Does the waxy curling down leaves indicate to much nutrients

The reduction in nutrient was done through dilution. I use filtered municipal water.
Should I make a new mix with epsom salt and less growbig

Ok odd not do that but I will

I would

I was saying that to littlecactus about seperare threads.

What does epsom salt do?

Adds magnesium without the calcium. Epsom also adds some sulfer.
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate.

Did not ad epsom salt. I have it now but how much per gallon

I think my meter needs calibration
Nutrient mix is new
No grow big
Only tiger bloom and bigbloom

First time 1 teaspoon per gallon. After that 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. That is not written in stone. It is just how much I would do and see where we go from there. I add the epsom last mix nutrients first try for a solution of between 850 to 1050 ppm. Then pour in epsom.
With the epsom take a pint jar put very hot water in add epsom shake till fully disolved.
I would also put 3/4 tablespoon of unsulfered molasses per gallon that same jar. It has to be melted in hot water also.
My exact mixture most of the time not always but most of the time.
5 gallons of my tap water.
2 shot glasses of big bloom.
1 and a half shot glasses of Tiger bloom.
5 teaspoons of epsom 3 or 4 tablespoons of unsulfered molasses pre diluted in hot water [not boiling but very hot from tap.]
From a gallon jug of ph down 1 and 3/4 caps ph down. Mix well.
Then check ppm generally comes out for me around 850 ppm with ph of 5.9 to 6.0. Then if I want it higher I add a quarter shot each big bloom and tiger bloom. Or whatever I think it would take to get to 1050 ppm and recheck ph.
DISCLAMER: I GROW IN PROMIX BX. MY PH WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN IT WOULD IN HYDRO.

Order a calibration solution kit of Amazon. It will come with 4, 7, 10 solution. Without calibrating put pen is solution and check it. If off to far recalibrate. Don’t just jump in and calibrate. Check it first so you know if it was off and how far.

PPM. 1061

Being an auto does not give much time for recovery. If photoperiod it would have a better chance. Oh well it is what it is. We’ll keep pushing her anyway.
Just put all in your back pocket for next time.
Is that 1061 with epsom. Make sure that when you fill res you mix what is in there well. Check ppm and calculate solution down so when added it does not raise ppm off the charts. Try to keep them where you are or a little lower.

Those 2 really bad leaves take them off.
Maybe a couple look bad on other side can’t see it that good. If that bad take them off.

Thanks for the advice

Greetings,
To much nitrogen. Flush with ph water. Let dry. Check run off for a level of E.C. and ph.
