( pics) please look having a problem

Your plants are locking nutes due to a too high nutes solution, you need to flush with 0ppm water.

how would i do that??? just phed water no nutes course and poor throw??

Pour water with a 5.8ish ph through the pots. Normally 2 or 3 times the volume of the pots is enough, so if your pot is 1 ltr pour through 2 or 3 ltrs.

thnks a lot dude,,, have u seen/hade this problem befor????

Salts buildup ....too low ph... too high ph = nute lockout.....too high of a nute solution = nute burn......anyway how can a statement like that be made without even knowing what nutrients or what % he is using??????? a little more info is needed to make an acurate diagnosis.....Oh and 600 ppm is not to high.....

,,, iv now change and washed out the reservoir ,,,, iv moved the light to 3feet+ was getting hot on the plants,,,

I then phed the water but didn't add any nutes in it,, my tap water come at 280ppm ,,, i used fish take de- chlorinate .. ,,,


Any more help would be useful ,,, thanks a lot everyone

600ppm is too high for a lot of smaller plants abd if you look at the picture properly you will see some very small plants. Also, spots on leaves are indicative of mobile nutrients becoming locked due to high concentrations of imobile nutrients in the surrounding tissue his ph is 5.8 which is perfectly fine so is not the cause. I rest my case...

#im not sure i use a ppm reader and add a bit till get to were i want the ppm,,,

#just seen another of my plants start to turn the same way hope i see some improvement in the morning,,

# thanks for the help ,, keep thorts coming in,,, Thnks

So enlighten me as to how you know he has high consentrations of imobile nutrients?????you must be the smartest person in the world to be able to glance at a couple pics and diagnose all these problems without any info whatsoever ....I think you are full of shit ....and since he just stated he's using tap water , chlorimine could be the problem [you may have to look this up] ...like I said more ifo need ......

Hey joejoe......Are you using city water??????????

What strain is that in the photos?

no,, i live in a small town,, i used fish tank drops to take out the chlorine,,


More of the plants are now showing the same problems,,,

#im still using phed water without nutes ,, at 0.4ec / 280ppm

# the first plant has started curling upward at the big leafs tips,,, not the smaller leafs on it,,,

#Thanks for the help so far keep the ideas coming,,

(up to date pics coming soon, )

Big bud strain,,

because leaf spotting is an indication of this moron... again i find myslef trying to help someone and all i get is a prick arguing the point. Rather than trying to help. The guy gave his ppm his ph and some reasonable pics what more do YOU need to make a diagnosis????

so whats the verdict ? ,,

any more ideas on what i should try and do???
