I have read here and determined that I have Nitrogen Abundance, I am using ebb and flo 55 gal barrel setup with buckets, technaflora family of nutes, chilled water to 66-67 air temp lights on - 71-75, water 15 mins every 2 hours. My question is how to I fix it? today is day one of flower and have been in veg for 4 weeks. lights up until today were two T-5 8 Lamp fixtures and now will be 3 1000 watt for flowering.

Flush ur system for 15 minz empty res then flush again about 10 minz after first flush then empty then fill up and use about 1/4 the amount of nuts I wouldn't flower till u fix this prob or could seriously affect your yield

Nitrogen Abundance, is a weak term to describe an over feeding/ force feeding situation, typical of following the label on many nute bottles these days, continual flushing every 30 days is a popular way to avoid this, even easier to ease back on the nutes... time and think for yourself, consider the other issue in your pic, like the red stems or see to temperature fluctuation on your grow space, red stems is typical of too cold nights

Thanks. I see your point in the "Follow the Label". I will check the night temps, I was pretty steady around 60-65 with days at 70-75...I understood that no more than a 15 degree spread. My water is chilled to 66-67. Your 30 day flush, just straight water or along with clearex ?

Well this is day 3, as you can see they seem to be recovering nicely. I flushed the first day, drained the tank flushed and drained and flushed the 3rd day. 15 mins every 2 hours. Question is .. do I trim back the still dark green leaves or leave them on ?

Thanks all for the sugestions...

They looked a little over-watered in the original pics as well. Maybe that was part of the original problem?

I was thinking in the beginning, but the really dark leaves led me to believe the nitrogen was the issue... i was at 10 mins every hour.... now at 15 mins every two...are you running hydro ? thanks for the reply

oh i dont run hydro but the plants just looked like they might have been over or under watered.

I'm sure you had some kind of excess N, since you had some leaf edges bending downwards also
