Hello, I’ve done what I would personally call a lot of research before just jumping in. However I quickly learned without the experience or proper tools. Problems would occur. I’ve been noticing on my four GSC ladies tips or blackish/Grey , they are now 8 wks and day 3 into flower. Could someone help with what I should do the correct this , as it’s been going on for a week or 2 now. I’m using a 4x4 grow tent and (2)600watts leds set at 17 inche temp is 70-78 F with humidity 50-60 with equipment and temp here this was the best I could do. Humidity usually only rise doing feed. Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. Ph Feed 6.3-6.8 ppm is at 850. Am advice?

Might be over watering your plants dude

When there in flower make sure you give some good spacing between wet and dry cycles, it helps produce more THC as well when u dry a plant out and feed it str8 PHed water at least once every 3 feedings
Thank you, I’ve been watering as such. Day1 feed until runoff, Day 2 24hrs of just air and Day 3 just PhD water until runoff. Than, repeat. Is the water uptake pretty slow? I’ll go 36/48 before water now. Although, top soil do seem to be dry at time of water. Thank you again, it seem to only be no more than 3-5 leaf tips affected on each

Get used to the weight of a dry pot vs wet one and water when the pot feels light. Don't base your watering on time, base it on the weight of the pot. After a few waterings like this you'll really have a better feeling of how much your plants are drinking.
Also when you post pics of your plants try and do it without the leds on. It makes it hard to diagnose.
All your other numbers look good. Watering is a very overlooked skill for new growers.
Good luck!

Day 24 for the 6 bigger Barney’s farm strains, 17 days for the blue cheese on the outside there sluggish due to kera seed genetics and being an old seed pack they don’t even make blue cheese by kera seed anymore, I plan on flipping em to flower on day 32 ish, might run em even longer I’m aiming for 60-90 grams a plant on the bigger ones...an ounce or so on each lil one or whatever they can manage to become by the time the bigger ones run me outta room

I’m using 7 gal fabrics right there, all of em I started em in it... yesss lol I just know how to properly water em so they don’t over feed not many ppl do that and I don’t usually either but this run I did. There bout as wide as the 14 inch wide pot there in and the tallest one is pushing 10 inches on day 24 from sprout with a strong 8-10 quality bud sites
Nice looking gals, the bigger 6 seem to love your regimen

Do you sledgehammers or anything as such to flush as nutrients change?

Yeah buddy it starts with the genetics I believe , I’m running gorilla zkittlez a 700+ grams per square meter monster, and 8ball kush which is offspring of strong afghan/Hindu kush landrace I believe. The blue cheese n GZ r both 60/40 indica n the 8ball is mainly indica probly 90%
I tried my hand at topping and lst from watching vidz, here’s the results. Currently drying the water on the floor now.

What nutrient line are you currently using?

I usually water them when needed like every 3 days @ roughly 1/8-1/10 of what the pot size is , for example if u got 7gals like me Right now every 3 days I be giving em 1 gallon between every two of the bigger ones (1.5-2 liters ish) but u gotta build em up especially in a big pot and small seedling like I did this run. And what u mean as nutrients change exactly? Cuz I been giving mine advanced nutrients micro grow and bloom with voodoo juice I just cut em off that for now tho u only use it first two weeks then first two of bloom eh.. the most I’ve given my plants so far for doses was 1.5ml micro 1.75ml grow and 1.25ml of bloom in a 4 liter jug , I did a double feeding back to back like that, like I fed and waited for to dry out and mixed up I think 1ml of each on the 2nd run, and now I been slow flushing the nutes through the medium for the last week the last couple feedings been straight PHed distilled water
