Trouble in the grow tent. Help requested

Hey everybody, I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some advice on an issue that's causing some damage to my new and old growth at 2 1/2 months in veg. Here are some pics:



She's in a 5 gallon hempy bucket with 100% perlite using GH flora series nutes at regular strength with a ph of 5.8-6.2 in de-chlorinated tap water. PPM's around 800. I'm leaning towards nute burn because I think I was maxing out around 75% of what the GH chart suggested on my previous grows at peak veg and peak flower and even at 75% they burned just a bit. If I confirm my suspicions here, I'll dial it down to 50% strength and play the waiting game to see if that was it.

Thanks everybody!

Doesnt look like nute burn to me, homestly they look alright. Maybe a slight p defiency.....when in doubt flush and start over right? Lol

What's your temps?

Temps are low of 74 and high of 82 daily. I just switched over to flower with my new phantom 600 dialed down to 75% and gave her a good blast of nutrients at 75% of the GH recommendation and she seems to be coming out of whatever funk she was in. New flower sites are blossoming everywhere and since we had such a nice cool night last evening, my temp inside the tent at the canopy is a beautiful 75.

I think she was just under nourished. I'm going to continue to keep an eye on her and see how things go. On a side note, I have been looking for something simple to serve as a particle filter for my intake ducts and just ran into the holy grail at the dollar tree: Fat lady panty hose for $1/ pair I just clipped the legs section off with a set of scissors and slid each leg over each intake and voila, no large particulate getting into my tent. Thank god for fat ladies and free trade!

hey another thing for intakes at dollar store is mesh laundry bags haha looks to me like possible salt build up by now if you havnt just flushed that baby run few gallons of nute mix thru might be wasteful but plants seem to always explode i havnt tried to meny hemppy buckets actualy only did one half ghetto pot but coco all time man and if no run off then its time for some. i use gh i ditched the grow and use micro n bloom at 4ml micro n 7 or 8 ml bloom depends if i added some calmag to green um up.Good luck light is close to not sure about ur led man those things can be powerful too and make a girl all messed up looking like every defiency

2.5 months veg?!-

wtf?

hempy's are fast as fuck. thats why they justify the waste.

use promix. 3 heaping tbs lime per gallon. feed 20-20-20 anything soluable.

kill it.

I grew from seed. Accelerated growth doesn't begin until the root system is well established which is around 4 weeks from sprout. I intended to grow 2 but her sister didn't make it so I had to grow the one plant large enough to fill the entire tent on her own which took an additional 5-6 weeks with lots of tying down and training.

The problem I was originally having was a PH issue. My ph meter was bad and giving me incorrect / inconsistent readings which I didn't zero in on until damage had occurred. I bought a new meter and have since had nothing but smooth sailing. Here are a few pics at the end of week 3 of flower.

Light distance was all good and it's actually a high output 250w 8 bulb T-5, not an LED Jonny isn't sold on LED's. It was a low ph problem due to my broken meter. A bad PH meter will do ya in every time growing water to waste. I now keep 2 on hand and they get stored with 7.0 solution in the cap and then stored in a zip lock baggie. no chance of the probe drying out on me.
