One more thing to add is I've just read you collect water from a well? Well water can be full of minerals and can upset a plant especially when you're feeding from a bottle too.

High levels of Ca could lock put potassium like that as well as cause that tip burn. I would also suggest you get a water quality analysis. You'd be supprised how many people overlook water quality and end up in a similar situation.

Good luck buddy :fist:
Very good point. My area has a high Ca level. Don't add anything aimed at calcium myself because of that.

Maybe collecting rain water would be better if they wish to collect from a natural source?

I know you said you had the sample pack of nutrients but for anyone to give an accurate diagnosis, you'll need to say exactly how much of each product you're using. Try to give as much information as possible when asking for help to get the best feedback.

Cannabis loves rainwater! Couple of issues with rainwater though. The first is collecting enough! Depends on where you are in the world but this can be difficult sometimes.

Next is pathogens. Not too much of an issue when growing in soil but in hydroponics you can introduce a lot algae spores that will thrive on nutrient rich water and can cause some issues. There are other pathogens that can also cause issues too. I've used those U.V fish tank filters before to recirculate the water and kill bits off before using the water but don't run U.V when once you've added nutrients as the U.V can take some goodies out.

You can also use a reverse osmosis filter if you have bad well water but you'll probably have to add a little Calcium to the product water to keep things stable.

I would start with other comments here and anything environmental like cold feet. In the meantime, get a water analysis done to see where you are with that. Once you have the results, post here and we can get you back on the path to success.

I do notice a temp guage which reads around 73F/22C unless there is a flucuation of temps at night?

I've found with autos when using nutrients in the past that they prefer a lower dose than photoperiod plants.
