The center of the new leaves dont look good - yellow and kind of wrinkled looking. I'm seeing some of the tips looking like they are curling/dying too.
This just happened in the 3-4 days after I transplanted these from the bubbler (where they were started from seed, it's white widow from weedfarmer) into a drip system which I threw together myself. They are in 5" net pots with hydroton. They are still growing fast but the new leaves dont look right.
I'm feeding FoxFarm Grow Big Hydroponic and Sweet and have been careful not to burn them (I thought), my crappy EC meter shows about 650-700 ppm. I started them on a relly light nutrient solution of the same when they were pretty little - about 2 weeks old but kept the ppm at 300-400 until they outgrew the little bubbler/2" net pot setup. It was only after I transplanted them, about 5 days ago, that I upped the solution to 700 ppm.
pH was fluctuating pretty badly in the first few days in the new setup - between 5.8 and 7 but has now leveled off at about 6.5.
The roots look great, big and healthy, growing really fast. I think it's time to prune but I dont want to do that until I get this solved.
Also, they dont all seem to have the issue - some really look fine while others seem to be sick.
They are under a new wave T-5 48 (8 - 4' 54watt cfls)
I have looked at the troubleshooting guides in both my grow bible and on this site and on cannabis.com and the only thing I see that describes this problem is a 'S' deficiency so I bought some epsom salts but havent tried to add them yet.
The more I read, though, the more I think I may have burned them. I'm just not sure, so here are some pics... Any advise from experienced growers would be much appreciated.
