A little help with an issue I'm having, please?

20151206_100231.jpg Hey guys,
I've been growing for a few decades now and have run into what I think is a nutrient problem after changing to a single part nute.
I've been using Dutch fest coco for some time and had great results but I got sick of using 2 bottles every time. So i decided to try a new brand called Green dream by flairform. I've used it before on outdoor crops with no issues but using for indoor (hempy) I seem to be having some major issues. I use in it conjunction with Cyco's silica and ryzofuel and have used the Cyco range with the dutch fest with no issues.
Can anyone identify what the issue is here? My pH is 6.0 and temps are between 28 and 30 degrees celcius which, while on the high side, it hasn't affected my girls before...

stick with what you know works. make no changes.
That's the way I'm heading mate, it may also be because of the LED I'm using for the first time, just read that plants need more cal mag when growing with them. Need to dial in the light i think! Cheers for the reply mate :)

pretty unlikely a plant that small is root bound. with such dark green leaves it looks like overfert, but if a previous method worked fine, that is what should be used.

Looks like what happens when theyre root bound or dry out too much where the leaves die a bit. Has it dried out badly?
Nah mate, if anything they haven't dried out enough. They havent been overwatered but havent been fully dry before watering again.
I think @polishpollack is on the money, back to what I know instead of being a cheapass ha ha.

Ya maybe. If you werent having issues with outdoor with it it cant be that bad. Maybe you just fed too hard. Dark green on top, crispy lower tips? Maybe? Just another thought i had for ya.

I was thinking the same, I thought I had overfed, but i had only fed at half strength so it had me puzzled, hence the thread. I dunno mate, after 20 odd years of growing, it's got me puzzled. I'm thinking the best option is to go back to the old way I have done it. The obly 2 different factors is the LED light and the new nutrients. I'll start with the nutes and see how I go, i think!

Theyre pretty small for half strength id say. Id do 1/8 strength but thats just me. I never "push" plants though.

I haven't had any issues in the past at this size, I was thinking they needed more, rather than less...i do push mine pretty hard though..
