If you could get a closeup picture that would be most helpful.
I noticed in my Veg the pH was spiking and needed adjusting on a daily basis. I had some leaf problems in the beggining but they stabalized once I started flowering and I only needed to adjust ph when I added more solution every 3rd day. I fill to about 60 gallons for about 45 pots.
When I adjust I try to pH between 5.2-5.5. Usually gets up to 6.2 by the time I refill. Doesn't hurt the plants now, but when I was in Veg a climb that big could happen in a day, and was stressing the plants.
If time permits you may want to measue and adjust pH twice daily.
Also, it may be taking too long to fill and drain and you are venturing into the blurred line between DWC and Ebb and Flow. Not sure, just a guess. That is why I run 3/4" line and no more that 8 pots to a line. Have six lines coming out of my control bucket. Using digital timer, usually takes a little more that 7min to fill and 7min to drain...about 15min total. Which is right where a lot of people say is the max time it should take on an Ebb and Flow. Next go around I am going to up some of my diameters, put less pots on a line and try and get that number even lower.
Good luck.
Remember, pictures are not just for showing off when things look good.
By the way, how is Tipton doing? That guy is a riot, I just hope I'm not that frazzlled when I am his age.
