Ahhh! What's wrong? (Emergency!)

My first grow ever.. And I can't seem to find what's wrong, maybe someone can help pin point or narrow it down for me.

i figured it could one of the few, and if it might be something not on the list still feel free to suggest it.

- Nutrient Burn, So I tried flushing with just my regular spring water. Didn't have much effect, still seems to be slowly spreading.

-Root bound, I checked the roots and we're completely wrapped around the bottom, so I thought maybe it was happening from lack of room to grow. So just moved it to a 3.7 gallon today.

- Also thought maybe it was a cal mag deficiency, so since the problem appeared I stop giving it big bloom and grow big, and went back to just spring water. And made a gallon with 1/2 the recommended dose of cal mag, and just fed it some today..

so I don't know if any of these were the problem and I corrected it. If none of these we're it, please offer suggestions..

Flushing is good but will take a while before you see results. Dont feed her for a while give the flush time to work. Maybe transplant to a larger container.
It took mine close to 2 weeks to start growing normal after over feeding and flushing.
Mine never had that look just curling leaves on the tops.

Looks like P, K and cal/mag def to me. I had a plant that looked just like yours. I used dyna-gro's foliage pro and it worked. Her buds are much fatter than her sisters. I don't worry about ph personally but a lot of others do. Start giving it a complete npk fert. ff grow big wasn't working for me but I'd give it some. How much were you giving it? The bad leaves aren't going to recover look to the new growth and for the problem to stop progressing. Be patient and try one thing at time. It might just be a nute whore like the one plant of mine. P def shows purple stems, K def shows in older leaves develop spots, turn dark yellow, wilt and die. I'm looking at Cervantes growers bible got it at the library. I'm glad I didn't kill my problem plant because she's a real fat greasy one. Good luck.

Ok this is very helpful from what I've just seen, my stems are showing some purple, so then I need to add some potassium or is it phosphate? And already added the cal mag today.. So a lil more clarification on the p def would come in handy.

Phosphorous is p potassium is k. I'd look into dyna gro's foliage pro. I asked for and received free samples of foliage pro and grow formulas. 1/4 teaspoon per gallon so it really goes a long way. It has cal and mag in it too. Use it for veg and flower. First you should get some grow big back into it I think if you have it on hand. Just don't rush into treatments and do lots of research. The search engine on riu isn't very good so google search things. It'll bring up threads on riu. http://forum.grasscity.com/sick-plants-problems/1115722-diagnose-your-deficiencies-here-easy-learning-table.html
