It should be a nightmare, working with 1 hand

Sorry hear about the hand Tav. plants are looking good though. and kudos for the airlines in the cast.
Are you using the Lucas Method here? I can't remember...I'm probably going to try this in a GH Powergrower before too long...

Edit: The part of that I find most interesting is you don't empty your res...you top off with RO water, then add nutes in the correct ratios to increase EC/PPM to desired levels...as the plants naturally lower the EC (by growing) it raises the pH, giving them the full spectrum of nutes across the various pH levels at which they absorb. This way you can keep their EC locked in and let pH naturally drift around a bit...this is compared to fighting pH into sync at every step and pulling your hair out when it goes up a couple of points in the evening after you adjust in the morning....instead you would just top off with water, then add nutes to correct pH back to a "close" value and let it drift back up...focusing on the EC as the control point vs the pH.

I'm using GH FloraDuo. Instead of the 3 part series it's a two part A/B.
it's a 1:3 ratio easy feeding regimen. 3:1 A/B in veg and 1:3 A/B in Flower.
That works just fine, but I've modified it a bit to work for me.
My magic numbers are 3:2:1
Vegetation 3 parts A - 2 parts B - 1 parts CaliMagic.
Flower 3 parts B - 2 Parts A - 1 parts CaliMagic.
I've found CalMag to be necessary, but my waters starting PPM is between 11-15 so someone using tapwater with a higher background may not need it.

Update:
Day-13
PH- 5.8
EC- 0.85
An AWESOME Recovery in 24 hours.
Just going to put it out there and let you guys know where I was messing up.

I usually use H2O2 to keep things sterile, and Bayer Tree and Shrub to keep away Root Aphids during veg but THIS round I figured I'd get a jump on em and start everything right away. Basically that was a bad idea. WAY too early for either especially after ph issues. The humidity was 30 something percent so I added a humidifier to keep it at 55%. The leaves were just drying out.
I did a res change last night and left everything out but base nutes, and calmag.
Today everything not only bounced back to life, but really put on some size.

Here's some pictures of the turn around.
