Would flushing with a ton of water and re adding nutrients with "PH up" help at all or would I just be concentrating salts?

Update: still having issues with said plant.... I tried adding veg nutes and the problem is still progressing. About half the leaves are getting the spots on them now ): I took a PH reading and my water is about 7, after I add the nutrients however it drops to around 5. Could this be a PH...

The affected plant it off to the side a little bit, not directly under the light. Okay! Thank you guys so much for the help. I will get some veg nutes immediately and give that a try.

Okay thank you guys for responding. Do you think I should feed them everything I would as if they were vegging should I stick with my "bloom" specific fertilizer since they are flowering?

Update: all of the leaves that started getting the spots are turning yellow/brown and some parts black. Definitely dying but I haven't seen new leaves starting to get the spots yet thankfully. Only seems to be affecting the fan leaves.

hello there. I started flowering 3 plants on February 28th, they had been in veg since January 19th. I started them in 50/50 pro mix and fox farm ocean forest. I have them in 3 gallon containers with a 1000 watt HPS set to 75% power. On Monday I added a "light feeding" of "general organics bio...

Got it, tyvm slyone!!

Gotcha, I have a 1000 watt high pressure sodium so I figured that could be the case. It's already about 21" away from plant tops. I just turned down the ballast to 750 watt and hoping that helps. Thank you all very much for the quick responses. Would it be better to go ahead and trim off that...

No worries man, thank you for the tips though!

Sorry it all kind of looks yellow from the HPS

Hope that picture will suffice? I started from seed in a party cup (unfortunately) in miracle grow seedling mix. Once they rooted I switched from there to a 1 gallon container with about 20% perlite and 80% fox farm ocean forest. I saw some yellowing after putting Into the fox farm but let them...

hey guys! I'm so glad I found this forum full of helpful passionate growers. Anyways, I am just starting to switch my plants over to flowering. I noticed the other day that the top of one of my branches on one plant it yellow and dried to a crisp. It looks as though the other new tops growing in...

Just went and bought a new bulb just in case. Turned in on and it's working beautifully. Thank you again for your help cobnobular.

I also just read that some older HPS bulbs will explode if you try to use a digital ballast on them. I have had my HPS bulb for many years. Maybe 8 or so? Or more possibly. So I have no idea about the model number or anything on it. Do you think I should go get a new bulb in case?

Ohhhhh! I see what I'm looking at now Thank you so much for the quick reply. Looks like the same cord on both. I feel a lot better having that fire hazard unplugged!
