Glanced at pics. I agree with that. Way high for medium and size. ouch.
Ya, like triple what it should be huh?

Mad flush and low PPM bit higher ph.
Ya, should be up to 6.3 or 6.5? I grow in soil, but only hydro should go under 6, right?

I row in soil/coco. Hydro is just un needed expense and accuracy. LOL. Depending on your mix and add ons a range between 6.2 and 6.6 until flower. Then 6.4 - 7.0. Optimizes nute uptake to growth stage. Always bounce within the ranges. A varied diet is beneficial to all.
I would also suggest backing the lights on time back a half an hour. Plants heal at night. Like everything else.
Best wishes. just my findings. hope they help.

He's in coco . Ph should be bout 5.8- 6 in veg and 6.2 flower
There is air movement, but not wind burn, lol.
5.8 for coco is def not too low.
I'm surprised that people are saying too high ppm, but that is the only thing it could be at this point. I have a friend doing coco in smart pots flood and drain and he does 1400 ppm with Cutting Edge nutes right from the beginning in veg and his plants are great.
I'll try lowering my ppm to about 600 ppm and see if that makes a diff.
One other thing, my water is pretty cold, like 58 degrees F. Would that cause any issues?

better is handwarm, 20°C is ok, 25°C is better; Temps equate metabolism to a certain degree... as in winter, there IS still light, yet plants refuse to grow, because of that cold.

New growths comes out in yellow --> N tox. I'd flush next irrigation thoroughly and replace whatever is within the medium with a 1.0 EC veg formulae nute pH 5.8

+ repot if you feel like you have the time to do so...

I'd also say pot up aswell , should be a canny root system there
Definitely over nuted. They were not overwaterd, but since the plant stopped drinking because the nutes were too much the root zone stayed too wet. Roots were a bit brown but not slimy, I don't think rot has set is yet.
Should I give them a flush with plain ph'd water? I heard in some context that you need to add some nutes for some reason.

Na mate . Feed with light ec or ppm . Which ever you go by . Me personally would just start feeding lower ec ,
Wouldn't flush like 3x pot size .
Just lower ya feed and keep an eye on ya inflow ph . Are you in veg or flower .

Just wanted to follow up on this. Found out the horrific news that I have an infestation of russet mites. Really nasty stuff, very hard to get rid of and they do significant damage. The recommendation is to destroy that plants and reset. This really sucks because I had 4 strains that I nurtured from seed since late summer and had high hopes that the flowers would be winners.
