I have a amnesia Auto in 4 gallon air pot using FFSF i just started feeding her at week 4 she is at week 7 from seed. I started giving her nutes in small doses starting at 1/2 ml per 2L and now ive worked up to 2ml per 2L she seems to be doing ok my question is do i give her as much as she can take or just keep feeding her what she seems to be happy with? I hear some say give them all they can take and i hear less is better some one clarify this!

Its hard to tell from the pics but it looks like you have a nitrogen toxicity.
Are the fan leaves cut? Or curled down?
 
Feed higher every few feedings and when she shows burn go back to the last strength before she didn't like. Just do 2-3 same strength and than abit higher for 2-3 more till you see her sweet sopt.
 
Cut. I have no def as far as i know unless green leaves are a def. I did have a cal/mag def for first 3 weeks but that has been fixed .
Not a def. He's talking about to much nitrogen. Your leaves look alittle to green but the lights make it hard to tell. Do your leaves curl down at all?
 
What soli? I guess someting of Fox Farms. I only ever seen Ocean Forrest, Happy Frog and Light Warrior if i remember right.

Most of my leaves are not curling down some small sugar leaves are curling a bit here is a natural light pic. If it is a Nitrogen toxicity do you suggest a good flush?

Did you trim off the burnt tips ?

I lurked some old threads from users of that soil and they all say , it starts out ok then their plants burn to shit.

Normally I'm not a flush guy but ..... I think you SHOULD break it down a bit.
Use PH water .... Check run off once it passes thru medium.
Leave plant as is after. NO NUTES.

When it comes time to water again ( when dry ) use a good / LOW NITRO BLOOM FEED .
Excessive nitro will cause small buds / burns / and lower PK uptake.
You need to be giving her more PK and LESS nitro at this time.

I say find a better soil mix for future grows.

Sounds like it's a pre-charged mix ... So maybe by " adding " NUTES along the way it became too hot .

No i had no burnt tips i trimmed half way for shading issue. Thanks for the tip i will do this right away and let her go a couple of days and dry out and start her on a descent bloom feed. Thanks again
 
Flushed with 4 gallons of R/O initial run off was 1850 ppm i flushed it down too 450 since i ran out of R/O ill update in a few days thanks for all the feed back guys!!!

Instead of cutting healthy leaves, you'd be better off tucking them under the lower bud sites.
And yes a good flush seems to be in order. I've never heard of Fox Farm Strawberry Fields. I use Happy Frog myself but I mix it with 30% cocoa because if I use it straight out of the bag it tends to burn the little ladies.

Strawberry fields is FF new line has coco in it . It does seem to be a little hot for veg at 800ppm on flush right out of the bag ive heard good and bad things. I dont have a opinion on it just yet the problems ive had with this girl have been inflicted by me other than the cal/mag def. which was me being unfamiliar with Led's. i shoulda flushed her long before now was my mistake. This dirt will feed her the entire veg just feeding supplements is basicly what ive learned from this soil. I have another young lady going now and this time i took cal/mag powder and mix'd 2 tbl and mixed it in the soil. Now all i feed it is water through entire veg so far so good i think.
