Sorry for lack of information but i basically just have some yellowing leaves and what appears as rust on the edge of my leaves sorta, my plants have been unusually wet lately (only needing to be watered like every 3-4 days vs every other day before) The only nutes i use are Pure bloom 1-4-5 and cal/mag if any more information is needed please ask and i will be happy to provide it

what do you mean base grow nutes? I use Pure bloom 1-4-5 http://www.botanicare.com/Pure-Blend-Pro-Soil-1-4-5-P49.aspx and basic cal/mag along with fox farm solubles and this is the first time i have ever had this problem happen to me in any stage (leaf in the picture if from plant 3 weeks into flower)

soil is ocean forest

i've never used any other nutes and never had any problems in the last year, i've never encountered this so i'm not sure what kind of def i'm looking @ i have looked at the charts but i don't really see where this falls into

well it looks like a Potassium def. to me and that would explain them slowing down on water intake.

i think the ph in my soil could be off, next time i water (tomorrow hopefully if they are dry) gonna flush with 50% nutes to see if that helps

i never heard of flushing with nutes.
Check the pH of your water, and flush your whole system with water that contains half the normal amount of nutrients and see if your plant starts showing signs of improvement.

just what i read on a few websites regarding the deficiency

the way you flush is to use 3 times the amount of water as the size of the pot. "if your plant is in a 1gal pot then you will need to flush it with 3 gal of water. then add 1/2 the nutes. ok
