What system are you running? (DWC? Ebb flow? Aero? Water Farm? Flood Tables? and so on...).....It will be ebb and flow. I was trying to fix my problem before I started it up. Right now i am hand watering in a 60/40 hydroton/coco mix. They're in 3in(I think) square pots

I don't use all the stuff every time either. Usually it has just been the base nutes plus some Magical...because I thought that was the problem.
What is the TDS/EC/PPM you are using?....Started at 250 then 350, 450, 600. I did just give them a ppm of 730 2 nights ago..so I could know for sure if they were under fed or not. I think that it burnt them a bit on the new growth(but I'm not sure at all. I did it because I was waiting for my approval from the mods.
What is the pH of the "Tank"?....was 5.6, but then I saw the prob and raised it to 6.0-6.2

Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched....I pruned the bottom 2 sets of leavse on all but a couple of the plants because they were yellow and dead I have a couple of pics of them. I can post if I need to). However the rest will probably be taken off tonight
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so, What and When?...NO!!!
Are plant's infected with pest's...No



Whew..that took a while to fill out! I have a few more pics in my gallery, plus a few of the grow room. I'm pretty sure some of the damage is from nute burn, but not all of it. It seemed to start at the tips and work its way around the leaf edges. Then the leaf begins to look blotchy, and it eventually turns yellow from the tip upwards. Then dead patches spread from the "burnt" looking edges. I am more than happy to give any additional info...Anything to cure my babies. Thanks so much for any help















This one shot real tall..probably a male

Humbolt friend sent it my way :rasta: Also got some NL, Black Kush, Black Light, and PPP.

I think I had allready fixed my issue....it was just taking a bit of time to recover. I started up my ebb and flow last night, and was very sad. I had leaks on both fittings, and my pully system made the table almost spill over.

Have the tips and edges been burned for awhile? Like in Pic 3? That looks like nute burn.
Could have happened awhile back? Reason why I suggest this is because those leaves won't recover. The pics where the leaves have uniformly yellowed is N def. So if the tips have been burned awhile and now these yellow leaves are coming on...I would say feed more. If what I described is the case. At any rate ....get those plants in bigger pots man. By the way they look like 6inch pots to me.

Yes its been a couple of weeks. I bumped up the ppm for a feed and it burnt the tips on some of the newest growth. I know that leaves won't recover...but do they continue to get worse? They don't get uniformly yellow either. It starts at the tips...spreads to the margins then the leaf yellow from the tip upwards. Pic number 8 shows the intermediate stage of sickness. I put them into larger pots the other night. I'll post some new pics in a few days and see what you guys think. Thanks for the advice so far!
