Is this nute burn?

burnt, empty tank, ph 5.6 flush for a few days, ppm well too high, when refill half nutes and try 2 keep around 500ppm then build back up ;)

I would just say its been over fertilized, leafs curled under is a pretty good sign especially when they are burnt at the tips and sides. PPM 1200 is a lot for 4 week old plants.

Just curious, what nutrients are you using?

Yeah definitely back off a bit. I never find the need to go over 1000ppm, and my plants smell and taste better then when I used full strength nutes. 1200ppm Is about the highest I'd want to go before flushing not for a 4 week plant.
 
+rep to you guys if I knew how. If you tell me I will.

I'm just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a deficiency before I throw them into flower. Your'e right about it being ebb and flow though.

Here are some other pics. Serapis, think it could be a calcium nute lock out due to excess of magnesium or iron?

I use heavy16's as a base and follow their advance feed schedule (http://www.heavy16.com/products.html) exactly when it comes to additives. My ppms won't get as high during flowering tho. Before someone says "you don't need all that crap for a great harvest, your'e throwing money down the drain, blah blah, blah", I understand what your saying. I'm just trying to push the genetics to their absolute limit just to see what they are, so please, don't lecture me about it haha.PICT0367.jpgPICT0368.jpg

I understand the desire to push plants to their limits, we wouldnt have dank ass bud today if we didnt! I use advanced nutrients 3 part with a little snow storm ultra, bush master, and super thrive when needed. I personally havent found much of a reason to buy these companies 12pt solution but to each their own.

the leaf fringes have obvious signs of deficiency however i may be mistaken but leaf curling usually doesnt go hand in hand with calcium deff. If your humidity is nearly 100% or you foliar feed frequently *daily* this may be the problem but i doubt it. If anything it looks more like a Potassium deff as it shows multiple signs but overall with the nutrient solution soo high the plant is bound to show signs and make it easy to misdiagnose.

I have seen some of these companies feeding schedules and i urge you to take them with a grain of salt. I also hope that you are using your nutrient's company's conversion rate of probably 700:1 as most are.

lowered the ppms by 200 and it seemed to correct it. So either solely nute burn or that with a combination of lock out of calcium due to excessive magnesium or iron.
