I am using GH Nova Bloom Grow with well water with a hardness of 304. Mixing per label results in PPMs of 1200 plus. My ideas are nitrogen deficiency or nutrient burn. Any ideas?

Looks like Burn to me, that nova is strong stuff...

I have also found the "suggested" mix on most labels is to hot and I back off...

I'd flush and recharge at half Nuts, let her grow a little and then remove the damaged leafs...

Lookʻs like Nute burn, not a N deficiency. Like Shake said fill out the Troubleshooting form, youʻll get alot more replies and advice.

Iʻd say flush well and skip your next feed for a phʻd water feeding, then give emʻ half strength on the following feed!!

Thanks much for your guidance and the format for filling in the blanks that I didn't! BTW, we did flush solution and cut back nutrients to 1/10th stength plus we've been foliar spraying with Karma... yellowing affect not spreading upward.

1200 ppm is very high for that small plant. Also from looking at the form... Your ph should be a tad bit lower, around 5.8 in.

You should be fine after you flush and lower the nute str and adjust your ph accordingly.
