Just FYI...before anyone helps you they will ask you to fill out the troubleshooting form. I'm new at this and unfortunately have no other advice than that...just wanted to give you a jumpstart.
I'll be watching your post to pick up any pointers.

You say your vegging in hydro and bloom in drip system ? Please explane the two systems and I think you may have your answer. Sounds like it's a watering thing. What is the medium too ? Hydrotron rocks or coco coir, rockwool. You do have a PH meter ? And Distilled water you have cal-mag plus too right ? Could be even though they drink a lot could be nutes lockout from PH being off. Should be 5.8 for hydro.

I interested just to learn. Everything else looks good.

thanks for your replies let me help you understand. I started vegging in the ebb n flow and then changed to a drip system for the flowering(did it to save water). I am using hydron rocks and YEs using cal mag.
Yes i have a PH meter.
My PH spiked from 580 normal to 760 in one day.
I changed out all water did a 2 hours flush with clearex and perioxide and distiled water tonight. I believe ,i didnt have a good enough flow in srip t them and started a lock out.
am going to monitor closely for the next coulle dasy and hopfullly they perk back up.
whats your thoughts?
thanks for nay imput you can help with

Looks like a ph problem.
Are you confusing ph and ppm? 580 and 760 are not ph numbers, but they do look like they are part-per-million numbers. Normal ph range for hydro is between 5.8 and 6.2 I think, but am not a hydro guy so someone should correct me if I'm off.

my apologizes tyoing issues PH was 5.8 and jumped to 7.6 well see what happens with water change
