High jirjoo, This is nutrientburn due overfeeding. You give waaay too much nutrients. You need to flush the nutrients out of the soil and give only 50% of the nutrients that you gave her before after flushing. I will explain you how to flush the soil. You can do this flushing by slowly pour water pH 6.2 onto the top of the soil, allowing it to drain freely from the bottom of the pot. Pour slowly, so the water doesn't overflow from the top of the pot. Use approximately four times the pot's volume in water to flush the soil. For example, use 1 gallon of water for a 1 quart pot. After the flushing you need to let the soil (almost) dry out completely. From there you can start giving water with pH 6.2 and nutrients but do not give more then 50% of the nutrients that you gave before!

Thank you all , I was giving them a mix of magnesium sulfate (1 teaspoon), pwedered eggshells and banana peals (1 tea spoon) and a table spoon of Urea- Premium Urea Fertilizer for Plants 46-0-0 mixed in 4L of water... Ive flushed waiting for soil to dry and will cut the urea mix out and replace with 1 teaspoon of potash and up the water to 8L...

I don't see any information in your diary about the nutes you're giving her... but you've overloaded her with nitrogen and this is now starting to cause lots of problems - one being the start of a calcium or magnesium deficiency. Excess nitrogen can cause a lockout of these vital nutrients so just giving her cal/mag is NOT going to solve your problem... You'll need to flush... since you're growing in 8 gallon pots, you need to run 24 gallons of pH'd water through each pot... with the last two gallons, add 1/2 strength nutes (but not the nutes that are the heaviest in nitrogen - don't use any of them). Let them dry out and resume your normal water/feed/water schedule. I would also urge you to examine the nutes you're giving and cut back any that have a heavy N level to about 1/4 strength or consider ditching them altogether since they are now in flower... Good luck!

Its burnt. Less feed = Happier Plant Just that simple. back off on all feedings and just give them water. Could alwats try a flush if its really bad, your in peat moss mainly so can count that like hydro, Best Of Luck! ***disclaimer, multiple people are answering all questions as there is a contest called GOTM, when a user is selected as the answer they get a point.

Looks like nutrient burn. Only water with pH'ed water for a few waterings and then see how it is doing. If it looks like it's recovering, go half strength on nutes until it looks like it can handle more. Good luck. I hope this helps.
