Yeah, hard to see because of the light color, but looks a bit weird.

Overfeeding. Too much Nitrogen. Cut back on the feeds. Do you water between feedings?

DWC setup, 600 ppm, 6.3 ph, water temp 65, room temp 72, humidity 30%.

Vpd.. interesting... could possibly be. I've looked up some photos of vpd but vpd seems to be followed by yellowing of the leaves also which mine are not.

Is the pH rising? Indicating they are using the nutes? How old are they and have you grown this strain before in DWC? It just looks very leafy like excess N.

The yellowing in a seperate issue from vpd
The humidity at 30% isnt that bad....so... how harsh is the air movement around the plants?

Iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum are you're micronutrients.
There's your metals. However, you're PH seems right for proper absorption to me.

Running GSC. Never ran this in DWC. Ph is rising. These guys are about 2 weeks in veg. To me they look really healthy. It's just the leaves look a little odd and chunky.

Should I drop ph down to 5.5 and let it work up? I've heard certain micros work at certain ph only.

I wouldn't go below 5.8 honestly. If they aren't absorbing by then, something else is wrong.
You have to lower it slowly though or you'll shock the shit out of them. Over a 2 day period is optimum. This way you can see if they are improving or not without risking you're whole plant.
If they get worse, you can raise the ph back up. If they get better, run at 5.8-6.0. Some plants can be a real pain in the ass with ph. That's why I chose to grow organically.

Are you using RO water?

No. I'm using well water. It runs about 140 ppm.
