Keeping this here, as it's a plant problem.
You might want to name threads what they are about if you want people who can help fix the problem to even read the thread.

Stinky-- Overfeeding crossed my mind, too. Mandala (maker/breeder,manufacturer, w/e) of the seeds say this strain needs very little nutrients so I dropped it down to about 650 PPM last night. I'm not sure of the res temp butt hey are sitting on a tile floor. Whats the target res temp, btw?

Oh,word....Yea I guess that makes sense....

Target res temp is about the same as target room temp. Keep it oxygenated and in the upper 70s, and stable. Put foam insulation under the pots if the floor is very cold.

Did I read correctly that you are alternating your CalMag and Liquid Karma? If so.......quit it. They are not in any way interchangable products.

If thats what you are indeed doing then there is your problem.......CalMag should be part of your STANDARD fert routine. The LK is extra beans.

Im just throwing this out there, I figure someone will have to agree or disagree but when my plant leaves got 2 shades of green folliar feeding helped. (ps due to my own toxicicity I am in no mood to be spell checking anything)

My 2nd grow is just getting going so hopefully youll just read my advice and let someone who knows more about this tell you if it would help the color of the leaves because it wont help the brown edges just the color.

Stinky - I use Sunleaves oxystones. i'll check the res temps

Weedhound - I alternate LK and CM at res change, I follow Latewoods method loosely....come to think of it I dont think I had this problem until I started alternating the CalMag...

Luvfriday- thnks for the input. honestly foliar feeding scares the hell out of me...Im worried about overtanning them...ya know?

[Weedhound]

CalMag replaces the minerals etc that RO or distilling takes out of your water. So yes.....you pay to take everything out of the water and then you pay to put things back in.

CalMag should be between a third and a half of your total ppms if using RO or distilled water every time. Liquid Karma isn't necessary.....CalMag is.

Good luck.

Foliar feeding isn't scary! In fact, it has application in treating observed deficiencies WHILE you are trying to figure out how you got them, by bypassing the roots.
I like to feed my plants with a weak solution of the 'GH Micro' from the GH 3-part. I mix it up at about a tablespoon in a quart spray bottle, with a drop of dish soap to make it 'stick' (surfactant), and mist lightly. That buys you more time to fix the source of the problem.
