I don't understand what's going on. I'm using seedling feeding schedule with general hydroponics flora series. I've been doin research and they said to add (MG)Epsom salt I only have the one with lavender smell. Doubt it's a heat problem lights are 6inches away and 4 fans total temp is 70-75 . 7x 24 watt lights and it's DWC 10gallon

Looks like your roots are not evolved enough to uptake the amount of what ever you are putting on plant....

I'm using 1-1-1 ratio 5ml of each micro grow bloom that's seedling feedings right. Will this go away if I top my resevoir off with water or dump and start again with less nutes . I only bought the flora series combo pack 1pint each and I see they run quick

Just to give you an idea, I'm using "3 ml" of floranova and my plant is 2 months old and huge, and this is in soiless medium with no nutrients. You're burning the hell out of it.

I have 10 gallons of water I only put enough for a 5gal resevoir that's still too much? I can't afford to dump the resevoir now until next week cuz my nutes are almost out I already messed up 4 times wit the size nutrients I have. I have to make this stretch till next month

with 10 gallons I have no idea the amount you should be using.

5ml per gal so I got 25ml total
I see. So 5 ml a gallon? or if you're using 10 gallons of water(not sure your post is confusing), that's 2.5 ml a gallon? too high for such a young plant. Just an idea, instead of dumping all the water, remove half and add plain PH'd water to the remaining water. Like I said before, I'm using floranova at 3ml a gallon, and my plant is huge, 6 feet tall, and the 3ml is really pushing it as far as it can go, with extremely dark leaves and the slightest of tip burns.

Ok so after I dump half I add the tap water then ph again and I'll try using 12.5ml of each

Of each I followed the bottle . I just topped it off with ph correct water until it even out from what the plant drinks
wow no, you seriously need to rethink and read things before you do anything at this point. 25ml of each is insane. No wonder you're running out of nutes lol.

Just for future advice, I'd get one bottle of floranova grow and one bottle of floranova bloom. You only use one of them at a time. You use grow while you're vegging like you're doing now, and then bloom when flowering. Pretty simple. Only one at a time, not both. And for young plants it's about 1/4 teaspoon(1.5 ml) a gallon. Right now you should be at about 7.5 TOTAL(all nutes) for 5 gallon, or 15 ml(all nutes combined) for 10 gallons of water.

1.5 ml per gallon for 10gal
1.5x10=15ml
15x3=45ml
Right now I have 75ml
Which means I need 45ml then

no, please read my post. Your total should not be 45ml for 10 gallons. Your total should be 15ml max, 5ml of each if you're using all 3, which I have no idea why you're doing that as it doesn't call for all 3. At this point I'd probably dump everything and read read read.
