My tapwater is 300ppm, a tblsp of epson bring 5g bucket to 400, 2 tbsp epsom brings to 500, 400 ppms veg then nute to 700ppm or 800ppm for veg 2 tbsp epsom for flower 1000 to 1200ppm for flower, might push it if big. My light rated 1550 nm per second per meter squared about 1200 useable nms per sec per m2. L try to match nutes ppms to nms. 660w light 41 watts per sq ft. I give 1 ft for flower 2ft plus for veg, no dimmer so veg 16x8 as too much light for them, once at 12hr all is good. Look up DLI for veg 20 is good flower 35 and up. Think light might be too much for them.

I use sf4000 and do Dwc but am new to it. Just getting lucky right now. But anyways…. When my plants turn purple stems and new grow has that limp feeling. The solution is to either raise light or dim it down. When my plants were that size I was I was like two feet away and I ran at 40%. I only turn it up like once a week by maybe 5%. Just now got to 100 percent where they can take it. That light is strong. I know it penetrates good because the my Kratky peppers that live under these love it.
Now I’m no guru here. But I think it’s your light. Also what’s your humidity and temps like ? This could contribute too. I dont see a sign of a chiller wich is fine. I run hydroguard and toss a frozen water bottle in at lights on and lights off. Sounds like a lot of work but I’m gonna be looking and checking ph and ppms anyways so why not. It’s easy.
Now that i mentioned how to dodge a chiller. I keep my tent temps at 81-84 during lights on and 77 lights off. Recently let it drop to 74-75 lights out trying to get them to flower faster. I got some sweet time takers this go around. I used to do autos in soil but eff that jazz. Dwc and photo is the way to go if you can keep them under control. I do t k ow how guys do more than two Dwc bucket in a tent. Way better growers than me.
Finally humidity. I still follow chart from grow weed easy still. I suggest you get a ac infinity with a controller if you dont have one already. I also suggest you get a size bigger than what actual cfm’s you need. It helps a lot.
I have to run a heater to keep room temps ideal and my tent sits on tile floor that stays cold like concrete. My water temp never passes 74 frozen water bottle or not. Everyones scenario is different. You will have to tweak things and figure out how to get it all to line up. Your room looks very big and I see a lot of lights.
Sorry to rant on but that’s my advice. I’m no guru but the stuff I explained has my stuff looking really nice. There are some guys here that grow monsters that look so good. I strive to do that.
Pic is for humidity at wich stage that I run. Rest is my notes. I havent did no type of flush like notes said. Im not gonna flush unless something gets outta wack with nutes.
