I Bought my clones from a medical dispencery. I have 6 jack herer and 6 dj short flo babies . I have one 1000 watt hps light on a light moving rail. I have one 8 inch inline fan venting out staight from my light. then I have one 18 inch osalating fan . the light,rail,and inline fan are on 20/24 timer. im using 3 gallon buckets with fox farm ocean forest/vermiblend soil . for nuts i have foxfarm GrowBig , tiger bloom and beastie buds . Im on day 9 and so far the flos have huge growth compared to the jack herer . except now Im seeing leaf damage on both strains . tips burnt even on new growth and yellow spots on older growth. I thought mabey bugs but I checked tops and botoms with my 30x scope just spots. someone please help

sounds like nute burn. those plants are far too young for nutes just yet. the soil you have them in already contains nutrients that will feed the plants for the first 3 weeks-month. after that time, then add ur nutes at a 1/4 strength of what the bottle recommends. increase gradually over time. good luck...

yeah that looks like heat stress in combination with nute burn, give them straight water for a week or two and get better ventilation

you def dont wanna nute anything till their bout 3-4 weeks old..
You know these are cuttings right? Not seedlings. Sounds like a definite overdose of nutrients. Why bloom already?? Should be giving them something with a higher N value. Use a very dilute nutrient solution and keep the watering to a minimum, only when top soil is dried out.

It's only been one day and already back on track. Done with nutes for now anyway. Now I guess all I can do is Waite

Only stop with the nutes for a feeding or two, then get back on with a low dose. Ideally you should go: nutrient nutrient water nutrient nutrient.
