Ok I have a question.
One of my leaves looks like it's going to be going to chlorosis. Over night I can see the leaf in question has begun to mottle in color and I've seen this on her before earlier in veg. Same with her mom. It happens when I feed with AACT, and with her mom and bottle nutes just about everything I did caused major de-leafing . This time I haven't changed anything. Water only with plenty of amendments in the soil already and she's been growing fabulously.
I'm getting the feeling touching the leaves in question may be affection them. I've been inspecting it for what I thought was some bites from a bug so fingering the fan for a few days has been going on. Has anyone had plants get repulsed from being touched? I got the feeling with the last one she might be sensitive to touch but poo pood the idea. One fan so far and not liking it!

plants get touched all the time... I dont think that is it. Send a pic, but I am already thinking about needing more calmag... just sayin... your soil has everything else.

I will. Lights are out now, back after 1:30 pm. Calcium did seem to help her mom. I never really figured that one out. It's one reason this one is here. I'd love to get this figured out, she's seems so sensitive. I bet if I (we ) find the center of the issue she'll accept an AACT without self defoliating. This one's a study I think.
As calcium goes, there's half teaspoon piles of ground oyster shell in the bottom of the pot. About 8 or 10 of them so she must know it's there. Spikes too, 2 veg and 2 flower ones. 3 weeks in the new pot as of yesterday. Pics in a few hours.

I read a cool article the other day suggesting that using soft rock phosphate to amend your soil holds the calcium from being leached out.

Looking good Otter! I’m sure you will get to the bottom of your leaf issue!!

Cheers Dutch! It's a beauty. Right back at you! We just got our early afternoon buzzon. Some blueberry auto from 420. Yum
The Stankberry gives great pain relief and is a good hybrid that I can smoke most any time. The DTF is my favorite daytime strain for pain relief and staying focused. I haven't tried the NL x Harlequin yet so I can't weigh in on that one yet. You can ask @DonChiefums20 how he likes his.....he recently harvested two of those plants.

The problem got worse over the 6 or 8 hours. Not ready for a trip to the ER but something's going sideways and I need it to stop. Pics in a moment.
One thing I'm considering is watering frequency. I can underwater a plant that doesn't tell me it needs water in a language I can understand. This one is in 15 gal cloth pot and watered every 6 days with 3 gallons as I thought I saw wilt on the 6th day. Usually the days become less over 3 weeks. More water and more frequency is the norm. This one has increased the amount but not the frequency. I wonder if I'm killing my micro life or making her wait too long for water. She sits 3 feet around and wants to grow. Today she's darker green where it was light and growing profusely yesterday and faster and lighter the day before. Maybe the color at the tips growing forward should be my indicator? Todays day 5 I'm going in early. The new growth is too green. You might have to pinch the pics out and make them bigger. The problem is just starting to show. Please feel free to have ideas too.

First, I've got to say you've got a good eye-I don't think I'd have noticed that if it were on my plants.
Second,I suck at diagnosing nute problems...
Third,I don't know if too much nitrogen is possible in LOS,but with the tip burn and dark green+blotchiness on some of the leaves,that's what it looks like to me...It just doesn't look right to be water-related....
Fourth, That plant is effing beautiful!!

I agree with carcass, I think she's doing great. There's a subtle sullen look about her, but I think that is environment related. That aside, and in hydro with the ability to tweak the nutes, I still see the same minor deficiency symptoms that I've concluded to be a minor P def and a minor Ca def. P is complicated in that plants still do well when there's less available than preferred. Ca is complicated for a few different reasons and any of several factors can cause it to be uptaken less such as a cationic imbalance between Ca and Mg or K, and sometimes even NH4. RH in the air greatly affects Cal's ability to move in the phloem as constant transpiration is needed for Ca to move right. And of course PH will affect Ca's ability to be taken in. I sort of believe this might be less of a concern in soil, but I'm still learning things when I can and didn't learn much about soils yet.
When watering, are you checking the weight of the pot to verify she drank her previous portions? Also, I can't remember, but are you growing in DBHBB?
Edit - I knew I forgot one, but when P is too high, it can complex with the Ca and cancel them both out, lol. Soil microbes can break them back apart and feed them to the roots down the road, but the damage can already have been done. Ca doesn't move as good as many other elements, most in fact, if not all. Once again, still learning.

Thanks. I struggle too. It's mostly near the tops but it looks different today all over.

I found this below. Mine is doing this . Chronic under-watering. I'm going down right now and give her some water. It's the 5th day, one day early. Then If symptoms stay or improve I'll change the regular way I water this plant. Still open for ideas please.
The curling/clawing and burnt tips on the following two plants may look like it could be caused by another problem, but in this case the symptoms are the result of the plant being regularly under-watered

6 days is too long to go without watering... the top roots will go dormant. You want to come in with a mini watering every 3 days or so while you are waiting for the bottom to dry out. Your goal is to sync up top and bottom and finally get to a 3 day or so watering cycle, at the most. Your extended burned looking tips and clawing looks to be a potassium deficiency.

Maybe sulfur too?
