Nutrient burn? What's causing this?

Four of the five plants from this morning. More Altarnia? Should I just abandon this grow? I don’t want to waste nutrients if these plants are doomed.

Looks like I saved them.

I’m surprised none of them has turned hermi from the early-on stress. A couple still have the discoloration, and one of the Acapulco Gold has very thin fan leaves and has much less foliage than the other AGs. But over all, I’m ok with them. One was much younger than the others, but I have only one tent, so its flowering will be less than the others because the others were already ready for the light flip. That’s alright.

Getting better. Are you bottom watering? Those trays you have under them do they ever get standing water in them? Or nutrient overflow that sits in those trays?

Hey @PreyBird1 . No, I’m not bottom watering. I’m allowing the soil to reach a point where the feed water is completely absorbed. Should I switch to bottom watering?

Hey @growman1

Welcome to GN. Shout if you have questions and happy growing.

That’s a solid nutrient line, but have you checked your runoff pH lately? Sudden spotting in a peat/coir mix like that often points to a quick pH swing or a salt buildup, especially since it showed up across two different strains at the same time.
