. whats your ph? whats your nute ratio? It looks to be overferted but could be a nute lock or ph issues. I need better info to help you better. How old is that plant?

I like those industrial strength tie downs you have for that little plant. :YaRight: Lmao. You guys crack me up. What exactly are you adding out of the bottles to feed them? Do you know ph?

Ph should be at 5.8. Dont you need some micro? The trace elements are in the micro.

What does that bottle of sweet contain? sproutco?
 
well there you go a no-brainer. But if your new its understandable. YOu need your Micros or bad things will occur without them. GH flora series is a three part system. If your trying the Lucas Formula you need Micros and the bloom, no grow.

yes its true i am a noob what do you think i should use as my formula for this? i will go get that bottle of micro tomorrow. what exactly is micro? compared to the other nutes?
 
the GH nutes you are using are a 3 part system. The micros include all your micronutes and trace elements that is needed for growing. I would suggest using all three parts and follow the schedule they give. THen see how the plants like it and tweak it to your specific strain needs. It takes a while to figure out, its been a year and Im am just figuring out when things are needed and not needed. But the basic formula that GH gives will work. Here is a link to a feeding schedule. Dont be shy to ask questions at your hydro dealer, and do lots of research and dont take advice lightly, there is a huge resource of info on the net. http://www.genhydro.com/genhydro_US/pdf_ghss/fs_ss.pdf

This was probably a calcium deficiency among other things. Adding sweet containing just magnesium is not wise. The flora formulas require no added mg so the ratios get off. This causes a potassium or calcium def. Since you have no calcium which is in the micro, the sweet intensified the problem.

This is 1/3 strength:
ml per gallon of water
5 grow, 3.33 micro, 1.67 bloom

Once plants get larger, double that. You don't need full strength for happy plants. Don't add sweet. Adjust fert water ph to about 5.8-6

is the hood aircooled? also using string with plants you have to be carefull...they will grow into the string if to tight to long...I use thin wire and tie mine down even that early....just a suggestion but keep the string loose around the stems to make sure not to choke it..best of luck
