  2. you just need to back off on the nutes a bit. 1 or 2 ppm ought to do it.
     
  3. I dont do hydro, there are some sharp hydro guys here, if no one answers I suggest your nutes are a little strong
     

  4. so do you mean 100 or 200 ppm? or just lower it by 1 or 2 ppm? I use less than the recomended doseage of nutes so how could i be over nuteing them?
     
  5. Never follow the dosing recommendation stated on the label. Always start out with half the dosage.

    For a plant that young, I wouldn't go over 400 PPM of ferts. You may also have an excess of salt build-up.

    You also need to lower your light as well. That is way too high to have your light. Lower it as far as possible without burning your plant.

    I grow with 3000 watts, and my lights are about 18 inches away for the tops of the plants.
     
  6. okay...i will go out and buy a tester...what kind should i get to test the ppm's? also that is a sick bud in your avatar...pretty damn big
     
  7. sorry! yes, 100 or 200 ppm. as stated above, companies want you to use up your supply and buy more. i almost never go over 1000 ppm. usually more like 800.
    peace
