Alright, Ive been doing some research on sunshine #4 (black bag w/ blue label) and there have been a lots of people who have had problems with it.

Apparently the company has changed some things, the main problem people were having was the ppms in the soil was too high, in some cases an extreme 1200-1600 ppm...(wow)

There were also really bad ph levels & this and that. I know there were starter nutes in it, but apparently that mix is not consistent with everybag produced.


So I went ahead and tested the ppm and ph of my bag(calibrated both digital tools before and after test)

The total ppm was 700 but i used tap water instead of RO so minus 300ppm, and the ppm level is 400.

It doesn't seem that bad BUT when you take into account the first nute feeding
(15ml of grow and 10 ML of liquid karma + the fact that I use tap water for VEG only)I mean the total ppm was probably between 1000-1400 which was too much for it I guess, I'm really just lucky the bigger ones didnt have it.

What still bothers me though is that if this was a over dose why didnt I get burned tips right away? or any at the very top of the plant? or random burn spots? these were all the same way, at the same part of plant (middle to lower)

Well i already flushed the 5 inch pot with one and a half gallons of ph'd water, a couple other leave are doing the same thing on the same plant only, but the top is fine, hopefully it will pass and recover.
