Damn, that sucks.
Was there a power outage maybe?
It sucks so bad to have to keep chucking stuff as you trim. I hope you ended up with enough good stuff to keep you going though!
What is QWET?Can you use it for QWET?
Quick Wash with EThanol. It's an extraction method of stripping just the trichomes from the flowers using 190 proof alcohol.What is QWET?

Generally, when doing hydro using R/O water, you need to add cal-mag.Cal-mag is not needed with a complete plant food with a totally inert medium.
"Calmag" generally consists of calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate and iron chelate. If this is already in the plant food in adequate amounts why would adding more be of any benefit use? You don't get better results by the "kitchen sink" approach and mentality?Generally, when doing hydro using R/O water, you need to add cal-mag.

Generally you don't need "Calmag" in pure water cultures running a COMPLETE plant food. If you need to add it as a pH buffer you're better of using other buffers for other added benefits in pure water culture. It's all about what's in the actual plant food and I don't think adding "Calmag" should be a general rule without doing any of your own research about the products you're currently using and what they contain to even be able to make a proper judgement.
Cannabis is the only plant crop marketed needing 7+ different product for optimal growth. It's ridiculous, if you go to the hydro store they will tell you you need everything on the shelves and sell you more when you come back with problems.
I solved the innate pH problems with MegaCrop adding potassium silicate as a pH buffer. That's running RO without adding Cal-mag in DWC and Aero with two different batches and formulas. I haven't experienced any major problems running this way for the last 5 years.i run RO which pretty much dictates using some calmag. my base water is only 7 or 8 ppm at most.
most nute companies assume some calmag content in the base water, many don't add any at all, others have different formulas for various water conditions. it's common in europe to buy nutes that way. just look at the conversations uk growers have.
the nute i use brings some calmag with it, but most grows show a mild need for some from about mid veg forward. i never run more than a half dose, usually more like a third.
edit : i grow by a read on the plants and that's what i react to.

Jacks, Floraflex, MegaCrop and many others nutrient brands have a lot of Ca/Mg already added to the formula. You never saw any "Calmag" products on the shelves 30 years ago and I believe people grew just as healthy plants back then.
I'm wondering if you have tried changing your formula adding silicate or other pH buffers and tried skipping the Calmag all together?
