750-800 PPM is what I was at going into Flowering. If your at that high of PPM and your plants are young you better get them a lot lower.

How old are your plants?

if you are in soil your ph should be around 6.5-7.0 you ph is low .....for soil for hydro 5.5-6.1 is good

leaves that curl up are a sign of heat stress ...what is your temp and humidity???

I would hold at 450 and watch for good new growth then slowly 50-100 ppm per week increase it to full strength veg nutes.

Hello, I havve been growing for about 1 week and 1 day and I just started having trouble yesterday. They have been all green but yesteday a few leaves started to turn yellow and curl up and down. It is kinda wierdin me out.
I have 6 plants in dwc with a drip system running.
1000w hps light
The ph is 5.8-6.0 depending on the color of ph tester
Temp when light is on is around 75-85 when lights off 70-75
I use Flora Nova veg and bloom in a 10gall tank (this is where i get confused) i was told to use 1/4 nuts. It says on the bottle us 1/2 teaspoon per gal so i used 1/8 teaspoon per gal. Is that right?
I have it on a 18 on 6 off timer

any info will help ty!! and here are some pics!!​

NO it is not your girls are probably hungry....and your ph should be lower for hydro like more like 5.5-6.1 otherwise you could be getting a lockout of your nutes...also keep an eye on your res ph after a day what is it...bet it is above the range....you will need to drop it and keep her in range......or........?

I would first try and find a digital PH pen online something cheap can be found on amazon or ebay I dont think those test strips will be very accurate.

i ran into a similar prob when i started a couple weeks ago, i drained the reservoirs and i used water at 45 ppm's and added Super Thrive 1ml per gallon of h2o for 3 days they recovered nicely from the stress and started back at it with a total tds of 450ppm hope this may help.

Those plants are big enough for half strength nutes... if your using ro water try adding cal-mag plus from botanicare and setting your ph around 5.6 and letting it climb up a bit it looks like a nitrogen def which I am sure cal-mag will not fix but cal-mag is a must for r/o.. I am not sure though cameras play tricks so go to google and type in cannabis plant deficiency guide and you will find more threads about plant problem solving then you will know what to do with. My personal opinion is its a nitrogen def and if you want to fix it up your nutes!! Good luck.

Thank you very much for the replies, they do help. I am using 1/4th of 1/2 teaspoon it told me to use per gallon. What would be a good amount to up it?

Lamen's term...uh 1/2 of a 1/2 so really 1/4 teasoon/gal ....then you can slowly up as needed by your plants.

What is your NPK of your veg,bloom nutes?

My veg is 7-4-10 and my bloom is 4-8-7
I drained the res and put in a fresh 10gal of water with 3 teaspoon of nut. I lowered the ph to about 5.5 but whenever i put in water it jumps up a lot. When my water jumps down a gal should i add 1 gal of fresh water or with nutes?
