Hey all, havnt been on in a while..
Im growing about 9 plants in a 4x4 tray, hydro ebb n flow with hydroton round pellets...
i originally had the 9 plants in the tray with just hydroton in the pots they were in... but then roots started to come out so i filled the whole 4x4 with hydroton.. and ever since i did that they dont take in the nutes the same way.
im guessing with the ebb n flow, that once the tray fills that all of the hydroton soak up the nutes and its an overload for the plants.
another problem is a couple of the plants are actually thriving with that method, and a few are not.. so it will be hard to find a happy medium.
anyways, i didnt want to take a picture myself cuz im paranoid but heres a link to a picture of nute burn that is nearly identical to quite a bit of the leaves on a few of my plants:

how long should i flush and run just water (pH'd correctly) through the ebb n flow system i have? about 3 days? or is that too long? hmmmm.
well im 4 weeks into flowering and have about 5 weeks left.
thanks for the help in advance
