Hi, as tittle says i'm looking for advice from more experienced growers as if i should increase my nutrient concentration.
plantes started developing flowers a week ago, ppm is dropping in what i consider a pretty fast pace but i got some burnt tips.
my last res change was at 1.65ec last friday, res now is at 1.5 ec, ph is stable.
i already increased my ec a bit by 0.2 this last change, should i go further?

Burnt tips are saying back off to 1.0 ec.. Most plants do well at 1.2
uhmm, my belive was if ph is stable but ppm is dropping i should be increase nutrient concentration as in the chart below, been following this rule, this is my 6th grow, but haven't run in a situation where id get burnt tipis till now. Also this is the one where i was able to dial VPD the best, so i'm at a bit of a loss, afraid if i just add some more plain water to the res i would be underfeeding them.

Yeah... is your water level dropping or stable? if so, I'd just add some fresh water top-up for now, and re-measure everything in 24hrs time... I wouldn't give them any more feed right now.

they are drinking quite a lot rn, for the first time on this run i will have to top off the res before the weekly solution change.
