Very confusing leaves and what is wrong

We had to move our grow room. So it went from city water on a Reverse Osmosis system (averaging 300 PPM before nutes), to well water where it is over 3000 PPM with nutes. We also had a situation with the PH meter, where I didn't realize it was not working correctly, so I am assuming it was high for quite a while.

We started the clones with our water and switch to the well water for flower. They were looking great in the cloning area, but after a week at the new place they look like below.

Hydro Ebb n Grow
feed every 4 hrs for 45 min
nutes are at 50% of reccommended
in Hydroton

I am confused as to what is going on. The leaves are telling me different things. I'm wondering if it is just a PH issue so it locked out the nutes. Do you think the PPM make a difference as well? Is it because of the move? We can always install the reverse osmosis at the new place.

I appreciate any info. This out third time at this. The last one was great, but the move has shaken things up.

Thanks!!!

If you ph was way high it may have locked out the nutes . Get your ph between 6.0 and 6.5 as soon as possible .... personally without knowing if its lock out or nute burn .. or even a combo of both - I would cut nutes out completely and hit them with pure water ( if your questionable about the well water you may want to get some distilled at your local mart ) then you should either see improvement or more signs of needing a feeding . The pictures dont show the color of your foilage very well , if you could get a better pic of the colors it may help others " with more knowlede of nute diffinciancies than me ; ) " to diagnose the problem more accurately ... I hope you get em turned around - Ive seen much worse make it - so dont give up

Your RO water was 300 ppm? For real? And now your well is 3000 ppm? Are those readings from the same meter?

Give me your full regiment, I need PPM, pH, and what nutrients you are using. I say this like 10x times a day.... fucking ca/mg!

300ppm is city tap. Research, ese, you are on a growing community. You need real r/o or real distilled water with less than 10ppm, and go from there.

An R/O membrane is not going to put out 300 ppm water.... sounds more like a carbon filter setup than R/O Yeah, anything over 2k ppm is a sure fire death warrant for pants. That sounds like some fucked up water.
