Thank you, im using advanced nutrients sensi grow about 3 ml for about 4 or 5 gallons DWC grow with 400watt hps light. As for temps, i dont have a temp because i dont have those instruments but i've got two fans going in the 4x4x6 tent along with like 6 other small plants.

you using RO water or tap?? 3 ml seem low for 5 gal. what is the PH. ? 400 watts hps will get things kinda warm even with fans . you need good air exchange what them roots look like ?

Im just using tap right now, The ph in the resevoir i had it in before was about 6.2. I changed it yesterday and put new nutrients in because i thought it was a deficiency but today i checked on it and it looked like it was dying. as of right now i've got it in a 5 gal with tap water at a ph of 7. I don't have a ppm meter yet its coming hella slow from china probably gonna order a new one. What should i do about the heat? it does get hot unfortunately. im in a tropical climate

Here are the roots. I phed the water again and its at a 7.2 unfortunately i cant go out and get a ph down thingy until tommorow its 1 am here. I have my sensi grow tho that does the ph thing i just dont wanna hurt it because thats what i tried yesterday which was changing the water and putting nutrients in. The ph for my other resevoir is 7.2 too...it was 6.3 yesterday so im wondering wtf is going on there.

here is what i would suggest . get distilled water. a couple of lemons flush out that res. give it half strength of nutes. so if its 6 ml per gal give 3ml per quarter the lemon and use the juice to get you ph down so it will be able to take in the nute

no not a burn . its just not able to take in the nutes and ph your wter after u put in the nutes and about a hour later check to see if it stable . your tap might have too much chlorine?? or other nasty shit . and you should have a 24 walmart close. ? try that. at 2 am if you feel its that urgent .

I got you, Theres a reverse osmosis water thingy at my winn dixie ill use that instead now. They don't have the ph control stuff at my walmart unfortunately. Expensive at my local hydro store they got the best shit but its expensive af. Never really thought about the nasty stuff in my tap water. Thank you

thats where a lemon will help . 7.0 is too high
some nute will be locked out .
most likly thats your issue. if your tent? is too hot . you need to get it down to 70 to 80 deg.max. air needs to be moving . and taking old air out and bring in fresh air . is your light in a air cooled reflector? or a bat wing? have air move over the light. water temp . mid 60s ph. 5.5 to 6.2 for hydro.all the nutes will be avali for your girl. is this your first grow?
