Hey RIU
So, as in the title, this is my first DWC grow. I am an experienced soil grower, but due to my growing location ( super humid and in the tropics), DWC seemed like a fun experiment that may yield better than my outdoor stuff. So far, in my veg set up, the growth is phenomenal, a, all of roots are super healthy (thanks to heisenbergs tea). I am using 5 gal buckets, in a 3x3x6 grow area, 400w HPS, 6 in inline fan and one ossilating fan. I am using Dyna Gro --> Foliage Pro Formula, Pro Tek, Mag Bro and Bloom.
So my issue is arising out of my NL #5 ( Nirvana strain). I stopped feeding her N-strong nutes about two weeks ago, and no signs of burning or over N toxicity seemed to be occuring. However, over the last week and a half I'd say, since I switched to full bloom. This is when the issues seemed came to the surface, and a majority of the top fan leaves and small bud leaves are curling down like a mofo. The fan leaves are also very dark green, which makes me think it is N toxicity, but if I cut out N over two weeks ago, shouldn't it have cleared out a majority of it out of its system. My bloom formula is 3-12-6. So, N should be negligible.
I have been very diligent watching water temps, pH and ppm ( on .7 scale). So, I am feeding this NL #5 @ roughly 200-230 ppm ( a slow gradual increase over the last 10 days). My ppm of my tap water is about 30 ppm, so I am feeding roughly 200 ppm of nutes.
I know this seems "low" to alot of people, but I am running a grape god right next to her, and I have maxed my feeding at 400-500 ppm, if I am getting great results at this level, I have no idea why people feed at 1000+ ppms. Just kinda boggles me.
I have attached some pics her. Thanks for your help
