how old are they. Those white strains do better with lower levels of nutes. But it could be that your "Iss" is ready for a feeding.
 
My baby girls are only six almost seven weeks old! I have had to pull them out of shock twice alredy,.. they will be some tough little girls,.. I had to leave them at the (baby sitters) the shop where I bought them for an extra week and they were already becoming root bound,.. but the trip ome,.. kinda shocked them lightly,.. so I let them sit two days! Then I got the three gallon buckets and the happy frog dirt (recomended by the guy at hydro grow says he put his widow in it! So I transplanted them all,.. careful not to touch the root ball.. and snugged them each in their new home! Then I started to come in here because I haven't grown in twenty years and I don't remember much! and I didn't have to work real hard at it then,.. I was growing for pleasure,... today illness and necc. (the economy) Thye started getting those yellow dots and Chef told me to check ph and quite a bit actually,.. and we pulled them through,.. I put a hummidifier on them then pulled it away,.. most of the yellow is gone,.. but the iss! continued to gain a few spots and look pretty wilty,.. I began to believe yesterday it's the water and bought some distilled,.. then I wondered as I got up this am,.. Is it that the Iss requires less water than my others? I had to take a rather nice but dead leaf off the bottom of my widow my great white and OG aren't having many issuews at all (except I really need to invest in a GOOD timer! (I bought two cheap ones and I must be ignorant! cuz they keep going off at 6 am instead of midnight,.. I adjust them and they still don't want to go off til 6 am! so I decided maybe I have a ghost playin with this timer,.. I put off turning off the lights yesterday and this am when I realized the lights still aren't going off and it clicked off at 6 I covered them up and said good night girls,... can't beat it join it,.. my goal is to put them on the 18/6 for a bit! The temp in the day is about 78 all the time in my house and they are in the living room with us (I have lic.) We ave humidifier running near but not on them,.. 2 "natural daylight" cfls (60 watts each) 1 "sun" light cfl (60 watts) Not believing light is a real issue yet,.. going to look at better system in town today! We'll see when I get back and wake them up for breakfast,.. (just water) I haven't added nutes (figure the folks at Happy Frog new what they were doing) Thanks for the time folks! Clearly,....

Soooo, true I will give you my input in about an hour talk to you soon.
 
I recommend you get some black tape and cover the outer parts of those white 1-gallon buckets. Yes you do have hydroton but to prevent algae from forming.

Have a fan blowing on them I did not see a fan and you didn't say if you did have one blowing on them.
 
I have one seedling with 2 brown leaf tips, no nutes and the light is not close it's just a ceiling light. The rest of my seedlings look fine. Can't be light or nute burn... Only spraying for water, not transplanted yet. Any ideas?
 
Gone2 pot...you may want to start your own thread with that question. Does your soil have nutes in it? Alot of potting soil is too hot to start seeds in.
 
I use T5's and my plants are 2-3 inches from the tops of the plants. No problem. T5's are not hot. Often my plants grow so fast overnight that when I check in the morning, leaf tips are touching the lights. No problem with burning.

The only time I get crusty tips is when the PH balance is off, or the nutes are too strong. OR, if I have watered with nutes when the soil is too dry. I've learned to wait, water one day if the plants got too dry, then nutes the next day.

I am not an experienced grower. Just sharing my experience, though limited. Good luck Surrep--sure love your Bonsai mom thread!
 
I keep my t-5's 4" from tops. I use GH nutes as well and have had same problem. PH 5.8 to 6.0 never over. I recently bought a ppm meter so I don't need to change my res. just add water with nutes. I keep my ppm at about 1000 for 15gals. and since that problem has stopped. The water is air raided as well keeps leaves from drooping.

It does look like nutrient burn, I will read your grow log later today, I have to be up in about six hours and I have a major test in the AM. I have ran a DWC and used GH so I will give you some tips that have helped me. Also please leave a list of what your have meaing.
1. System I know DWC
2. Temp
3. Humidity
4. PH
5. PPM
6. Do you have fresh air exchange in the room?
7. Do you have a fan on them?

and I will see about how far away you need to be with the T5, I know THG would know the answer but I have to go to bed sorry.

