700-1000 ppm is "very" high for plants 5 times that size. Why the botanic care fulvex during veg? This is an admendment for flowering. It is used to tighten and harden buds, This is of course the reason, why your plants are showing pk burn so early in their lives,. Usually we don't see this burn in anything other than buds, and on the leaves sticking out surounding the bud, they usually curl,turn yellow,then look brown. Try not to mix your products so much. Find a manufacturer and stick to it. Mj is variable, one nute manufacturer may have the perfect nute for 1 strain you grow,but another strain may find it to hot. Nutrients are formulated to work with their couterparts, such as, botanicare products with other botanicare products. In otherwords, chemicals used in dutch masters may not jive with chemicals used by botanicare. During veg,I use Botanicare power plant, I use it in soil and hydro. In tandem with this nute I use, botanicare cal-mag, and silica blast, this helps build strong side branching and stems. It builds the core and nutrient conveyor system in the plant. during bloom we use power flower with these same admendments, we add fulvex in the last 3 weeks of bloom to harden and tighten, I tryed bloom blastic and it burned everything up in the last 2 weeks, my mistake? I mixed manufacturers, to correct this? next time,I stuck with botanicare products and used fulvex.

Damn bruh, wut, u want buds 2morrow huh ?...I'm no pro but I know your frying those plants....I have 2 waterfarms going & if my ppm's hit close to 1000 I'm in flower & I'm watching them very closely for the 1st sign of burning. The slightest discoloration on leaf tips & I'm draining & adding fresh water....no time to be waiting for plants to recouperate from 2nd & 3rd degree burns !

& oh, I use distilled water & usually veg 4-6 weeks & ppm's don't get that high till maybe 4th week of flower for maybe 2 or 3 feedings then I drop it down gradually....works for me anyway

250-300 for veg...I start nutes probably midway thru week 3.
450-550 start of flower which usually is about week 6 or 7. From there I just let her tell me wut she wants. If she's running thru 2 gallons pretty quickly & all looks healthy, I bump it up a bit & watch her in take & leaves...I'm usually around 700-800 week 5 of flower as long as she's still looking good & drainng the res @ a good pace....like I said b4, @ this point I MIGHT bump her to 900-1000 if she has been doing well but I don't keep it there....I top with fresh water for the next couple of days, gradually bringing ppm's down & then I drain & add all fresh water which she gulps down then I put her back to about 750-800 for the remainder of flower, topping with fresh water & then all fresh water like every 3 days cuz by now she really drinking !

Hope this helps...I just learned not to rush things or u will burn shyt up ! Have been using only flora nova bloom nutes for my last few grows & have done great along with distilled water.

Empty your res. Refill with water and get your PPM to around 200-300 INCLUDING your tap water PPM. No need for RO or distilled or any other water.
