why is it my plants do most of their pearling on the day after WC?

i find myself adding 3x the EI dosing for NO3 to keep the nitrates up and dosing on micro days. according to the fertilator 3 tsp should yield me 21ppm but after a few hours i test and results are only 5. are my plants really using that much nitrates? yes my tests are calibrated.

ive had to trim a few times so far and have replanted the tops of polysperma, but they melt within a few days, any idea why?

thanks.
