First tell hydro store guy to fly a kite... should resolve a lot of issues right there.
Where to start.... first to much light back that off until you see healthy growth and cut back to 18/6. Pushing plants hard when they have issues will only make things worse.
Stop flushing and stop adding any nutrients as suggest by emerald harvest and is good info.
You have a mix or organic and inorganic nutrients so the first flush suggested was appropriate but it will also cause issues for a but because once the salts are out you have next to no available nutrients left in the soil and a severely reduced microbe population to produce more. And on top of that at this point the soil may be low on organic nutrients.
There are vastly different practices for preferred organic soils and using synthetic nutrients in soil.
Ppm is a waste of time in organics IMO and often 2000ppm is seen in those soils with no issues. Not gonna get into why.
Ph is important if you keep flushing your also washing a significant amount of the buffering capacity out and its possible that you may need to add some lime. On the other hand you may just have to wait after flushing for the lime to start being broken down.
When water organic you dont want runoff as it will wash available nutrients out of the soil and want to keep soil moisture between 30-60%ish. If you let it get bone dry it will affect the microbes. If you keep it to wet you have o2 problems affecting the plants and microbes.
With synthetic since the nutrients are so available unlike organic that take time to break down you want to water until runoff to prevent a build up and let the soil dry to around 20-30% before watering again.
Tenp of watering should be the same as the twnpnof the rootzone.
Under LED room temp of 80f ish will benefit in uptake. Cold rootzones will slow uptake causing issues. So get em off the floor and raise temps.
The visual signs your seeing are probably from what you did a week ago. You have to give time to see if the changes your making are working.
At this point I would let them dry and not over water them to see how much if any nutrients are in that soil. If adding nutrients dont add more than 1/4 strength of you feel you need. There is no way to tell without a soil sample test other than correct you watering practices and see visually.
IMO you need to get a feel for watering. Maybe add some microbes or enzymes to the next feed to help process any organic nutrients left and see where that takes you over the next week.
During the first stage i definitely was watering to ma. Basically washing away nutrients. Thanks for the advice. So is emerald harvest a synthetic blend ? If so should I water to run off with it ? And what nutrient line would you suggest?First tell hydro store guy to fly a kite... should resolve a lot of issues right there.

I understand that burnt tips and mutated leaves are sign of too much nutrients. What are sign of not enough nutrients?This God dam phones autocorrect is shit.
He always dose A man to the rescue.... look up in the sky is it ..... oh no just a cloud .....I understand that burnt tips and mutated leaves are sign of too much nutrients. What are sign of not enough nutrients?
And how do I know when to transition into flower after problems are fixed ?
p.s last set of questions. And thank you so much. You helped me a lot.
Thank you broLooks over watered n cold root zone get the bags up off the tent floor creat an air gap under them warmer dryer roots aids in plant health. Regards OD.
