1000w hps. Just switched from mh 2 days ago
5X5 gorilla
Growing in botanicare coco in prunex pots
Advanced nutes sensi grow coco at 16ml a gallon using ro water. Comes out about 1040ppm. This only seems to be on the fan leaves and appeared overnight. This is my 3rd grow and it happens everytime I switch to HPS getting ready to flower. Drives me nuts, plants all look great until I'm about to flower and wham. This crap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

for normal water, but r/o has none, you need to add some occaisionally
i spoke with an advanced rep and he seems to think its caused by nutrient lockout, saying i should flush and it would be fine. I asked him if the coco version has enough cal mag for ro and he said it shouldnt be a problem. I will also try your recommendation and hope one of them fixes the problem.

edit: Runoff ppm was at 1700. I dont know what caused such a horrible build up but flushing down to 6-900 ppm with rro water
