Fox farm problems

[LuCKY527]

Hey what's up everybody!

i just started flowering 7 days ago and mixed the FF nutes on the low side of what the bottle called for.
tiger bloom and big bloom...PhD water, run off is 6.5?

The very tips are burnt a little bit within a few hours so I watered with PhDs water shortly after I noticed it.

kind of a 2 part issue here...any suggestions on what I can do to correct this,if I cut back the dose too much, won't that limit the other nutrients that are in it that aren't causing the burn?
#2...on the feeding chart it says to mix some Grow Big in with the others for 2 weeks!?
If they are burning now won't that fry them later when I add the GB?

What kind of soil are you using?

 

[LuCKY527]

Mixed in some perlite and vermiculite to a soil called Just Natural...supposed to be nutrient free
I had it in MG in the beginning as it's my first grow and didn't know any better, after it started having problems and I did a little reading I mixed up what I have now and after a couple weeks it pulled through and beat out all my others which turned out male anyhow lol
Once I got it out of MG and switched to FF nutes I had ZERO problems up until now.

I don't have a PPM tester so I'm almost positive the tiger bloom is a little "hot" as the reviews have said....

Also I noticed the smell has actually changed a little...all through "healthy veg" it was very sparkly and skunky, now after a week in flower it's not as sparkly or skunky and almost starting to smell sweet...is this common possibly from the flowering nutes to make it sweeter??

Do you check PPM before feeding?

CO Finest, I like you man but not enough to stalk your forum posts

I simply reply to posts I find on the forum homepage in the "Grow Room Topics & Questions" section to the right. This shows the most recent posts and those are were I visit.

You've been replying to most of them, I didn't meant to cause any negativity by always replying?

EDIT: also my bad Lucky, I just noticed you mentioned not having a PPM meter.

Its all good JJ. The more people we can help the better. I am looking at getting a new pH meter as well. What do you have that is like Hanna Instruments HI98128 . It has to have Automatic Temperature Compensation and a Replaceable electrode cartridge. Do you have anything like that?
