i have just started my first grow i am 3 weeks into veg using an 8 pot wilma system. i am growing blue cheese from cutting under 2 600w hps lights i have a 4" intake fan and a 6" outtake fan the room temperature ranges from 70 degrees to 75, i am trying to keep the humididty at around 50% but drops to around 30% when the humidifier starts to run low on water.

i have been using a nutrient schedule that i got from a friend, there is 70 litres of water in my res with a ph at 6, i have been adding 20ml of canna rhizotonic to every 10 litres of water and 10 ml of canna a&b to every 10 litres of water.i have also been misting the plants everyday with a solution of rhizotonic mixed at 4ml to 20 litres of water. my plants get drip fed for 15 minutes 4 times in 24 hours oh and they are on the 24/24 light schedule which i forgot to mention.

the problem is some of the leaves are starting to claw quite bad and some tips of several leaves are turning brown and crispy and some are also quite yellow or a really light green.

im not sure if im just worrying about nothing or if i have a major problem that needs sorting. i have tried researching this problem but cant seem to come to a conclusion so any help would be greatly appreciated!

im also new to forums and things zoo if im doing anything wrong please let me know!

thanks in advance, chris

Light green leaves most likely magnesium deficiency . tips going crispy and falling off mean lights burning them , can tell because the closes ones to the light are only getting crispy trip .if leaves all over the plant on just tips. Can be nutrients burn. Use 1/4 of what your nutrients say. Flush then work your way back up.
