Nice! So would you just bringing my ph up a little bit then? So as I get home I’ll look and see what it currently is.
Wind burn/salt build up/mag def?

Guy,
I just wanted to comment on all the different ph numbers being thrown out. This is sort of where art meets science. People develop their own way of doing stuff. Different grow styles like RDWC vs Ebb & Flow, vs coco. All different and then add in different strains and phenos. So learn the concepts, not the numbers and learn to apply it yourself to your own grow. I spoke to a guy who had been growing 5 years and still having newbie problems...because he had become dependent on forum advice and forgot that he was supposed to think for himself. Just a little ramble...

So current update. Looking good in my eyes, but hey I'm new so take it with a grain of salt. I have attached pictures all comments welcomed. Each one has two sets of photos, 1 saying which one it is and a close up. pH is still 5.6, ppm871 or 1.7ec, water temp 73, tent temp is 79, rh is 30%ish. I don't think I mentioned the amount of water but I'm in about 75 gallons total. 35 gallon res with 8, 5 gallon buckets.

I'm so sorry about all the pictures I just figured it was easier to show what they all look like.

That's what I was thinking also! I go even a bit higher 1200 1300 but also have had to back it down a little but I'm a little on the high ph side too, 5.8 6.2 is the highest I'll get it to when flowering.

Guy,
If you choose to raise your nutes as high as teachertom suggests...do so slowly and carefully. I rarely go over 800 ppm.
As a family of plants...cannabis likes and needs magnesium. In plants, it's a core molecule in photosynthesis. So there is a reason why Mg deficiencies occur so often. Marijuana is a Mg hog and some strains are worse then others.
Your leaves are still showing interveinal chlorosis...the fancy horticultural name for that chevron pattern where veins are darker green then the leaf between the veins.
So just be sure your nute regimen has enough Mg.

Thanks man I really appreciate the info! What I had planned was I would wait a week from when I last fed to see where i stood and go from there so Wednesday. I definitely don’t want to be the typical new guy and burn the crap out of my plants. Ha.

Slow Is best if you gonna raise it up, watch them daily and they will tell you if they don't like it, but you'll definitely know if they do!
