sexing plants but not what you think

[skotty]

i have a question for you seasoned growers among us

every grow that i have done i have a major issue around the time that plants show sex

when my plants are in veg they are looking fantastic and im dialled right into what they want in terms of ec and ph however when they are due to show me sex the plants go all sensitive on me and i always get slight nute burn on the tips of my leaves, my ec and ph stay the same as it always has but why do they do this to me???

is the sexing period for plants a sensitive time and is their anyway i can avoid this ??

this might sound sad but i wanna grow the most green lushious looking plants all the way through their cycle but this catchs me out everytime, they always recover after a week of the transtion phase from veg to flower and carry on their routine but its just this 1 week period that gets me everytime

i grow in hydro using dwc so if you growers have any ideas it would be helpfull

is it something all us hydro growers experience and i shouldnt worry about or is their something im not doing that i should be during this phase of the growth cycle ??

im begining to think that i should give them just a very weak nute soloution for a week when i think they are gonna show sex and try and make the switch over period as less painfull as possible

all advice welcome

peace

Like that?Pisses me of to.I get it every grow.Everything I read wastelling me nute burn..I lowered my nutes no change..I came across a thread here somewhere ,wish I remembered now ,but anyhow it stated its a deficiancy of somthing.I should have saved that one .Hopefully some one will jump in Ive been looking at it for 3 years.

yeah ive never took pictures of my plants to show this phenomonon but basically its purley in the transition from veg to flower and then im stuck with it for the rest of the grow

its not like im on the path for perfection or anything or trying to become a master in the arts of dwc lol

if its something all us hydro growers experience then ill just roll with it but to me it deffo looks like nute burn and if i can eliminate it then i would

this is my plant 3 weeks in veg and currently making the switch from veg to flower and i get it every grow at this stage my ph is 5.8 and ec .6 for the past 2 weeks, i didnt even get the clawed leaf look either which is always a dead giveaway as to overfeeding
