@Bigpun, I'm a little skittish about bud rot so I'm leaving the fan on because keeping good airflow is more important to me now than a few browned leaves. The leaves on the same plant that faced away from the fan look fine, so I think the fan is responsible for a lot of it, although it's pretty clear that I overfed earlier on. Take care, bro.
@ElevatedThinking, Thanks, dude! I'm loving this grow, and am really impressed with this strain, with two out of four girls looking particularly nice. Psyched I got all girls and still have 8 seeds left in my pack of Crockett's Tangie!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS,thanks for your input. I agree these plants were lacking N from early on, and it's too late to do anything about it now. I do believe the burned leaves are not from overfertilizing but instead wind burn. These two plants are right in front of a tower fan and I noticed the leaves on the other side of the same plants don't have the brown spots.
@Mr_Positivo, I think your comments would apply if I were growing in soil but I believe I'm OK with this feed schedule because I'm growing in coco hempy buckets, a passive hydroponic method. Everything I've read about growing in hempy buckets says to water/feed using a drain-to-waste feed schedule and give them enough to get at least 10% runoff. I haven't checked the pH or conductivity of the runoff but I will next time I drain the reservoir. The 850 ppm I'm currently running is measured, and includes the CaMg I'm using at 4ml/gal I'm using. I've also read that you should water/feed every 2-3 days when the plants are small and up that to daily when the plants get big and drink a lot. It's worked well so far, with only a little brown at the very tips of the leaves.
I may dial this back to 700-800 ppm.
