Its exactly 2 weeks and 3 days into flowering my 4 plants. The only problem is a few days ago i noticed (seen in pictures) That my Hindu Kush's leaves at the top cola near the buds are starting to look like they are curling down and under and they are turning light green and loosing their full body and turning really jagged with razor like edges.
The other problem is that some of the leaves on my hindu have brown spots that doesn't look like nute burn.
My temp is 77 and my humidity is at 30. Heat doesn't seem to be the issue. I have a fan blowing on the canopy to keep the tops cool.
My ph is at 6.5. Im new to this, I have no clue and i keep coming up with answers that don't look right. any help or advice? thanks.

when was the last time you cleaned the res? ph should be a bit lower judging by your pic it should have a light orange tint to it. ph should stay between 5.2 and 5.8 for hydro setups. a digital meter would come in quite useful. I would clean rez, add fresh water ph'd to around 5.5 and wait a week then add nutes at a small dose. do you have a airstone in the res?

i haven't cleaned the rez, i heard it can stunt thier growth. I usually let them drink all the water and then refill, I haven't literally taken my hand and cleaned anything. I do have a air stone in it. The weird thing is , a lot of you say you use a little nutes. Ever since they have been vegging ive been using nutes and kelp everytime i refill the rez. When i would just refill with ph balanced water they seemed like they were use to the high nute regimen, and seemed very sad, when i refill with nutes they become perky and green and the leaves seem perky. I dont know. I haven't caused them much nute burn from what i see. Its just those top leaves that curl downward and are looking razor like which worries me, thanks tho.any other advice??

you let the whole res empty? your ph is off which will cause all types of problems. your res should never empty. and should be cleaned at least every 2 weeks. salts and nutes will build up on the walls. I said to start off at 1/4th strength so you dont stress the plant after cleaning the res and adjusting the ph with the fresh water. you can up the dose of the nutes after the plant heals. adding more nutes when ph is off will cause more problems. plus plants enjoy fresh water some times

Serious nute burn!!
your plant is going crazy right now I say u flush for right now and you can try to give the 1/4 tspn molasses after a week thats what I did. It will help repair some damage and add weight to the buds just a suggestion!!!

This coming from the nute burn king I learned though and still am!!!
