calcium deficiency,lockout?

The ph of the water run off must be lower or higher than the soil ph?

Cal/Mag def, N-tox, P/K def. You're overwatering, overnuting, and I think you have either lockout due to N abundance or you're just flushing away all your mag, phosphorus, and potassium.

Also, 300w, in my opinion, is going to underlight a plant 5 weeks into flower, but that'll just lessen yields and that's all your call.

i would love to try feeding that way but lights are on to much as I grow autos
yea she's a lil over nuted definitely not over watered her pot is light as hell when I water and that's every two days if anything i feel i should water more cause she drinks so fast and as for the lights got more on the way

A gallon isn't overwatering to you?

no and its under a gallon I do three quarts and a pint of water and her pot is light as hell after two days if anything I feel like I under water her

How big is the pot?

It doesn't look overwatered, but I'm near positive three quarts of water is too much, and that is probably a contributor to the mag, potassium, and phosphorus def.

5 gallon smart pot and I almost never get runoff
where do you see signs of potassium def? I'm.sure its calmag and slightly phosphorus but I don't know what you see that I don't haha

Calmag deficiency shows when the leaf is yellow except for the green veins. Your plant is showing yellow spots toward the edges and at random places on leaves, which is potassium and phosphorus. However, if you're lacking those, you are probably also lacking calcium and magnesium. And the only reason for this is either that you haven't been nuting, which you have already stated you have, OR that you are watering so much that you're leaching all of the nutrients away.

hmmmm yea I see what you mean but that's so strange cause I have obviously nute burned her and she drinks water like a fish! I never really get runoff so in my thinking that means no nutes are being flushed away but either way I'm gonna try and take nitrogen down alot and give her more p and k I fed her last night pretty light feeding and threw 3.5mls if calmag in there we'll see spreading stops or not

Nitrogen doesn't leach as easy.

what do you mean by doesn't leach as easy? leach what?

Leach = Water pushing/dragging nutes out of where they should be, towards the bottom, away from the roots, and out of the pot.

Did you ever learn what the final verdict was? I am facing a similar experience and almost positive that lack of run off when watering led to a high EC Nitrogen tox, which proceeded to lock out Cal. I've flushed down to 600 ppm and am now feeding with 1000 ppm, but my problem are persisting like they have too much N. Which shouldn't be the case now. Have wanted to feed with Cal/mag but do not want to further burn them with the available N that is in AN's cal/mag..
