Looks like your ph in your medium went very low, locking out several minerals and burning the plant. More than likely cause would be over feeding. Salt build up.

So what to fix this

 

[Zombie420smok]

Looks like potassium defiecency at first glance. Noticed any bugs?

None the leaf is messed up from me taking clones I snipped accidental

So what to fix this

Flush the shit out of your medium at ph 7. Then lighten up your feed rate, try cutting down to half strength for awhile.

And it's a little hard to tell from the pic. Are all the leaves affected or just the upper leaves as it could also be light burn. If your led is too close!!!

Like straight water or sledge hammer flush? And water ph7 or run off 7

My led is like 2 feet away I had light burn last time this is forsure different

Straight water PH 7 test your run off when you do it until your back in range. If you have a meter test the initial run off, I'll bet it's real low.

now I've never flushed straight water before do I just use a shit ton or do I just keep watering until one day it's good

 

[TheMadDabber]

I guess I always assume ppl check Ph first. Ph. Ph ph good point most times displays as nute probs cause your plant cannot absorb the right nutes if Ph is outta range....

Usually takes 3 times the amount of water as the size of your pot, but monitor your ph as your going.

Ya and at recommended feed levels to often will cause salts to build up, that's what causes the ph in your medium to drop, screws the buffer out as well. You want it a little higher in flower anyway .

 

[SwAggNiFiCeNt]

I should check my run off on tomorrow. Still haven't dome it yet. Only when I mix their nutes I check. I made a gallon mix a few days ago and didn't use the whole thing then a day or two later I checked ph n it had gone up.

Well that going up problem didn't hurt you, it's locked up from low medium ph.

 

[SwAggNiFiCeNt]

When it went up I used a bit of ph down

Sorry swag I quoted your post thinking it was the other, lol. Your case is quite different. Just keep up on your ph, you'll be fine.

Ok so I ran 9 two liters in a three gallon pot and the ph doesn't even seem to be moved it is low but I also don't want to kill the plant from watering more and more

Your better off to hit it until its corrected, then you can let it dry out some. If you don't the problem will only get worse. What's your run off PH at ?

 

[4Dutchess]

Yea I didnt know how many drops to put in either and I didnt see anything online. So I just kinda let the plants talk to me and its better to be under than over and cause harm. Those plants look damn good. Ill take a couple pics of my outdoor currently to show you. Have you heard of azetrol

I never heard of Azetrol. I just orderd some predatory mites, Califoinias something. Those are for the tent. My trim buddy just got here and were stripping all thats small and damaged off the yard grow. So I got to go. Great Day and Great Holiday!!

Im no expert but Im sure a flush is 2-3 times more water than you usually use, not 3 times the pot size. So a 5 gal pot gets flushed with 15 gal of water? Way too much.

Actually from reading the threads on here I have to say that 15 gal to a five gallon pot is right. Also not an expert but of the ppl I've seen on here that I would consider experts near all would agree 3xs the pot size. Or at least the volume of medium in the pot
