Going to disagree with my growmies here - I don't think you're overfeeding except the calmag which I think you've tripled what is recommended - dial it back to 1 tsp/gallon (and this should be given ONLY once a week)... but I am confused as to why you mix up the nutrient line. Pick one brand and stick with it unless it's a specific "this is all we do" kind of nute like Terpinator... each brand formulates their nutes to be complimentary to themselves. You're using Fox Farm (Big Bloom, CalMag) as do I ... and I will really disagree with my growmie's advice to add Grow Big... I find I use only scant GrowBig early in my plant's life and then actually cut it out by the time they're the age of yours... HOWEVER, I also add Tiger Bloom which gives a small dose of nitrogen (GrowBig has much more nitrogen and plants in flower do not need a whole ton of it). And you'll see, if you look at my recent diaries, that I use DOUBLE the Big Bloom you are using ... and even use it as the main nute when my plants are small. Bottom line, for me, on your nutes is that you may have an odd mixture of nutes that might be working against each other... you'd have to do a good analysis of the chemical compositions to see if you're doing anything wrong there - and if you simply stick to one nute line and follow their schedule, you wouldn't need to be a chemical engineer! With all that said, I think the MAIN problem will be solved by what you have already done - raising your lights... In general, your grow looks really good and you should be pleased! Good luck!

This is burning from feeding too much or too often, or both. It is not a heat related issue.

And forgot to mention even tho your temps would be in range of ~22-25C plants can start showing signs of heat stress when excess light is converted to the heat. When the plant inner temperature rises it's forced to transpire more and due this Ca deficiency symptoms may appear. Plant needs to absorb more K to help itself to cool down and K has antagonistic effect with Calcium. Everything is related together at the end of the day. Usually it's best to start from their environments which you can adjust the most. Tent evinronmemt & rhizosphere environment - get them both in check first. 👍

Hi. Don't know what these home grower "floriculturists" argue with each other here. 😅😂 You asked a question and youre getting a quick education because some1 happened to read north Cal.edu study from Google. 😂 But yeah it looks like a too intense light. Especially some of the top buds. I'd guess your VPD threw off which has also been causing a lack of Cal & Mg (from the beginning of the flowering) which may have led to a bigger lockout. Ca is absorbed passively so any excess cations, such as excess amount of K or ammonium N may hinder Calcium uptake even more. Any more CalMag prob wont help. Lowering the amount of P&K feed and dimming the light could solve it byself. Also next couple of irrigations with mild nutrient solution and pH'd between 6.5-7 could wash some excess salts off from your soil and increase pH. (I'd guess if you'd do a slurry test your soil pH would be something between 5-5.5)

a whole ton of nitrogen is not needed during flowering? a whole ton of anything is not needed, ever. nitrogen is essential for chlorophyll production and amino acid and enzyme synthesis and cell division in plants. cell division like stretching or flowers fattening up and stuff. nitrogen is needed all the way and more than phosporus too :) north carolina state university suggests using 10 to 20 times higher nitrogen and potassium all the way till harvest. that basically means 10-1-10 as npk ratios if you wanna feed them a phosporus rich diet. these are the recommended ratios by floriculturists. scientists who specialize on flowers for fucks sake. nitrogen is not needed in flowering yeah sure :Dd

my man if the ratios on your diary are correct as ml/l you’re way overfeeding. plus i see you have no grow nutrients in the mix which is just not gonna work. you have this big bloom nutrient and its always a good idea to stick with a single line of nutrients and use per the schedule because they’re designed to be used by that. big bloom should be used with grow big for example, its designed to be used that way to sustain healthy growth. and your nutrient doses are even higher than the max recommended amounts but it should be half of whats been suggested in the schedule at max. at this point i’d add grow nutrient ditch the cal mag completely and feed 1/3rd of the recommended amount in the schedule. mix a batch of nutrients with big grow as per the feed schedule recommends but at 1/3rd strength and flush them with it. that means water till you get a good amount of runoff. and keep feeding 1/3 strength throughout this grow per the schedule.

I would say it's more of a nuturent toxicity. Stick with pH water for a few watering and dial back your nuturents.
