No pics sorry.

Have a 3 foot plant in a 5 gallon bucket. Watering with 6.7 water when top of soil gets dry. Feed full strength nutes ever third watering. FFOF soil. I have to pick off about 15 leaves every time I water. The leaves are drying out way too fast. What could be the problem? Thanks

You're likely feeding it too much, or at too high of a dose. Decrease one of those by half and you'll likely see some improvement. If it still happens, decrease by half again. I know many people who get very excellent results out of 1/4 recommended strength. I, myself, just listen to the plants and play it by ear.

It seems feeding full strength every third would be plenty safe, doesn't seem to make sense, I know if the soil though is well prepared with nitrogen none of your leaves end up turning yellow.
