4 weeks into flower and leaves are dying at a highrate

Hello! Im growing the strain crystal queen and she's killing off fan leaves at a high rate, they turn brown and 100% crispy but what i find really strange is that she doesnt shed them when the leaf is dead, when I take them off its like im taking a healthy leaf.

Some info on me and the setup.

Its my first time growing, i have only the knowledge ive read from the internet and mostly rollitup & Icmag. That being said Im growing in soil, 600w hps. the temp varies from 26 degrees celcius to 27 degrees celcius and drops to 22 degrees celcius at night time. The RH stays around 35-42% usually on 40%. Pot size is 42 Litres 11 or 12 gal.

Its been 28 days since I flipped the switch and those leaves just die off maybe 4 a day since 2 weeks ago. I have a ph meter, i always adjust the ph to 6.5 done so since day 1. Planted the seed in late may. The nutrients i feed is 6 ML Gh flora micro per galon and 9 ML gh flora bloom per galon. On day 16 i added a teaspoon powder Koolbloom. I feed and water back to back when i feel the pot is lighter and easier to pick up. Since this happened i upped the nutrients to 8 ML micro and 16 ML Bloom and I feed her a little sooner than usual this last time. When I water or feed there's usually 20% run off aswell. Buds are forming and growing trichombes are appearing more and more everyday. But theese leaves falling off are making me worried and I dont think the plant likes when i worry. I live below a mountain in norway and get my water from a well.. putting up pictures below.

sounds like you're giving too much fert.

The rain helped my plants. Try watering with straight water. I did that and am foliar feeding lightly until I feel the soil is ready. I use organic nutrients, but even still things can get weird.

Have you been feeding flower nutes since the day you flipped?

Sounds like a very large pot. Maybe the soil stays wet too long.

Ive kept the regular nute schedual that i had through 3 months of vegetation. 6 ml micro & 9 ml bloom per galon. On day 16 i added one teaspoon koolbloom powder on 3 galons wich is 1/3 of the recommended ammount. Only once tho, i have another plant right next to it wich is considerably smaller like half the size of this one. And that one seems to be doing much better. They get the same nutrient schedual ( only diffrence is strain ).

If water stayed because the pot is too big wouldnt it take a while before it felt lighter? It feels dry to when i lift her 3-4 days after watering. Im thinking it might be rootbound rather than have too much space if anything. Does overwatering lead too leaves yellowing and browning , it goes like this usually: One leaf has maybe 7-9 blades comimg out of it, the yellowing starts on the blade located to right and maybe half a day after it goes yellow it starts going brown so the leaf has 6 green blades 2 yellow where 1 is crisped brown if this makes any sense?

Also if it was nutrient burn, wouldnt that start off by showing tips of nee growth going yellow first (usually all the top fan leaves get it first from my experience. I could be wrong here so correct me if thats the case).

Aaaaand to the first one, should i collect rainwater u say? Thats not a bad idea

fried leaves from lack of N and it looks like you are either using r/o or distilled water

No but under watering does , when the pot is allowed to dry to much too often salts build in there and stress the root system leading to salt burn, leaf drop and N lockout. You should be concerned. The damage is done now remember this next grow. Also try a better medium.

The spreading seems to have stopped after i upped the nutrients and feed a little earlier this time.

Now that the damage is done as you say, is there nothing I can do to salvage the situation flushing and feeding a weaker nutrient solution? Or is the plant going to die?
