what seems to be making this jack herer unhappy?

This jack herer here, was started from seedling *bc seeds*, and been under flowering for about a week now, but it just doesn't seem happy. I am using botanicare line (bloom + hydroplex), with a ph of 5.7 and ppm 850. The lighting in the room for picture taking isnt great, and i know the picture isn't the greatest, but it does have a rich green color. My concern are the leaves. Perhaps it is overwatered?


My only problem with assuming it is over watered, is that it is on a drip line, that is non continuous *(15 min intervals, each hour)*

Let me know guys! Pics attached

I am a bit confused. Before I switched her over, she was on her veg nutes at around 300-400 ppm... Granted, the ph then was 5.9, but how best to proceed while continuing bloom now?

It is a hydroton drip system, with coco-liner on the bottom, and coco topper (to prevent algae growth)

I'd still feed a milder nute and stay with a veg formula until she plainly starts to flower. Is that light green from N deficiency or a photo artifact? cn

I will go ahead and not water for a few days, but is this risky when dealing with hydroton and cocoliner? I am (perhaps noob-ily) worried about the roots getting too dry.

I believe that 400ppm is a bit high for seedlings, it should be between 100 to 250ppm. What are your ppm for bloom?

I'd recommend in between, like watering every 4-6 hours. Let the roots breathe but not go bone-dry. cn

So you would recommend lowering the ppm a bit, and giving a bit more veg nutes, even at the stage?

i would just recommend cutting back on watering and dont worry about ppm and or giving more nutes
i think the main problem is u are doing to much to a plant that doesnt need much at its life stage
sometimes we tend to love our plants to death
