This morning I did my usual testing pH and ppm measurements and adjusted pH down (as I have had to do since day 1). No biggie. Most days I seem to bring it down from 6.3 or 6.4 to 5.4 or 5.5. I am 3 weeks into flower and things were coming along and actually growing too tall (which you guys helped me fix). The 1st 2 weeks of flowering were pretty great to my eye with very few issues.
This morning I woke up and some of the leaves had bad burns. It is not from the light since they are middle/upper leaves - not tops (also no problems on lower leaves). The tops still look good with little buds starting to appear.
Each morning when I check the ppm, it is higher than the night before so based on my research here I believe that they are drinking more than eating. Last night the ppm was 561 and this morning it was 605 which is a little higher than usual, but only by a little. When I reduced the pH to 5.5, I also reduced the ppm to 455. After reading the thread similar to this issue, I thought I might be doing more harm since it might be a nute deficiency vs. too much.
I am using hydro with about 10 gallons of water and have 3 females left on 3rd week of flower. I really need a little out of this crop since I am totally out. I feel like I am in the home stretch and dont want to mess it up.
Am I doing the right thing? Does it look like too much nute?
Picture 1 is of the "whole room" and 2 and 3 show the issue. The 4th shows the healthy part of my smallest one.
