Well, you haven't gotten a response yet again. I can't speak for everybody, but I can tell you why I haven't yet.

It's not obvious to me. The pics don't show a severe condition from what I can see. Present, but not severe. I could say from two different pics that it might be a toxicity or deficiency. It's just not clear, and I don't like guessing at advice, so I didn't reply. The fact that you're getting views means ppl are trying. It might become more obvious if it worsens, but hopefully somebody here can diagnose it for you before it gets to that.

hmm ok so what i see is retared growth and a lil yellowing is that correct? or is like the leaves just shrivel up? and about what % of the bottom is fucked up? the only thing i could thnik of is some strains dont like 24/7 lights to much or maybe she just got to tall for the light and the bottom is paying for it

i would say about 5% of the plant is damaged at the bottom, and getting worse(slowly)

i dont really see any retarded growth, a few weeks ago she didnt get water for almost 2 days and wilted over, but it made a very good recovery from that, no real retarded growth .. just shriveling up


funny you say that about the lights being on 24/7 because they are...... only reason was because it got to cold when the lights went off... but i moved my plant upstairs about a week ago and i have not tried dropping it down to 18 hours of light

Like how overboard??? There's some N in cal-mag . . . . Also, too much cal-mag can lock everything else out.

Still, things don't look that bad, especially since it's just a mother.

welll... whatever it is killing my plant leaf by leaf so i do consider it quite bad.

re-calibrated my ph meter and ph is at 5.9... so i shouldnt be having nute lock out right? ... ppm still at a steady 1000 still

took some more before and after pics when i was trimming today... the first 2 pics you kind of have to look deep into the plant to see what is going on... second pic you can see some of the leaves have just crumbled away but yet the other have of the leaf is fine


have to wait a couple days to try and flush it ... been using a brita to get distilled water.. that gave out... going to get an r/o system

just goggled it and looked around for a bit .. cant find anything negative on using a brita


it should be ok to use tap water if i adjust the ph and ppm right?until i get an r/o system

Looks like low humidity

really? don't be ridicules If it was humidity they whole plant would be suffering , if you don't know don t post .

to the man with the plant problem, you see how the leafs start to turn color :from the tip, then the outside edges first. that is a sign of over fertilization or as people here like to call it here nute-burn, or salt build up
The fix:
Flush you plant. Just replace your rez with fresh water for a day or 2
add your nutes, less than last time, just because your book say it needs to be 1000ppm it's not always true. It is really dependent on the plant and species .
