Need Advice Please

I'm running a Hydroponic Water Farm with about 3 gls of solution I improvised it just a little with an added airstone inside the nute bucket
for added oxygen I also have 3 cfl 23 watt bulbs for vegging
I also have a T5 2 Buld Flourescent with 2 Flowering Tubes works good for my use and space I have.
But anyway here are a few pics of my second grow this plant is from seeds and is about 6 weeks old.

It's starting to show some yellowing on some of the leaves (pics below)
I'm hoping it's just Nute burnor something easy to take care of.

I'm only growing 1 or 2 plants at a time right now until I get a little better hand on the nute strengths
and things I maintain a constant 6.0 ph I know I need a TDS meter but for now I'm roughing it.
I'm using GH Veg and Micro I have Gh Bloom and I also have Xnutrients Amino Blast and Bloom FX.

I was wondering if it was to early to start adding the Bloom nutes along with the Veg nutes and
wether or not to add the Aminno Blast to the Veg Phase of Growing.

I would really appreciate Honest opinions and advice I plan on starting another system soon
but will be an improvised NFT System or Bucket System not sure which just yet.



Thank you all
Beau

You've got to get a tds meter, I too use GH veg, bloom, micro, ( as for those extras, I never use them ) If you mix it acording to the label, you ppm will be aprox 1500 to 1700 ppm. Way to high for full veg, you should be around 700 to 800 ppm. For full bloom you can go 1500 to 1600 ppm. Use this chart to give you a starting point. Hope this help....grow on my friend.

Seedlings, Early Sprouts.. 100 to 250
Early Vegetation 300 to 400
Full Vegetation 450 to 700
Early Blooming 750 to 950
Full Mature Blooms 1000 to 1600

Well I did a nute change today and with the new TDS meter I bought I have 585 ppm nute strength
So hopefully I'll see good changes over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the help
