I never went over a 1000 ppm with any of the autos I have grown. Maybe I will next grow. Looking good.

yeah, I wasn't planning to. they look fine at 1030 and I've accidently went up to 1200 ppm once when the water dropped and they looked fine. I just want to see if these girls can handle high ppm tolerance just for a day or two and see if they show signs of any burning. My guess is they will be fine. But I'm not a believer in maxing your ppm either. So I just wanted to see what happens

Strange, water level is lower but I'm at 930ppm. I just added reg ph water to the mix and dropped it even a bit. I'm gonna see if the ppm goes down or up then. No signs of burn
780 ppm, 87 temp, 73% humidity today when I first checked it for some reason I'm guessing a pretty great temp fluctuation happened today, CO2 not doing much and can't replace ATM (outta sugar), 5.8 ph
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Launch Thanks TBM for turning me on to the product

Nute Burn All 3 plants are showing signs. Just thought I'd peep in at them today for some reason. Maxi is showing the worst, Jill second and then Lil Bee (prolly bc she's in later flowering) Maxi shows in leaf edges and in top most buds, Jill somewhat but not as bad, Lil Bee (mostly just in a few leaves with spotting edges)
Glad I decided to drop it down last night even though they didn't show signs, I even added another half gallon of ph'd water to my res. to try to bring it down a bit more. I was at 930 ppm before I added half gallon.
too high PPM and no CO2 which may account also from CDC's thoughts. So, it does take about 1 full day to see any stresses of over doing or under doing.
I'll try to post a couple of pics tonight when their lights flip back on.

I would get them back under CO2 as soon as you can CO2 directly affects how much a plant can handle without burn, you may be able to ke the PPM where its at and solve the burn by just adding the CO2 that they are used to. I think the drop in CO2 levels and the raise in PPM combined to cause the burn.

Thanks Androth, no worries though, I did it to test where I was with my nutes anyway to see about how far I was from actually burning and how my different plants would respond, mostly out of fun and research that might be used by someone else as well. They have time to recover and I wasn't trying to kill them so they will be fine. I'm sure.
I'll be changing the res. completely soon, and I will try to pick up sugar for CO2.
Until Res change they will run at about 900 ppm. After res change I will set my max full water to 800ppm to give lee-way for when water drops and nutes may raise. so I should pretty much always be under 980 ppm and above 600 between res. changes for my Dutch Master's nutes for flowering.
I'll probably shoot for 500 or 600 during my veg. depends if it's early or late.

Caught in time. No problem. Even though it is fixed there maybe some more damage to show in the next couple days.

12/12 Day 27 with some pics of burn:
no worries guys
they're ok. It's not bad. I was kinda expecting it a little. I wanted to see my boundary in action, but not to push it to the brink just to see it. And so I did.
820ppm, 89 temps, 73% humidity?, 5.9ph
Getting a few hairs supposedly unfertilized on Lil Bee dying back. I guess I'll be flushing soon (A week maybe 2, I'm gonna really just wait till the seeds show). I believe I may be getting in a somewhat embarrassing crop on her, I guess we'll see.

Update Res Change and Pics 12/12 Day 28:
50%, 5.8ph, 830ppm, CO2 Bubbled, 89 temp
New water mix: 3.5 gallon Tap-230ppm, 1 Tbs Molasses, 3 Tbs Dutch Masters Flower One, .5 Tbs Dutch Master One Grow (for the seeds), 2 Tsp. of Big Up Powder (Humboldt?). ph came out right at 5.9- 6.0 and 830 ppm
