I have the Dr. Meter TDS meter for 12.99 on Amazon...works fine to help you realize how strong a mix you're using. I barely use it anymore, but if I switch nutes I always use it to guage what I'm doing.

That’s a heat related issue
Happens to me in the first week of flower. My plants aren’t used to the gavitas after being vegged under DE’s blue spectrum. I fixed the problem by having them on 500watts the first week then I crank em up

hey guys so it’s day 17 in veg for my bruja purpura and we’ll im a little concerned. What does this look like to you nute burn? It’s only in 3 out of the 9 plants and one of them was also a really slow starter. I’m using fox farms ocean forest I’m starting to wonder if this soil is just way too hot for seedlings.other than that they still look healthy and growth hasn’t slowed down. Also I have a really strong led in a 2x2x4 tent so it could be the light is too strong also???

Blurple LED increases CalMag uptake supposively. FFOF is notorious for lacking a CalMag base. Spots that look like that can be from dripping nute water on leaves and burning them...but doubt that's the case on day 17. Careful with liquid CalMag with un-cut FFOF soil, cuz the nitrogen in it can exacerbate the potential for nitrogen toxicity. My feeling is that adding an organic calmag amendment and very light liquid supplement may be the broadest defense.

What?? Spring water is definitely not RO! Spring water has naturally occurring minerals in it, RO water strips most of all the minerals, heavy metals, and contaminates from the water.

Actually, they sell a distilled product, but the spring water is spring water. You can go to their website and check their Water Quality Report.

It has calcium and magnesium. I wouldn't rely on just that without an organic component.
