Growing basil in an aeroponics setup. PH is 6.0 Ppm is 690 and I use ro di water. Temps about 73 degrees Fahrenheit. My Ppm was 1450 but since I noticed that the leaves are curling I cut back significantly. I've read that it could be a sign of over feeding. I also read it could be a calcium and or magnesium deficiency. I just would like some input please. Thanks.

It would be hard to say for sure...but I have found little care is needed for growing basil...I usually use a compost tea to feed mine...if you have high acid then leaf will curl...if you think it needs "calcium and or magnesium " use a bit of epsom salt to add mag...and/or crushed egg shell or oyster shall of addition of calcium
