Looks like overfeeding to me too. All those burnt tips that are on the bottom nodes too... if they were my plants I would assume I went too far with nutes.

6 Weeks in veg was the max for grow dots and that is what I did. Just been straight water with 3 milligrams of cal mag for about 2 gallons of water every other watering. Is the color on the one normal for this stage? Looks to be turning red almost. I'm color blind so might not be red.

When nutes get out of whack or ph then all sorts of problems appear. The copper color you see might be from the strain or the cold during the dark period but could also be phosphorus deficiency. The paleness and the burnt tips could be either the light or unbalanced nutrients. Calcium can lock nutrients which means the plant cant take them so even if you overfed you can have deficiencies.

What light are you using and at what distance? Tell me the model if possible so I can look for a PPFD chart.

Viper spectra ks 500 and the distance I'm not sure I used my phone to get it around 900 to a 1000 ppfd

1000 is good for some plants, some might be more sensitive. In any case they could be stressed due to the symptoms theyre showing, its usually recommended to lower intensity when things go a bit south, maybe it would be good to give them a little bit less, more like 800 and see how it goes. As for the nutes, if you only ammended for veg maybe you should start giving them a balanced NPK food. Are they losing lowe leaves that go dry? If so theyre hungry.

If the symptoms dont progress you can always try to go back to 900-1000 and see what happens.

I gave the full amount as directed on the bag of grow dots with was supposed to be good for 4 to 6 weeks in veg and 6 to 8 weeks in flower. I will turn the light back a bit and give it half a week or so and see if it gets any color back. Thanks for the advice.

Just quick perusing and I want to go back to the issues you were having a couple weeks ago with the high EC readings that wouldn't come down. That is how a salt accumulation acts. Even though you are watering regularly, there are some pockets that likely got dry and became hydrophobic so even when the coco is watered, it doesn't wicker into those dry areas. Occasionally the outer band of the pocket gets moistened and then we see that EC number rise and it's why we see it keep rising even though we are putting more water through, because that pocket is beginning to get diluted. The way out of the mess is to move a large volume of water very slowly through the medium until the EC number looks good.

What can happen is we see a runoff value and think it's good but it's a good practice to take a second reading after more water has come out and check if it's higher, lower or the same as your first reading, because it tells you a lot about what's going on in there.

Thanks for the knowledge. And also the ph flush is always lower than what I put in. I set my ph to around 6.2 and it come out around 5.4 to 5.6. The 2 time I watered I actually set the ph to 6.7 and it came out to 6.0. Not sure if it good or bad to do that just seen a video of a grower that used the technique.

So not sure of the strain was just a random seed that came from a random bud. Flipped the plant to 12/12 Jan 1. I'm trying to figure out about how much more time it needs. Seems to be further along than it should be but still have no clue. Was thinking like 8 week flower but not sure if it should go that long. Any thoughts? Here's a pic from this morning. Probably could have taken a few more pics but this is it.
