Cream auto from Growers Choice. Week 9 from seed, 5 weeks into flower. The issue you see was only on a few top leaves but now is getting widespread. My first ever grow had no such issues till now. Only thing I can think of is I switched from spring water to tap. See more....

I don't know what you're growing on.... if it's just coco, then no need to Flush! just change the solution, set pH to 5.8 like for hydroponics during flowering! 👌 And water it with runoff, measure the ppm of the solution you're pouring and the drainage! compare, you'll find out if it's eating or if it's choked... definitely need acidic water, it likes to drink a bit sour ✊😇

Bro, you're not the only one dealing with this today! You've had problems for a while, you're not the only one who reached out now that it's such a NIGHTMARE! Nitrogen overdose, already at the stage of saturation, the tissues are trying to die off, I see that the leaves at the bottom are glossy and very green! This problem has been with you for a long time, my friend! At first, your plant was very green and beautiful, but everything went sideways with flowering! The stems of the leaves are red - phosphorus deficiency, it's blocked by nitrogen overdose! This is a disaster! It's one thing after another! You need a flush technique and definitely add fresh soil on top if the flush is strong! 👆 Check your runoff ppm during the flush! Reduce the Gro supplement by 4 times! Increase the Bloom supplement by 3 times! The ratio should be 1:4 Gro:Bloom! Give 50% of the recommended fertilizer dose from the manufacturer!!! ✊😇 Good luck, my friend! I hope you save it... but it's a tough one 👆

Hey! This looks she might have a calcium deficiency, are you using Calmag? Could also be root problems or PH fluctuations.. After switching to tap water, are you still controlling the PH when feeding? Good luck and Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Too me this is not ph.. I'll tell you why every time I see excess ph problems in my hydroponic set ups it almost always has drooping foliage... I don't see this here... Which tells me your balance is off with your nutrients. I think your tap water has a lot of Calcium in it that's your problem... I don't ph my soil grows.. My grow friends do not ph their soil grows... Ph soil grows is a really weird thing to do and might only be really required if you have ph out of 7 range.. My ph is 7 it goes into Acidic soil the soil and the water make for a balanced ph. PH is really important in hydroponics.. Plants in soil have been self-regulating there own ph for thousands of years..

No diary so just guessing Tap water is fine but you MUST check PH no matter the source of water. Sooner or later you get this if its not done. Have to keep the pens calibrated also , found that out the hard way. No getting around it Calcium is locked out which says PH was below its range as I dont think there is a practical limit on it on the alkaline side.

Sounds like you nailed your own problem. Add that cal mag back in and either go back to the bottled or get some pH down for the tap. ✌️

Always used bottled spring water never checked pH. Never an issue. Recently switched to tap water that I let sit overnight but again never checked ph. Seems my tap water is a bit alkaline around 7 or perhaps even higher. So I went back to spring water today, pH around 6 and flushed the heck out of her with a few gallons pure water. I wonder if high pH from tap water locked out minerals and I have a cal mag deficiency? I feed with Neptune’s harvest fish emulsion (0.5 tsp per gallon) and lately added canna terra Flores 15mL per gallon. I stopped cal mag when I switched to tap water two weeks ago, which could also be an issue. When I used cal mag (GH calimagic) I used 0.5 tsp per gallon. She’s in FFOF in a 3 gal fabric pot. Thanks in advance for any help
