Actually need more information; but I will say 200 will not burn them, you will need to increase it to around 500 ppm, you should always go by the size of the plant when determining how to feed.
I need more information though; can you fill this out? I will tell you what you need to do, but first I need you to ask these questions so I can give you a proper answer as I am not the grower so I do not know what routes you have taken or what you have not tryed.

What is your RH Factor(Relative Humidity)?
What is the canopy temperature?
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include flucutaion range)
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water?
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched

Not sure on the brand I will have to check, mostly there should be calbration fluid for each part of the mter, but will double check on yours......
Normally you are supposed to wait a while before sticking them in the system like that; you have to let them have a little root system established first before sticking them in there; but 200 ppms is not enough increase the ppms,
Next time wait till they are bigger before sticking them in there...... cause a lot of times they just don't like the system, there root system is very delicate and can show many problems.....
try increasing it to 300-400 range for now.
Also those water temps have GOT TO GET LOWER, even though they are smaller, you got food in there so you have to keep them below 70, or try to keep it right at 70, smaller plants don't like the too cold temps which is another problem not to put them in too early, warm temps will cause root rot....
When they get bigger 68 F,
is he 300 ppm including the tap water ppm?
When I gave my estimate that is not incuding the tap water, so the ppm would be around 440-540 range

You can do it a few different ways, one way is to alternate 2 liter bottles or 3 liter bottles. Have them,filled up with water and put them in the freezer, take one or 2 out of the freezer sticking them in there and after they thaw, put them back in the freezer and get the others out so you have constant temp control.
Do you have a res or are you just using buckets??
Ok, you need to raise the ppms a bit, are you using any pH down or anything like that?

yeah Im gonna try the 2 liter bottles. I have a 13gal res. I drained all my buckets this morning put some nice fresh water in there got my ppms up to 330 not including the tap ppm which is 170 so its a total of 500ppm do you think should get it higher than 330? The only reason I am keeping it that low is cause of what looks like slight tip burn (picture 1)
Yes I am using ph down

For now keep it where it is at, you don't want to add to much yet, start slowly and slowly increase.... I would use around 3 2 liter bottles at first, you want to put them in there right away;l caused if the temps are warm those bottles won't last long the first time you put them in there........ when you get them at the desired temp, they will last a little longer.
