yo just started some an there about 2 weeks old still sprouts im sure only starting 2nd node. using distilled with 398 PPM nutes in rez ph at 5.8-5.9.

getting some browning on the leaves. is that too early to add nutes should i go back to just R.O. water at 5.8-5.9 PH an see if its better?

using Floros 3rd grow here. dont wanna post pics. main question is this to early for nutes could this be causing a nute burn at such a young age?..

thanks

if need be will post pics.

its power skunk, purple power, and super glue strains. in DWC

yeah, no nutes yet. The plant has enough energy stored up untill about the 3rd week to not need any nutes. If any thing at all, I would cut back on them about 1/2 what your doing now.

Also, if you have a pic. that would help alot in figuring this out.

"Seedlings should be around 50-150 PPM".... just read up on it but Atrumblood thanks you are right man.


the ppm is now at 198 to 199 and ph at 5.6 to 5.9 meter bounces around.

almost 400 is way to high from what i read on a sick plant forum that mynamestich put up on ICMAG.

rep for you man.. im 90% positive this is the problem. i know 200 ppm is kinda high still but they should pull through.

ya ppm at 200 an shit gettin worse gatta dump that R O an do 0 PPM for a few days hope shit gets better.

could be strains but dunno. 2 strains the same are effected pretty good by it an other arent even really a concern bout the minor leaf damage an i mean minor.

Question off topic of thread title.

how much does minor nute burn effect the plants?

Are the strains ruined, should i start over with new seeds cause the strains are weakend now?

just want this shit strong dank as hell an if this has crapped em up id like to just soil these an do a new hydro.

thanks guys.

they'll be fine. it would only be a problem if it happened much later in its life. and it wouldn't affect the potency anyways, just maybe cause it grow hermie.
