Hi RIU,
I have a 2 1/2 week old plant that is either showing signs of nute burn or some kind of defeciency hoping you can help a fellow grower out. Thank you and I will rep all answer.
You can see in these pictures taken yesterday that the leaves look a little burnt or defecient. Two bottoms leafs are getting bad were you can basically break the bottom leafs, they seem to crumble. Now the plants get all yellow. I just switched to advanced nutrients. My ppms were at 600 but now I put it down to aroung 400. Room temp is at around 79-84. Ph-5.5-5.9. Any help would be great thank you.

If you get nute burn will the plant basically stop its growth including the roots?? Beacuase I check my plant today and the plant is still growing and the roots are growing nicely. I dont know I need help I dont know if I should up the nutes or back off the nutes.

Yes, I made sure my ph meter was calibrated yesterday. When I checked m meter it was only off .1 which isnt really to much. It seems like my plant started to show yellowing after I changed them to advanced nutrients. Since its like almost 3 weeks in I didn't know were to start from on the advanced nutrients. Seems like the botaniacre pro bled was way easier to use than advanved nutrients but I'll adjust.

That second pic is no good. If the color of your first pic is showing on my monitor correct, it just looks like N deficiency.

Hey maybe it is an N defeciency I thought that the ppms were kind of high but maybe Im wrong cuz Advanced Nutrient says I should be at 800 ppms. Thank you mindphuck +rep. Anyone else.

Post nutrient solution label. You should use something like N-P-K = 30-10-10 for vegetative stage. Are you using air-pump with air-stone? I would suggest! For 2 1/2 week old plant 500ppm should be max in my opinion...

If your pH is OK then its too much nutrients or salts are dense in root medium. Flush with pH 5.5 water and make new nutrient solution with 400ppm from nutrient with 30-20-20 proportions (with microelements)

Thanks for the info. It seems like when I changed back to Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow my plant has been doing alot better.
