Hi guys hope you can point me in the right direction. She’s 3 weeks old DWC HYDRO set up 5 gal with about 3gal of water in it (Yes it’s reverse osmosis) sitting at 150ish PPM after nutes as of now . I’m starting to think it’s not nute burn I’ve had it at low PPM for a while now . Leaves are also curling up but heat is no issue she stays around 70 degrees and my lamp is at 60%power and 2ft from the plant . Help please I can provide more info and pics if needed
Possible nute burn ? deficiency?

Need more nutes, 150ppm (.3 ec?) is far too low.
Confirm your pH is good
She'll bounce back quickly

see that’s what I was thinking you think doubling would be fine ? I don’t measure EC should I start ? I just go off ppm as of now . I also keep my Ph between 5.5-6.2 but aim for 5.8

Your meter is measuring EC, just displaying it with a multiplier, .5 conversion is most common in US. EC is nice because its unambiguous.
Doubling seems about right.
Also, 70f is too cool, she'd do much better at 80f

Ok I’ve bumped it up to around 250PPM I have a feeling I can go even higher but want to take it up slow seeing as how she’s already not looking to good
