thanks nov shit's costing me upwards of 500 now i went back to the hydro shop and i could only discuss it as tomatoes, mention weed, and you get kicked out. so, as clear as i could be, i explained it to them and they said that using the general hydroponics brand nutes is one that is really easy to get nute burn, so they had me buy better nutes and im supposed to flush this out and run only water in the bucket for an hour, then put nutes in it so i hope that was the right thing..i also bought a bathroom fan to suck air out so i have total circulation, but mind you they never saw the plants firsthand to see what it is on them. i would still like to hear feedback from at least a couple hydro growers to see if everything is being done right and to see if anyone else says that it really is nute burn.
