• 5 weeks into flower just using Grow Dots and recharge. Plant tips are showing a little bit of brown and curling up. Not bad. But is it nute burn? Figured the dots were pretty mild. First grow with them. Anyone have ideas?

      • Pictures would help.

        How many tablespoons dots to container size?

        • @fatherstaples Followed the recommended amount for 5 gal bags.. had a small amount on the solo cups before transplanting to the 5 gal bags. Everything looked good until about three days ago started to notice the tips.

      • What’s your medium?

      • How is your environment? If the curling is only at the top of the plant then low humidity/high temps speed up transpiration rates faster than the plant can transport water which messes up the stomatas and curls/dries the leaf.

        If the curling is all over could also be underwatered and therefore nute burn.

        Hard to say for sure without more details.

          @LysergicFox wow great info! Thanks…it does seem like burnt tips are all over but more at the tops. I have been watering from the bottom unless giving recharge. But the bags feel pretty heavy/watered since yesterday’s watering. But tomorrow is recharge day. Current temps and humidity …79 temp and 52 humidity

          • @PuraVidaFarms oh word if you’re bottom watering its usually maintains itself pretty well. Just saw you said you use grow dots too so probably not nute burn unless it got super dry. You’re on the higher end (nowhere near alarming) for your vpd in flower so i’d try raising the humidity a little provided you have good airflow. Maybe like 55-60.

            My guess is there’s possible hotspots at the top of the canopy and where it’s denser messing with the vpd.

            Also I’m definitely not an expert, just had similar issues in my tent.

        • She’s just feeding hard at the stage she’s in and getting her nails done it’s not a problem she’s just processing a bunch of food and you might be letting her dry back a little bit to much between waterings and the nutrients are getting condensed into the little bit of water that she has left before you water her again?
