update

Ph keeps dropping below 6, I dont think flushing or using ph up is the answer. Instead i'll buffer the top layer and future soil mixes with crushed corals. Most of the fan leaves have brown tips, I believe this is the first sign of a zinc defeciency, however my nutes have 0.005% zinc so I'm guessing this is caused by improper ph levels creating nute locks.

The buds don't seem to be effected by the ph for now. Buds are still growing rapidly as of 3 nights ago, if I had to guess I'd say early flowering is finishing up and peak flowering stage is beginning.
 
most likely nute lockout due to salt buildup, which will drop ph very low. flush with a mix of lemon and baking soda. i usually do half a lemon and half a teaspoon of baking soda in 32 oz of water.

its hard to tell if we have true hungers or if we have burn. if you look at my thc bomb and blackout kush journal youll see telltale signs of nutrient burn/lockout due to too much cal and mag in the soil. hope you figure it out!

What if you already did? ;)

Micro defiencies bsides magnesium are pretty rare. Did you look up the symptoms and draw this conclusion? Fish Cake has a blog that has really good signs and symptoms. Good weed sir btw. :)
 
Good Morning and a great weed to you Crimson:)
 
Good weed Spimp, Thank you for sharing that fish cakes has a blog related to this. I sorta half ass drew up the conclusion lol. I did a little research and mainly compared the leaves to a chart to draw up a conclusion.

The PH is at 7 now without adding any coral as a buffer so I'll most likely continue with just straight water for a few more days.
 
very normal yellowing, and wow, is this really a cfl grow?! how long did you veg for again? when did the plant throw preflowers?
 
Hi Jeff, ya I'm not really sure myself. I feel the only safe route, is to flush and assume its something to do with nutes maybe over fertilizing and see if problems disappear. I think the new Miracle Grow fertilizer's are causing the problems, I might go back to the 20-20-20 solution at like 1/8 strength, It has a lot of micro nutrients the new nutes lack. I just don't want such a high Nitrogen fert so we'll see.


These are the symptoms and problems I found lately.


Left Plant Symptoms:

-Offcolored drainage water. Dark Yellow to Deep orange/Brown
-Low PH Below 6
-Possible Salt buildups
-Nute Lockout/defencies from low PH; Nitrogen and Phosphorous
-Brown leaf Tips
- Partial Brown pistil tips on most colas

Right Plant Symptoms:

-Low PH 6-6.2
-Offcolored Drainage water - Dark Yellow to Orange.
Some Leaf tips brown
 
readings below 5.8 will cause a nutrient lock out and I do think you are right about the phosporous being low.
:)I'm a bit gun shy about offering solutions to your problems Crimson tho.
to your Question you asked me..No I don't do clones but I should have:)
