Holy shit. If that's correct that's super high. Does it go through a water softener or something?
possible K deficient or Magnesium deficiency?

Water softeners add shit. I want to say salts, but don't quote me on that, because I'm not really sure about them. I just know they'll fuck shit up. I'm pretty sure it's salt. That would explain why your plants look like that.

Do You have a water softener?

Test an outside faucet and that should give you an idea of the issue. Let it run for a minute or two and then take your sample.

i have a water softener, but not on my "weed faucet".
water softeners use resin to remove calcium and magnesium from the water. the ca and mg ions bond with the resin. then they flush the minerals from the resin with salt water.

Unfortunately, both plants perished. I had covid through May and it was me or the plants, I guess.
I've not pinpointed my issues as of yet, but it's probably my tap water. I tried bottled spring water, distilled and am about to try RO.
I've switched to SIPs so they're all adequately watered now. Fed properly. I keep my tent at 25° and 64% RH.
I'm just plugging along, trying different things as I go.
