Is it nutrient burn or a nutrient deficiency?

Honestly I'm thinking your issues were more related to your roots, that was why I asked for root pics but in saying that I keep things at around 1.2 EC, even though I could push it way higher, it stays more stable. Good luck, keep updating please.
Thought you ran your starts a lot lower tbh :-)

When they get to his size I'm pretty much up to 1.2. I've started to push them a bit higher just from things I've read here. I start seedlings at .3 ish. I only veg for 3 weeks typically so they get up there quick. Totally revamping the grow to, I think drain to waste 5 gallon square pails but still looking at RDWC. I'm very conflicted lol.

Could I just pull the new growth through and trim the lower growth or would it be detrimental not to change the scrog material. Theoretically since they were demanded seeds and not autoflowering strains, can I just keep vegging till they are nice and big?

I have 5 inch square trellis netting. I've was told the holes were too large. Just dreading undoing all the little twist ties holding the new canopy down and then removing the screen. Guess I'll just have to cut it off.

How are the roots looking? As I stated, before I got the temps down, for the most part, My yields were ok, and pretty good in the real cool months (by cool I mean -20c lol). The reason was, I was able to keep the room cool and the res's even cooler being on the floor. When I was able to regulate the res I was able to increase canopy temps without effecting root zone and the girls took off, also DO went up as well. In saying all that they do look good.

Here are a few pictures of the roots Budly. Stopped running my filter on my fan and temps have been good again. Root temps stayabout 68 again and the room is average 75.

Just a suggestion and it may not be relevant but IME the white totes let lots of light through and again in my experience roots hate even diffused light so just to remove any doubt I either paint or cover anything that could leak light into the root zone

Shit my bad I totally meant to say lollipopping. I fucking hate that scrog material. I have a chance to get the hookup on some dwc buckets and a 1500w fullspectrum light. I might just ditch the whole scrog. I may hang the other new light also and just put the 8 healthiest ones in dwc buckets and just let em have the whole damn 8x8 tent and they can go crazy if they want to. Here is a recent canopy pic.20171104_104848.jpg

Training is such a bind, i prefer small quick flowered plants with shorter veg time. If you want larger yeilds just grow more of them :-)
