Hi,
I am trying DWC hydro out and having some trouble.
I have a young guajillo pepper plant with leaves curling up on the sides. It has been this way for several days. I have two others which are not showing signs of a problem like this...
I am using Flora Duo mixed to a PH of 6.3, mostly part A mixed to 360-400ppm and it stays 68-70F.
Maybe it is calcium deficiency? I am using tap water at about 90 ppm so I haven't been using CaMg+... but maybe it isn't hard enough.
I had been higher ph water (adjusted to ~7) until the first true leaves showed up, so maybe it was the shift in PH. I wasn't sure if that was too big of a jump. Next time I will use more acidic water the whole time.
It seems like there is a bit of cotyledon "sun" burn too from my LED lighting. This plant is the closest to the center of the light.

Any ideas?
Thanks
