Yes Polish , glad to hear from u, u seem to know your stuff from reading the boards... cheers for the encouragement too.

I was thinking about maybe a lack of nutes could also be the problem, just no reference to go off other than here. nute burn seemed the obvilous solution as i rushed the introduction of nutes, and went over the stated amount on the bottle.

I've attached 3 close up pics of the suspected nute burn affected areas, apologies for the res.

Q. I was planning to continue just water for a day or 2, to recover from the nute burn, Just to clarify, from what u recommend would it be advisable to go back to a nute solution of EC1.5?

Also, should i lower the light again to ~3" above?

I'm know that u cant give exact advise as with all things in life it depends on individual circumstances and its best to see how things develop and adjust accordingly, just looking for some other input to swap ideas etc.

Just looking to get a nice healthy mother and some good bud to smoke.

Much appreciated.
