This is my first grow and Supposedly this is a "magic crystal" plant which is a strain of White widow and cali orange.

Im growing one plant just because its my first time and experimenting....

The medium is about 60%peat moss, 20% perlite, 20% vermiculite in a one gallon pot (pot may be too small as well)

I water once every other day

Its now about 4 weeks into flowering and the leaves just took a dump on me. i have curling at the end of leaves, brownish spots, and smaller leaves are turning yellow and most of the bigger fan leaves turned yellow and died already.

I'm using a 400watt HPS

I flushed it with 2 gal of pH balanced water of around 6.5 ish (used pH testing strips so its not exact) and i don't think its improving at all

the flowering nutrient i use is 1-8-7

Im guessing its a potassium deficiency but i could be wrong.

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated and i uploaded pictures for you to take a look.

Try repotting it for starters. I think you will want about at least a 2.5 to 3 gallon pot (about 1 gallon per month it will take till harvest). This also helps with stabilizing the pH and distribution of nutes throughout the root ball which I am guessing will be pretty root bound by now.

When did you do the flush? (may take a few days to notice the difference i.e. no more extra leaves curling up)

thanks for your advice. you make a good point. i flushed it 2 days before i posted this thread. but yeah, i'll try repotting it and see what happens.....

i wanted to stick with that pot and hope it went well until harvest, but i guess not.

im not a fan of repotting, i end up making the biggest mess.
