I've fed all my houseplants tap water with a ppm of around 200. Never had any nutrient burn of them. "CalMag deficiency" comes to my mind when I am seeing your pictures (but I'm not 100% sure). But you have a so-called "drawstring issue" on your leaves, that is, they pull to one side, instead of being symmetrical. The progression of such a deficiency is the tacoing (folding up) of the leaves. I would give 50-75 ppm of CalMag in RO water. Good luck, buddy!

Calcium, and potassium is needed. Run your ph 5.8, 5.9. More cushion if it is drifting on you.

You aren't keeping your diary up-to-date so I have no idea what you're feeding her to get the ppm that high - but it's much too high for a plant this age! It should be down between 200 and 300... ease up on her! And keep you diary current... it'll help out when you've got questions/problems... Good luck

Super thin leafs at the Top The leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

To defoilate or not to defoilate.. that is the question!I've always heard that you shouldn't "defoilate" auto flower cannabis, especially if they're a sativa to boot. With that being said, (looking at my pics for reference) should I do more defoliation? Would doing so really increase my yield significantly? Thanks

Leaf diagnosis required green love potion almost a full 5wks into flower and today I noticed some rusty spots on a few fan leaves as well as purpling at the tips. The only leaves affected so far are the one pictured and they are near the bottom of the main cola, is this anything to worry about?
