Nutrients locking? take ah look

Ecogrower 6 pot system using "mild growth" schedule feeding 10 min on 10 min off, after day 3 i noticed a white discoloration on the top and newly formed leaves? also on the same plant idk if i should cut the hanging branch?(pic is altered to show white)

Looks like it could be light burn. What lights are you using and how close are they?

Looks like your plants could use some more Nitrogen

Yes, cut all that lower growth and "lollipop" your plants as it is called, by removing all that lower growth. It will help greatly by allowing more energy for the upper growth buds which will have more light exposure, and thus, get much larger in the end and leave you with less small, popcorn nugs

400w HPS with hot spot diffuser, 4FT away from light. Temp 84F day 72F night.

You're fine on light & temps, don't worry about that. I'd agree if the leaves didn't look so healthy otherwise, but they are just light green from lack of Nitrogen. Keep it up homes, and don't add too much N to fix the problem at first. Slowly & progressively step it's levels up over the next few days until the problem ceases.

Also, keeping a grow journal in a spiral binder or something would be helpful for you in the end. I find looking back I jot down results of various things nutrient related that end up taking up 80% of the journal. It's that big of a topic and area of growing to get down. Knowing what you've been thru in the past to make sure you don't relive the same mistakes helps greatly!
