I Hempy bucket has a rez in the bottom. The roots are in a neutriant solition

Don't get hung up on that... in terms of what the roots are exposed to they may as well be in pure hydro.
If you did the same thing with coco coir, the lines start blurring more.
I don't know how far you are in, but there are a few points where it is suggested you flush your grow with many nutrient lines.
Such as after week 3. In hydro that means running pHed water for 24 hour before going on with the next week's schedule. In coco or soil, they suggest flushing with 3 times the volume.

Here's what Merriam Webster thinks
Definition of hydroponics
: the growing of plants in nutrient solutions with or without an inert medium (such as soil) to provide mechanical support
I think we are close enough for stoner work

My first true hydro run was e&f (ebb and flow); the plant table was regularly flooded with and drained of nutrient.
Hydration/nutrition alternated with aeration.
Still full hydro in my estimation.
EC is electrical conductivity and there is a conversion factor to get to parts per million, hence why I prefer TDS.

It doesn't really matter as long as it is for personal use... i.e. tracking nutrient levels in your reservoir... it starts getting problematic when we try to instruct someone and they use something with the wrong conversion ratio.
Sorry to hijack but i need help
I believe this is a phosphorus deficiency. Strawberry fields soil till soil nutes ran out. Then i flipped to flower. In 5 gallon pots. i noticed only 2 fungus gnats stuck to two colas so i fed twice every other day root cleaner And sprayed spinosad. Cyco nutrients suggest 5.5-5.8 for soil. I changed it to 6.2 week 6. My other plants in week 3 are starting to show shades of purple. At night the temp goes down to 60-65 but no less than 60. ppms at first were 1200 per instructions but figuring it was cookies i dropped it to 1000. My gorilla glues and gelatos aren't turning purple but are fairly smaller buds should be bigger. after you guys help me with this i can show pics of those i may have posted 1 or 2 of them. No mites no pm. No overwatering. sometimes they wilt just a bit on the other day of feeding at night Before i feed But not full on wilt. Also the leaves at the bottom end up turning brown and dying at the very bottom of the plant under the net slowly work their way up but not the top yet

Not buried yet and i did no dice
Yep I think that makes a big difference. You use cyco nutes?
