i believe the most common cause of that effect mate is over nutrient usage.

that ec is way to high for them at that age, especilly in a bubble. I would have them well below 1.0 ec. and your ph is too high as well should be about 5.5-6.0. hope this helps goodluck

your doing the right thing, just keep adding water, or even better start with a fresh tank . canna nutes are good stuff, but quite strong. put in half what it says (check canna website for dosages) and then check the ec the next day. if the ec has gone down then it menas there're drinking more nutes than water so you can safly increase the amounts of nutes until water and nute usages are the same.
ph does flucturate in a bubbler, but getting the ec right helps with that alot.

im gonna start fresh i rekon cheers mate.
would the over nuting eventually kill the plant or would the plant adapt and grow?

if the feed is too much then its too much and would either eventully kill the plant or siverly stunt its growth. as long as you use your ec pen correctly, and let the plants show you how much they want, you can give the plants as much food as they need throughout the entire cycle without burn. once you got that nailed it all becomes that much easier.

hi,
if your in the uk then just putting tap water in, if you have to, should be fine - ive done it plenty of times. not sure about water treament stuff never used it, but prob wouldnt. canna do a good line of root nutrients like rhizotonic and cannazyme, bcuzz and advanced nutrients also have good stuff. it all works but can be very pricwy
tommiboi011091

Hi mate, the reason the EC is increasing is usually because the temperature is too high, the EC usually drops and only when the plants are drinking more water than eating food or with evaporation does the EC increase.
Cool it down in there, you will get better results and a none stressed plants.
Looks like heat to me in the pic too.
