Hello and thanks in advance for the help. This is my first outdoor grow I was using Technoflora Pura Vida 2 part system at half strength and also added 5-10ml of Humboldt nutrients Verde 4-4/12 gallons of water.because my plants started to bud way early in a 4-4/12 gallons of water. where i live we are on a well with high salt, and sulfer content , so i have a Hydrologic Stealth RO 200. Is this being caused by salt build up ?My plants are in smart pots. pics included once again thanks for ur time and experience. Strains Are BLUE BERRY , and PLUSH BERRY. Is this being caused by salt build up

Looks like a nutrient deficiency to me. The plant appears to be stealing from old growth. New grow looks okay. I don't have first hand experience with the nutrients your using, but in my experience hydroponics nutrients don't do well in outdoor setups. The nutrients leach (wash away) to quickly. A soil test would confirm my suspicions. PH could also be a problem.

For your setup I suggest switching to an all purpose organic dry fertilizer.

Thanks for the reply, i called technoflora and they said that pura vida would be great outdoors, but thats thier job could it be roots goin up into my smart pots and making them fight for nutes?

The pots aren't too small... I grow plants almost that size in 5 gallon buckets. You're using smart pots outside with no trays so it's probably not salt build up.

I'd go with your original self diagnosis... are you test pH and PPM?

Throw the soil meter out... they're never accurate. Put a tray under one of them and test the run off that comes out. It's the most accurate way to determine vs. soil testing.

I have a strain that does exactly that! I would try dropping your nutrients a couple 100 ppm or so, supplement with a cal/mag at half strength. I generally run around 1200-1400 ppm at my most hottest point but with my cheese if I finish over 850-900 you begin to see this any higher and it runs rampant throughout the plant. Good luck hope this helps

It's nutrient burn. Flush, flush, flush. Also looks a little like heat stress. How has the weather been where you live? The only other thing... it sort of looks like a molybdenum deficiency... according to this chart I'm looking at.

Probably wasn't the heat. If they were mine, I'd be flushing them and looking for new nutes (or just less of what you're using).

its always a tricky one, cal or mag v over fert, as cupping from moisture stree from over fert get confused with mag and server cal diff and vice verse for most symptoms bent leaf tips on new growth cal or n edges on fans leafs appear burnt or yellowing/Chlorosis, same again and nitrogen scorch marks against yellowing between the veins from mag, also the copper colored necrotic spots on leafs, can get confusing with mag and over fert, id day over fert, and the list go on, when did the moisture stress first appear, aka the cupping of the leafs, after the stated feeding, sometime with sensitive strains like bb, they have react almost instantly to high ppm by releasing moisture from the roots, im goring strain called Hercules by sannie and omg, that does that even with 0.7 ec in 3rd week of flowering
i forgot tip burn should give it away,
