I keep the ppms at about 1100 during the first two weeks of bloom. Then go up to about 1400. I've grown this cycle several times with no problem. Could it be salt buildup in my buckets? I change the water every ten days but there is always a residue in the buckets. I have no idea!!!! Thanks in advance for any help!!

I might be far reaching here, but I had a tomato plant once upon a time. I sprayed it pretty heavily with a foliar solution and it pooled up and burned my plant. It is pretty hard to tell from the pic, but it was similar.

Boron deficiency comes to mind when I see those pictures, possibly copper or another micro def.. Do you mix your micro in the water well before adding the other nutes?

Yes. I put the micro in first and mix it very well. I've changed out all the ferts today and they are all at 1200ppm. Hopefully that will fix it?!? I also used brand new buckets and hydroton. If anybody can think of anything else please comment. Thank you very much. ! Ps. Thanks green surfer!!!

someone correct me if i am wrong but 1200ppm @ 2-3 weeks into flower is a bit high. i usually start with 750 and go to 1200 for the last 2 weeks
what was your ppm before the problem? if new growth is looking good then youre fine

Wow some ppl just don't even fucking read and should rather say nothing at all ^^^ (not you scarhole talkin bout dude on pg1)

Is it happening to all of them? How do the roots look? Nice and white? Do u have a 30x mag. Or jewlers loupe? Look closely for mold or bugs. It does look very strange. Like there rotting or something.

Also kinda looks like stress from light leaks at night, the way leaves are twisting like that

It could also be the strain, My cronic has been very hard to please with nutes.(yellow leafs down low, Lil bit of burn in the middle and yellow on the tops like yours)

But the sharks breath is the same age an has been very easy to keep picture perfect.

Some times they just don't want to cooperate....
