Thanks for giving all the info.

Although your info is detailed, you didn't mention how much base nutes you're feeding. I'm gonna throw out a preliminary guess and say lack.

You're plant is getting bigger and the light is suddenly much stronger, two elements that suggest increasing nutes.

If you use additional supplements before you get things dialed in, it makes it hard to determine which nute(s) is/are causing the trouble. Try sticking with the base nutes at first, adding supps individually and learn which one does what to your plant.

thanx for fast reply mate and sorry for my english,i dont know what you mean for supplements,i adding to water Bionova X-CELL from the beginning,in the last time i use superthrive added with nutes or water,4-5 drops every litre,1 time a week,i use Cannazym,like base nute i use Biocanna Flores atm,i try 1 time to give them a GH tripak 0.4 - 0.6 - 0.9 ml on 1 litre,but i dont fix the problem is good idea transplanted them in Plagron Bat-Mix at 4 week of flow?because plant seems too bigger for these pots or better give them a good dogage of Biocanna Flores?i think to have constant 800-1000 ppm of CO2 because i live and sleep in the same room where i have the tent

What Nutrient's are you using? advanced nutrients micro and bloom
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful* Biocanna 1ml x litre

??? The second question asks how much you use in the first question. How much AN micro and bloom are you using?

It will help if you familiarize yourself the differences between base and supplemental nutes. You've listed more nutes than I'm familiar with and it's my opinion you're making things difficult with so many variables.

Superthrive is not fertilizer. It's anything but. In minute doses, it's a root stimulant. In high doses its not unlike agent orange, a defoliant.

Check out the ST label. It says to add a drop per gallon of water. 4 or 5 drops per liter is actually about 20 times stronger than you need.

Do a keyword search on Superthrive. You might be surprised at the results. Lots of haters.

sorry mate i copy and paste the form and forgot to cancel advanced nutrients....my base nute is Biocanna and rarely i add them tripak,only 1 time,yes sorry i imagine that superthrive,x-cell,cannazym are not supplements,i had some people use more than 1 drop every gallon,anyway now i try to give them 2ml x litre of Biocanna and i hope to don't do overfert,the leaves that take more light,had the problem,low leaves are ok,and also other babies that take less light to the border of tent stay better,than plants that stay in the center of tent.Thanx

Oh, ok. Sorry man. Now that you mention it's only on top, I may be wrong to assume they're underfed. The plants have nice structure, I can tell you've done a good job before they faded.

On a typical day you would have more than one opinion to work with. I hope others will help you out as I'm not too familiar with top down deficiencies. Any problems I experience are usually at the bottom, lol. I also have a small lamp and can't offer any info about safe distance between bulb and canopy for a 600.

Here's a good link to bookmark. It's a compilation of pics and info associated with sick plants. It's a lot of info to read at once but you can keep it for reference if you want. The pics in the thread are good for a quick comparison. Hope it helps.
