issue Hydroponic leaf curl

[evolka]

My carolina riper grows hydroponically. The upper leaves became small and curled. There are a lot of flowers, but they are very small in size.
PH many times went beyond normal levels <5.5-5.8>
PPM went up to 1200.
PPM is now around 800, PH 5.8
tell me what the problem is and how to solve it.

And this is the same Carolina Riper, with the same symptoms, but already growing in the ground

I'm no hydroponics expert, but I can try and guess.

What kind of nutrients are you using? What kind of water?

pH sounds kind of low, but I don't think that's the issue. Might want to try and bump it up a bit to 6.0-6.5ish, but upper 5's shouldn't be causing issues that severe.

My guess would be small bugs ( like mites or thrips ) or a maybe a virus.

Check under the leaves with a loupe or magnifying glass to see if you have any tiny bugs on your plant.

If it's a virus, you're out of luck - you'll need to start over. As far as I know, the only way to check for sure if it's a virus is to send a sample to a lab and have them test it.

I use Valagro fertilizers

Ground water, without purification, water ph 5.6 ppm ~ 20-40

I did not see any beetles, I carried out an insecticide treatment once a month.
Is this symptom similar to ph disorder?
Is it a fertilizer overdose?

It looks like a virus.
I would cut all the affected parts and i watch the next shoots.
