I just noticed a couple brown spots on a couple leaves and the tips are burning.my ppm is 650 so im just wondering if thats to high or what is the best to keep her at? im using gh flora nutes grow,micro,and bloom.I just checked my ph and its high its at 8.6 but its been around there this whole time with no problems as gh nutes have ph buffers and everytime I lower the ph I seem to have problems.Im just wondering if she needs a higher ppm(more nutes) or to lower it? I noticed some of her stems are reddish-purple also so is she locked or out in need of more micro nutes? Im new to hydro but i know in soil that she has a def more than likely for micro nutes.

the ph is really high you should really think of lowering it..i know especially in hydro it does affect the plants...are u using purified water or at least filtered??

sounds good i would also invest in some ph down or i heard lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid can also lower levels..just a thought

I have ph down.the real stuff but I always have problems whenever i lower my ph for some reason.gh nutes has ph buffers in it to keep from locking your plants up.
