over fertilization or under fertilization?

what do you guys think when you look at these leaves? the leaves then fade to a solid light brown and fall off the plant. starts at the lower side of the plant and then slowly goes up. i could be wrong but it seems like its been getting worse as i lower the nutes.

It looks to me like your PH isnt perfect!
Thanks for sharing.

Are you still using h202? I think I read that youre using 7ml a gal of 30%? I thought the bottle said 3.5ml or something. I could be wrong and it probably isnt your only problem anyway.
You see those purple stems too? That tells me your plant isnt feeding. If its lacking P at this stage youre better off starting over. Its gotta be a root issue if its not PH/lockout
You were at 900 and then 600ppm at .5?
Did the clones have 3 blade leaves or are these plants growing them still?

nope stopped using it. the plants arent that bad but after thinking about it, it gotta be not enough nutes. at first i thought it coulda been too much nutes and after slowly lowering the ppm i ended up at 200 and my plants are almost 3 ft and slowly got worse. i probably just gotta hurry up and bring it back up to like 600 ppm. this happens every now and then and i can never figure out if its underfeeding or overfeeding

I havent used those nutes, but I find it hard to imagine burning your plants up like that at [email protected] unless your pen is messing with you.
200 is going to cause issues for sure. Thats like being flushed

everything was goin alot better when i was at 900 i can tell you that. i had some burning from h202 and i slowly lowered the ppm before i knew thats what it was and as i lowered it i started noticing these problems on other plants. the h202 through me off i should just raise it back up. hmmm 600 sounds like a good number il try that i guess

ok i just upped it to 600 ppm im guessing thats at least enough tp keep the plants healthy. im gonna chop off all the light brown leaves and then if it happens again il up the nutes even more. guys i just wanna learn from this. if this is an underfeeding situation than exactly what mineral are the plants not getting enough of? i encounter this every now and then and it would be good to know specifically whats happening

A better question would be - what did you think they were getting enough of at 200ppm? Most people have tap water above 300...
Your plants should do well anywhere between 1.0-2.0 EC. Its up to you to find the happy zone for your strain in your system.

i just brought it down to 200 today, yesterday it was at 300 and a few days before that 400 and so on. im working with a new strain and it acts totally different than my other strain so i gotta get used to it. my other strain i cant even give em more than 300 ppm in veg or they start clawing no lie. now i know what they do when they dont get enough nutes so i can spot it easy next time.
