I PhD the RO nute mix to about 6.3 at about 3 almost 4 hundredppm and immeditely started a massive droop or wilt..I got scared! So I decided to flush thenext day as I saw no improvements and again even after running 10 gal of pure PHd RO water no improvement at all!!

Looks more like it's just overwatered and may have just drooped from that. Natural light would make better pictures too.

Tips curling down like that is a sign of overfeeding and considering that you recently put them in fairly rich soil The nutes you added might have been enough to OD them a bit. Doesn't look like any serious damage done and as you flushed already I'd let them keep going and just feed water next time they dry out and see how they do.

Purple stems are common in lots of strains and often damage is done trying to correct a problem that doesn't exist so I wouldn't worry too much.

They look like they are ery dark green but I can't really tell with the blurple all over them. Very dark green leaves are another sign of overfeeding as well.

This is one of the better nute problem charts I've ever seen but you got to piece all the clues together when you suspect problems. Read the fine print before committing to a course of treatment.

She looks like she's in a growth spurt for sure with those lime-green grow tips. Takes a while for them to green up when a plant is growing fast.

Just let the soil dry out pretty good before watering again. The pots should feel really light but the plants haven't started to droop from thirst yet.

I think they look pretty damn good.

Don't use pure RO water. Always add a little cal-mag to it if you must use RO. Or just use plain tap water. Unless you live somewhere where the water is so hard and thick you have to use a fork it's ok to use tap water.

My tap water comes out at about 300 ppm... I wouldn't mind using tap water, that way I don't have to run to the store to fill my jugs everyday!I'm just worried about the chlorine..

Don't worry about chlorine. There isn't enough in tap water to do any harm. Also chlorine is actually an essential micronutrient for plants. People have been watering their plants for decades with chlorinated water with no ill effects whatsoever. The maximum amount of chlorine allowed in tap water is 4 parts per million, not enough to hurt much of anything.

Depends what's in your tap water and the type of Mg and Ca in tap water are not in a form plants can uptake easily. I use straight hydro nutes with RO water and use CalMag at about a 1/4 the amount it says on the bottle. Never seen any problems even before I started using it just a few years back. All the rage tho. :)
