What's your feeding schedule? What type of nutes? Age of plant? It looks like some nute burn.

i havent been feeding it nutes since ffof soil came loaded with nutes and its only been about 3 weeks since i transplanted into the 3gallon pot. . i feed it tap air rated water let it sit out 24 hours for no chlorine . every 2-3 days.

I agree with ya slipon, I've noticed that too. Thank god for hydroponics!

But I'd give it a flush and see if that helps your problem out. Try to get a pH reading of your runoff as well. I'd take a sample at the beginning of the flush and one at the end of the flush just to make sure things are in check.

If your tap waters ph is at 7 thats a bit high. You want it btween 5.7 and 6.3. Bring that down a bit

FFOF soil? clue me in..

dunno .. but I keep bumping in to thread like this .. wher Ppl. use it and have problems with over feeding ..
if I wher to use FFOF soil I would atlest mix it up with +30% coco fibers (neutral coco fibers with no nutriens added)

and yea a good flush with some 6,5-7 PH water might help make sure you see a lot of runn off ..

and sure you can take a PH test of your runn off .. but do it with a "grain of salt" so to speak dont think it will come out the same ..
if you water with 6,5 -7PH (as you schould in soil) it will mostelikely come out ½-1 point lower .. depending on how much nutriens/salt you keep in the soil ..

but I use it to keep a eye on my girls ..
I know if I water with 6,5 (light green in the test) it will come out around 6 (yellow in the test) if I see it come out way off I make a cheap soil test .. just to see if Im totaly out of ranges
