I had some troubles in the beginning, but I am very impressed how she is turning out. It's a shame I have a shitty camera or I could show the trich development. Again I'm impressed with the amount of white "nastiness" she has on her. The smell is ungodly though, I'm using a can air 9000 carbon filter and it does it no justice. FUNKY.

alright man i have a few questions and i know u can answer them. i just hooked up my new Ebb & Gro system about a 10 days ago. started flowering my plants about 7 days ago.
now that u know that. ive noticed that the leaves are kinda burnt on the edges and they are starting to yellow in between the veins, but the veins are still green. this is affecting the bottom leaves only but is working its way up. also the leaves affected have redish/purple stems. leaves that arent affected have green stems.
At first i thought it might be nute burn or salt buildup. so i flushed my system for a whole day with 1/4 nutes. but when i had a brainfart and realized i should test my tap water. it was 460 ppm. i had my plants at 1200 ppm on botanicare pure blend pro bloom for the past 7 days(switching up from grow). today i finally put 2 and 2 together and realized my plants were only gettin 740 ppm nutes. i realized that wouldnt be enough for nute burn or salt buildup cause the res was only a week old.
anyways my hypothesis is nitrogen deficency because growth isnt as fast as it should be in this first week. any thoughts?

I'm no expert, I don't even test PPM's anymore cause I done lost my meter. See that third pic, that's what happens when you don't have a ppm meter...lol. In my experience any kind of yellowing is usually a nitrogen deficiency, but your at 460 ppm tap water. I have no experiece with anything like that, but my assumption would be that 460 is "something", what? I haven't a clue. Whatever it is, it can't be good for your plant. I would filter that water or something, or if your res is small use store bought water.
Fuck, my ppm tap is 140. That's a bath tub there, so I just sit in my bathtub and mix up nutes. Top off from the tap right there.

well optimum ppm for my plants stage now is 1200-1400. i thought i had it on point but it was really only 760 ppm of nutrients. i always knew our water here tasted a little off but i didnt know it was that off. lol well my res is a 55 gallon drum lol. but i am buying storebought water from now on. i think thats what it was. so i mixed half bloom and half grow nutes today and bumped 30 gallons of storebougt up to 1100. so hopefully this will fix my problem. its not a serious problem but it sure as hell could turn into one real quick. thanks for your advice. sorry i dont have pics its hard to get good pics of 6 plants directly under 2 600s.

ok, your going to spend what? 40-60 on water? Just spend I think around $300 and get RO.

yeah i hear ya. but right now i only have 6 plants on the system. it can support up to 48 thats why the res is so big. my controller takes up 3.5 gallons and each pot is 2 gallons. so i only need about 20 gallons in there right now. $1.50 for 5 gallons. which is 6 bucks each res change. once i get some more money i will invest in a ro. but i already dropped close to 3 grand getting everything set up already.
