Indoor/SFV OG tacoed leaves help!

[Mtp24]

Can anyone please help, I've got 200 SFV OG ladies and they are doing something funky. I will try and go over my regiment and give all the details. Brand-new to this site.

Strain- sfv OG
Medium- pro mix soil
Light- 1000 hps 4 ft above canopy (will lower lights when plants are older. Only using 6 of 20 lights right now
Nutes- cutting edge solutions micro/grow (accidentally added both micro and grow to a 100 gal res for their first nute feeding at 1/2 recommended amount. Did not mix concentrates together before adding to res but added each concentrate separately. I thought this may have caused some burn so I flushed after seeing tacoeing on leaves and twisted new growth. Just fed with straight micro 3ml/gal. Today is day 10 from transplanting clones into 1 gal pots.
Temp- 70' F
Humidity- 65
I don't have soil ph tester. Any advice people?

Immediate observation after looking at the pic is overfeeding and/or pH problem. I know nothing about CES nutes so I can't weigh in there. You said you don't have a soil pH tester, but should have no bearing on the liquid pH testing you should be doing when you mix up your nutes. So... what is the pH you are mixing up? The only other thing I can say is you might should pick up a cheap EC meter so you can be sure you aren't overfeeding.

Thanks hush. I'm working on getting a soil tester out to where I am which is out in the sticks... Have u experienced leaf tacoeing or curling. I was looking thru ur stacked kush link and saw a user named 70watt and saw his pics. My ladies were doing the same type of thing

So, are you testing the pH of your nutrient after you mix it up? If so, what's the pH? If not, well, that might be part of the problem. A soil tester wouldn't be anywhere near as important as a liquid pH tester. You can always test the pH of your soil runoff with it, and still not need an actual soil tester.

Right now I am not currently testing my res. I'm using a reliable well that has supplied many crops. And I was told I wouldn't need to adjust ph. I am managing the property

Hey hush, if I had a high soil ph and I used straight water for 2 feelings before returning to nutes and my res had correct ph after mixing in nutes would this cure my prob assuming it is salt build up in my soil?

That's a safe assumption, but not a guarantee. It can't hurt though (unless your plants are currently being underfed and are actually just dealing with a pH problem).

You should always check and adjust pH when mixing up nutes. You never can be too sure. I'm not sure why people think pH doesn't need to be checked. Not trying to pick on you, because there are many people who share that mentality. But when you look at a pH lockout chart it becomes obvious how important pH is to all plants. The only time pH checks aren't necessary would probably be if growing outdoors, in the ground. Reason being, you are growing in the huge ground, not a small container.

True. I've done indoor gardens in the past and always adjusted ph but I'm just following someone else's recipe. Never used these nutes either or used clones so...just trying to get some feedback from someone more knowledgeable than myself

The best advice I can give you is to avoid unknowns wherever possible. That means actually testing the pH of your water so you know where you are starting from. Then, adjusting the pH of your nute solution after mixing. Then, testing the EC of your solution. Good luck to you! This isn't difficult, but it does require some fine tuning of processes.
