Water on leaves being a cause for leaf burn is an old-wives tale; completely bogus.

Judging by the pic what would you call it? Also I'm scaling wayyy back on the nutes as this shit is much stronger than I thought even at half strength! My last nutrients were last Wednesday and since then it's just been pH tap water with 1/4 tsp Protekt to help with the stress. I'm seeing increased signs of burn on the tips of the leaves, so I may not even do any more DG until I see signs of def. It's FFOF so who knows the plants might be able to keep feeding themselves for quite some time. Still much easier than dealing with Flora series so far imo.

Not sure what's the cause of the brown spots; a nute splash is possible.
I am sure it wasn't caused by light being concentrated to a point by water drops on the leaves; that just doesn't happen no matter how often its repeated. Outdoor plants would be all be fucked if that was the case.

Dyna Foliage Pro has too much nitro in it

nope.

i agree. it's hard to know how much nutes are still in the soil when you start adding other nutes.

As a beginner I would definitely suggest it to start out with, but as you develop and hone your skills, I would also recommend something else.

strange that Jacks (321, tap, ro) and DG FP all have roughly a 3-1-2 ratio of NPK. which pretty much shows none of them have too much N. are these "beginner" formulas too? lol.

good growers can use 20-20-20 successfully. weird, huh?

I hear you. I've seen plenty of growers who used Dyna Gro/Foliage Pro stating the same thing. Shit sometimes I even have to spray plants down to help rid them of the excess N in them; leaves damn near blue green sometimes and that's no bullshit.
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about

Tell my plants that.

I'll leave that between you and your plants but water droplets still don't form lenses which concentrate light to burn a leaf.

Science is real.

Can water burn plant leaves?

There may be a whole range of reasons why it's not good to water plants in the middle of the day, but is burning the plant's leaves one of them? Dr Karl investigates the physics of plants and water.

Dude were talking about intense lighting in a very small space. There's a lot of things that doesn't happen under natural sunlight that happens indoors, especially in grow tents. Funny how your plants can get light burn from indoor lighting, but doesn't from outdoors under the sun.

Oh yeah, thanks for the content. It's definitely appreciated.

Water drops don't form lenses indoors either; its a matter of physics.

Nute water on the leaf resulting in spotting is the more likely culprit.

Oh ok. I got you.
