both pH readings are ok for hydro. but that is a big difference.
do you have calibration fluids? my meter is a 2pt calibration: 4pH and 7pH so you need both fluids.
Plant are not eating at all

that does suck. can you get your hands on any of the PH indicator drops or sticks?
either that or take the average of them and hope for the best? lol

Remove that SCROG netting
You have no concept of how to use it anyway

did you do the flush first?
are they drinking more water today than they did in the last few days?

im still flushing , since i couldn't remove all water from system after adding fresh ph balanced water that's what ppm become (im using 3 stage filtered water not RO ) but thats a good sign right ? if ph goes up and water goes down

since the plants are short it acts as holding net, besides what it has to do with plants not eating ?

i'm confused.
did you drain out all of the old res water first? or however you empty the whole system.
then refill with RO water (you can pH or not pH, doesn't matter)
let that run for at least 12 hours, 24 hours is better.
then drain again
then refill with RO water and maybe 2mL per gallon of floranova
but yes, pH going up and water going down is good.

so i drained as much as i could from rez , vacuuming buckets is not real cuz i have too much roots so when i removed 30 gal water system left with around 10 gall of nute water. im letting it run for 24 hr

ok, gotcha now.
just let it run for 24, then drain as best you can, then refill with the 2mL per gallon and let's see what happens.
good luck! . with my plants, they would usually start eating alot after the flush.

Thank @rkymtnman
so imassuming just 2 ml nutes right ? no silica no calmag ? (that 150ppm in my water is mainly call mag so i dont really need to add ) no additional PK until they start eating ?

yep, 2mL per gallon. let's keep it simple and easy, nothing else.Thank @rkymtnman

So water level dropping slowly (but that can be evaporation also right ? ) , PPM same (380) PH rising slowly lights are on from 11am-11pm . co2 is 450-500
