No pics sorry.

Have a 3 foot plant in a 5 gallon bucket. Watering with 6.7 water when top of soil gets dry. Feed full strength nutes ever third watering. FFOF soil. I have to pick off about 15 leaves every time I water. The leaves are drying out way too fast. What could be the problem? Thanks

its more likely root burn.. flush it out and then just feed with plain water.

You're likely feeding it too much, or at too high of a dose. Decrease one of those by half and you'll likely see some improvement. If it still happens, decrease by half again. I know many people who get very excellent results out of 1/4 recommended strength. I, myself, just listen to the plants and play it by ear.

It seems feeding full strength every third would be plenty safe, doesn't seem to make sense, I know if the soil though is well prepared with nitrogen none of your leaves end up turning yellow.
