Any recommendations on slowing vegetative growth? I have plants on a 9 week cycle and the ones in Veg. look like they will outgrow their closet. Currently using a 90 Watt LED UFO for Veg. only. I was thinking either: a) Reducing light to 16 hours on and 8 hours off or... b)...

growing in hydroton

PH is under 6.0. I've rechecked the manufacturer's instructions and I'm definitely using 1/8th strength. Not sure on the PPM because yesterday I flushed the system and replaced my Botanicare nutrients with some Fox Farms that I had.

No, I've not tried flushing. It is my understanding that flushing is something you do when growing in soil. I am growing with hydroponics. I do change the water and nutrients every 2 weeks.

I think my plants are over fertilized. I'm using Botanicare products in my deep water culture system at 1/8th strength and still my leaves get this burnt look. I keep decreasing the strength of the nutrients and they still come out this way. Any ideas?
