Leaves curling down and inwards

I run exactly the same as you with coco and rocks for drainage... 1 minute per day is perfect for me!!! 1000 isnt nessessarilly too high for your plants, If the tips of your leaves arent yellowing then its not too high for them :-) I use DM GOLD and with mine at the stage you are now i would be at around 1200-1300 ppm. With DM GOLD i go up to as high as 1600 during flowering. Where as the normal DM i can only go as high as 1200 at the best before they start to burn.

Yeah you can do that if the leaves perk back up. This is the problem I see right now. Your plants don’t look to healthy so if you put them into flowering it isn’t going to make much of a difference. They are going to still have to recover from the shock they are in now. My advice is to not water for the next couple of days and then repost pictures so we can see again. I still think over feeding. 1000 is high for the plants that small I usually stay at about 600 800 most. The young plants thrive then and grow out of control. 1000 after there over about a foot tall or bushy as hell to hand the extra nurturance.

As i said it depends on the type of nutes one uses as to what level the ppm should be at... the best way is by simply reading the plant. But yes i agree dont water for at least 2 days... let the coco dry right out!

so basically leave them without feeding for a few days, the temp peaking at 35 is okay, and im giving them 18 hrs light and 6 dark is this the way to go

I see what you are saying man… But it all factors at what the plant its self can handle. I have used DM gold and almost killed my plants after pitting them over 500 ppm. In fact I stopped using dm because of that. I use all Technaflora now. The only way to truly know what your plants will handle is to experiment. Once you get it down then you write it down and follow it every grow. To put it in perspective my 4 foot plants are at 2200 ppm right now and I never knew they could go that high. So it is always safe to start low and work your way up .

Yeh exactly... as i said, let the plants tell you how much nutes they need. But by the looks of it his plants are fine the tips arent burnt so all good :-)
