Doubt too much light since it's a Mars. Usually they are about half of the stated wattage. What nutes?How much? And the pH definitely can be an issue.Lets try again... This is Blueberry strain growing in a 3'x3'x6.5' grow tent using 900 watts of Mars Hydro LED's. I am using entire Foxfarm line with Foxfarm OF soil in 5 gallon pots. They will be in flower for 3 weeks on the 5th of this month. I tried posting both pics, sorry about the sideways one. I use about 1/2 of what the feeding chart says to use as I was recommended to do. My fan leaves just under the buds are turning this redish purple color on the edges and curling down. Can anyone help me out on what I am doing wrong? Im thinking it might be a "P" deficiency but I am unsure. Any help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately I don't have a ppm tester and I'm just going by label as best I can. Only thing I have is a PH meter.Phosphorous deficiency.Your pH sounds proper. Add a dilute feed of your veg nutes. They need some N to help take up other nutes. Cut the other nutes because it is late stage and is caused usually by the solution having to high an EC/PPM. Any idea what the EC/PPM is of your water and then of your feeds?Or are you mixing them from the label directions?
I use this same line up...my ph runs 7.0. Did you transplant with OF right before flower cycle? Have you followed the feeding chart since wk1?Nutes: All measurements are per gallon.
*Big Bloom 7.5ml
Big Grow 5ml
*Tiger Bloom 5ml
*Flower Kiss 10ml per gallon foliar spray 2x week
*Boomerang 2.5ml
*Kangaroots 1ml
Microbe Brew 1ml
Bembe 7.5ml
*Kelp me kelp You 5ml
*Open Sesame 1/8 tsp
Beastie Bloomz 1/8 tsp
Cha Ching 1/8 tsp
*Cal/Mag 10ml
Im in week 2 flower so im using the ones with stars by them currently and starting week 3 tomorrow. Watering at PH 6.5 with a runoff of 6.1.
Whats your guys opinion on what and how much nutes I should use in my next watering?
You need a PPM meter.

At the rates you say

*Flower Kiss 10ml per gallon foliar spray 2x week
*Boomerang 2.5ml
*Kangaroots 1ml
*Kelp me kelp You 5ml
*Open Sesame .5 ml
*Cal/Mag 10ml
Total 41.5ml
I bet you have a PPM over 3,000 at that rate. All those nutes are likely locking each other out at that rate. I would recommend you simplify your nutrients and measure your final mix to ensure you stay below 1600 PPM.
Do you use RO/Distilled water? If not, stop using Cal/Mag, it is likely your lockout cause.

I would use pH test strips before I went without a EC/PPM meter. Hanna makes very good units for the money. You don't need to spend for a Blue Labs unit.Unfortunately I don't have a ppm tester and I'm just going by label as best I can. Only thing I have is a PH meter.
Ok so this means this EC/PPM meter is a must? One question im sure to have after buying one is... How do I raise/lower EC and PMM to get the correct levels I need? I can add the nutes and stuff to the mix and PH it correctly but did not know anything about EC/PMM till just reading about it. Sounds pretty important.
I have PH test trips but I don't use them because they suck compared to the PH meter I have. Never once did I say I did not have a PH meter.I would use pH test strips before I went without a EC/PPM meter. Hanna makes very good units for the money. You don't need to spend for a Blue Labs unit.
1x a weekId try raising the ph to 7 and giving recommended dose. Are you feeding 1 or 2x a week?
