    I think I'm starving one of my girls. The runoff I'm getting is 0.4, and last few feeds have gone in at 1.2ec. I've been upping it each feed and each time the runoff gets lower. How high would you recommend I mix the next feed... or could something else be the cause? Tbh shes looking like shit atm... thought it was light burn but now not sure.

    I'd try upping it more see how she respond personally. Does look lightish. But the ec being that low in the run off aint a bad think she's taken up more food then water. She might like a high ec some do. Just make sure to give her time to respond to the new feed.
    What's ya Backround? I'm no pro by all means just to point that out lol. Highest iv been is 1.5ec with Backround 0.7. good luck

    what medium are you using?
    ive personally gone as high as 1.7ec in coco and in hydro. but after a few grows i lowered it to 1.5 max. usualy at 1.3 but i do water 2-3 times a day with loads of runoff.
    i dont really allow much time for it to go up or down. never had any deficiencies this way

    I think its more the LED causing that damage along with low Humidity . Plus you got a fan right by her . Pretty sure thats the problem here . Get that sorted and shell bounce back and well be able to tell more whats going on

    Ive just gone through it with my new HLG260 rspec . Powerful fucking lamps for sure those high end leds man . Doesnt show but damn i almost frazzled 5 well established plants .

    Just check my 400W HPS @ 14". That is too close it had A par reading of 1200. Now I know why my plants look so bad some times, I have been hanging the light too close to the plant. Remencod PAR for Plants is 800 to 900 for plants. I think I will be getting better grows, now that I have an idea of where to hang my lights. WhoopWhoop!
