Being in hydro, you'll want to use a "calmag" product like Botainicare CalMag+. 5ml/gal.
In soil you could use gypsum to treat a Ca def more specifically. In soil or hydro you can use epsom salt to treat an Mg def.

Ok now put all those nutes back in there or youll make it much worse. Its a calcium deficiency and you can tell by the little dots on the veins. Its like the easiest deficiency to "spot" hahahaha.
Yes you need to start running a calmag supplement. Start high because your low and it should be better soon.

Thanks a lot! I just finished putting the nutes back hoping all goes well now! I will grab that tomorrow morning. Guy at the hydro store said to leave it in just plain water for a week! Your advice seems a lot more accurate than his. Appreciate it.

Now that i look at it, floraseries does has calcium and magnesium. Not sure what to do I'm getting worried my plants are very droopy

Give it some more. Whats the worst that could happen? Can you find another over or under symptom thats little dots on veins? Experience says calcium so id probably try to eliminate that before anything else right?

I'll add some more today. What should I keep my ppm at? And should I add more floraseries or buy calmag. The symptoms include the dots, stunted growth, droopy leaves and curling leaves

I dunno, i cant see the size of your plant.

Here are some more pictures. The white resin around the plant is just water and baking soda I tried spraying the leaves to see if that would help if it was a fungus growing. As you can see the one plant is very droopy. I am 2 weeks and 4 days into veg

What water do you use? RO or tap? If tap, what is the PPM?
(Photos under natural light are better for assessing problems.).

Yes I'm aware
just was giving alien a rough idea of what stage they are at. I use tap water which the ph is 7. Then I put ph down and I bring it to roughly 5.4-5.6. The Ppm was 850. Now I drained the system and cleaned the salt residue and added fresh nutes on a smaller scale and it's currently 530. Here are some pics for you.Attachments

Not so much anymore they don't look so healthy after this started happening to me. Yesterday they were still good but now not so much. I need to resolve this issue fast before it gets too bad.
