hi all, if u recognise this for sure please give us a nod and set me straight will ya? my experience tells me its nute burn, but i find it hard 2 believe as i have only bin giving plant start nutes and they were already 9" tall as clones.

they were put into rockwool cubes presoaked wit formulex plant start. then 6 days later they were foliar fed with formulex. about a week ago i foliar sprayed with HALO and jus give water. as of last couple of days the leaves at bottom of three cheeses have twisted and contorted pointing up /down and turned brown at tips then spread over leaf gradually, wasnt bothrerd at first now im worried :(. should i flush or is it under nutes as they were also switched to 12/12 a week ago and havent recieved any bloom nutes yet. if you look carefully u can see the yellowing of the bottom leaves also, which i belive indicates lack of nutes ne 1 wit a clue let us know wat u think thanks!

It's N def, and P def, and K def. The general yellowing = N def. The brown, raised edges = K def. The brown curled up tips = P def.

First thing you need to do is check your pH, for soilles mediums it should be 5-6.

If the pH is normal, then your nutes arn't worth much or you're not ading enough.

that wud make sense as i havent given any decent nutes yet , just the plant start. i switchd to 12/12 a week ago and havent given any flowering nutes, i jus didnt want to make an over fert prob worse by adding more, but if u say its nute def and i do see the sense in wat u say, then i will add some full strength nutes tomorrow. i think if nute def is the prob, that adding the halo to boost plants photosynthesis rates doubled wit lack of nutes really aint complimented eachother! thanks for help i take it u sure thats the prob dr or u wudnt have said right?

Yup, I'm sure.

Don't give it full strength all at once. try 1/2 strength first, see if she can handle it nicely, and then raise the concentration.
