did you use the tabs that came with the ag?
if so, were they labeled as the "Starter Tabs" or the small / large ones?

use the starter tabs and break one in 1/4, drop it into the distilled (or bottled) water and allow it to dissolve first. Then use that 4L of water to refill the res. (empty the water that you have in there out!)

I take it you are using tap water now (or have used some).

I'd empty the res, and refill it with clear Bottled water just above the fill mark. Let the plants recover for about 4 days, then add the 1/4 starter as mentioned above. Slowly go up from there till you have used 2 full sized tabs. After which perhaps change to your own nutes..


i found that my grow Nute (Not AG Nute) was initially too strong for my babies..

Good luck!

Nute burn looks like u didnt dissolve ur tabs b4 u added u gotta make sure completly dissolved

ahhh i see, complete idiot mistake on my behalf....I read that over and over again on this site and when time came to do it...i forgot....but I changed the water in the rez and added just some plain distilled water with a ph of about 5.7 and the plants are growing and some leaves look as if they are recovering...but some look too far gone...should i clip some of the leaves off??

pics coming soon.

Let's see a pic of your Blue Mystic. the one that I am growing in Soil looks 100% unique to the one that I am growing in my AG. I'll put up pics of them tonight to compare..I'd like to see what yours looks like as well.

well the new growth looks good man, cut off those burned leaves, and make sure your pH is at 5.7 - 5.8 and you should be good, is you keep it in line your plant should get better, then you can slowly add some nutrients.