2. 70 at night and between 77-82 during the day
3. around 50%
4. i top off my rez and adjust pH to 5.8 daily
5. not a clue. i've been following GH's schedule
6. central AC bring air in and i have a inline fan connected to carbon scrubber that takes air out.
7. yes, i've got a fan on them.
 
ok guys, i'm back.

well, i did the complete opposite of what some people suggested. i kicked it up to what GH's schedule calls "growth"

5 gallons of RO water from wally world
50 ml of Flora Nova Grow
5 ml of floralicious plus
i topped off the rez with fresh RO water and then pH'd the entire rez to 5.8 daily.

attached are pictures 10 days later. while i am still getting some burnt tips, i am still getting new growth and they are getting bigger. look at the picture i posted on 01/11/2010 and then the pictures from today in my journal. 14 days! from my understanding of nute burn, they would not continue to get bigger. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

pictures are here: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50787&page=2

the reason why i did this, i was looking back through one of the old threads i started (http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48283) originally what i thought was a pH issue. come to find out that my issue was underfeeding.

could this possibly be my issue here?
 
Are the tips REALLY burnt? I thought mine were til I looked close! IT WAS DUST MITES! The lamps were dusty I figure that's what got em! If you look for my "Home cure" Thread that could help! (Look closely at the leaf is it really burnt or if you get really close can you see somethin has been chewin on them?) Seriously! It was friggin dust mites and the dispensary told me to try this home concoction with garlic and jalepeno's,.. Best wishes!
Clearly,..... Crystal
 
i dont know how to tell if they are really burnt or not. can you look at my pictures in the other thread and tell me what you think?
 
Can you kick me a quick link I looked through your old thread only found the three I can't see tips very well!

K sweety this link says Http Not found! We'll get it figured out,.. I could tell it was a "chew" not a burn cause when I looked closely at the leaves,.. although the tips were brown and burnt looking PARTS of th eleaf looked Knawed on! so I got down on my knees with my strainnin lil eyes and saw like little dots scattered here and there (very small needle size dots) on the leaves,.. looked past the "burnt looking area" the bottom where it begins to turn green again,... that's where it looked like an ameba sized rabbit had been knawing on the leaf! My Iss had two or three yellow dots,.. about the size of a childs tear drop (smaller than a pea) ,.. on like three leaves,.. My widow's lowest leaf,.. turning quite brown and one yellow spot the size of a pea! same knawing going on,.. looked at lamp and it was dusty!!!! took it gently away,.. treated plants,.. with concoction,.. wiped edges of pot with damp cloth of concoction,.. took shade off lamp outside sprayed with fabreeze anti microbial,.. dusted lamp and bulbs well away from my girls! put all back together and they Look beautiful this morning for sure! I actually treated them again last night,.. and now will keep eye on things around them for dust!! Hope you get the pic link fixed,.... otherwise,... "get on your knees!"

try that link, it's a link to the actual picture. what i've done on each plant is cut the leaves off that had the burnt tips. then i can see if it's still happening.

"get on my knees", damn i wish more females would tell me that lol

i appreciate your help, crystal. i'm just trying to figure out where should i go from here. should i keep the nutes the same, increase them, decrease them...i dont know lol
 
Well they are full and beautiful! I think you did the best! No, my plants burnt tips looked "browner" yours are like a yellow (to much h2o or burnin on the rocks in the sun,... glad you pulled them though! mine Looked chewed when I got close,.. Your's don't! I actually pulled the worst of mine too! but treated the least of it and they are still thriving! Just keep it in mind to keep you lamps dusted! AWAY FROM THE PLANTS! so they don't drop down on the plants and cause a new issue here! Gonna pull up a chair and watch your babies to see if the problem stops now! Take care Kiddo,... Thought you'd like the "get on your knees,.." My ol man loves it when I do,......lol! (clean around the plants! What are you thinkin,....lol)
