Nute problem about 4 weeks into flowering

I have a nutrient problem and I want to see what you guys think. This is my first grow and I am using the technaflora mixture. I have been using the recommended amounts. My temp is good but I have been having some small humidity problems. The plants still look amazing.

Let me just clarify ... are these the recommended dosages as per the bottle?? If so that may be where your problem lies. I start EVERY new nutrient feeding I`d be unfamiliar with a 1/4 strength of the recommended dosage. Remember less is more in the first couple weeks of flower.

Do you have anything to get a PPM reading on your feedings as that would also give me a better idea, but that is nute burn for sure unless those leaveshave come into contact with the light at some point. Get some more info up and I`d be glad to help mate. Happy growing

**EDIT - would recommend a 3-4 day flush my friend in the meantime and resume your schedule for week 5 at 3/4 strength, you should see MUCH improvement ;-) **

I replaced the reservoir last night and I went about 3/4 on the nute dosages but did not flush it. I am not using the recommended per bottle dosage, I am using the PDF sheet that technaflora had on their web site. Here is the link to the mixing chart. I dont have a PPM meter but I will be sure to get one soon. No leaves are coming in contact with the light. For the most part the problem is only on the lower fan leaves.
 
Give that schedule a couple days and get your humidity to a level no higher than 50% if possible. I got a dehumidifier on sale for $70 bucks that I`ve have automatically switch on when humidity in my room spikes over 55% otherwise runs 10 on -50 off all day. Get back to me afterwards, we`ll see if the plants adjust accordingly, I`ll stay tuned, feel free to P.M as well

I never go by the recomended dosage by the manufacturer, I always go by measuring the ppm's of my nutes, when I first started I used recomnded dosage and found it to be over 1500 ppm's way too high, I burned my plants the first grow then bought a ppm meter, that's the best and safest way to go.

There is a VERY informative post on here somewhere I can track down for a link currently, that states that NO ONE SHOULD EVER START A GROW WITHOUT A PPM METER AND PH METER. Go get yourself a meter my friend and remember that you can clear the bottom 1/3rd of the plant anyways. Better plant airflow anyways. Get a read, maybe some pruning, let us know how it goes
