CRAP!!!! Ugggh!!! What the heck?!?
Okay... I got over-zealous last week with some “free” bloom samples and adjusting my compost teas blends. (I need to better control my impulses to experiment and “tweak” everything.) Ugh.
So last week, signs of leaf burn showed up out of nowhere!!!! I spent the whole week trying to figure out what was happening and halt the progression. (That’s why there is no pictures of that week)
Re-tested pH, moisture levels, light intensity and read through every grow article I could find.
My final diagnosis: it wasn’t caused from one thing. I basically added too much and too often of the “good stuff” and that resulted in nutrient burn.
I ended up doing a soil flush and just using water-only for a while. Also reduced the light intensity and dropped the temperature some. Time will tell just how bad I screwed up, but it shouldn’t be a total loss.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Patience grasshopper. Too much of a good thing is still bad.

Grow Questions
BigBaldBuddystarted grow question 4 years ago
Does topping “fast growing” colas during flowering (for light purposes) help or hinder flower dev and/or harvest?
Or should I sacrifice tallest ones to possible bleaching?
Canopy was level before flower, but a few colas took off, creating uneven SoG (6" diff)
Solved
Buds. Other
Plant. Too tall
Techniques. Topping

hi!
do not top them! i use to rise the shortest ones putting some bricks under the pots. that's the easiest way for me to have a leveled canopy.
cheers!

What do you think is the leaf issue?
Open to second opinions.
Most everything stayed the same, except:
> increased water: 2L to 3L per 7 gal of soil
> introduced a bloom booster
> increased volume of worm castings, molasses, mycrobes and ethylene to the tea
Solved
Leaves. Edges burnt
Leaves. Curl up

Nope the plant its not deficiency but its excess.I can tell form very thic leaves and dark green color also when there are too much nutrients tips of the leaves get burned and if you keep feeding the burnt will extend to the entire leave.Just fulsh with some water and keep just normal watering without nutes.At least for twho weeks

İnstead of topping, just supercrop (hst) the tallest branches as they are not fully into flowering.search on web but its basically crushing inner muscles of the stem and bendin it hard and you shoul tie it to keep that position.top of the branch should be looking downwards and only inner muscles need to crack.minor surface cracks are not that important but try to keep the stem in one piece. Topping is extremely risky for 2nd week of flower,plant needs time to push energy to remaining tops,no need to do it.supercrop/hst is the way to go

@HighRoller909, I supercropped them a week before flower, but a few main colas are out pacing the rest. I have raised the lights to compensate, but that just gives less intense light to the rest. In a few days I need to do some defoliation clean up, so I will try and tame those unruly taller colas. Thanks for the feedback.
