I added more nitrogen this morning thinking it was a defiecency. I am running a 400w hps in a cabinet 72x18x36 I change res 1 a week. I am using cutting edge nuts along with big bud i use all nuts at about half to three quarter strenght. My temps are 74 to 79 %. I can not figure out what is going on. I am watering on timers every 3 to 4 hours.

You should have more bud by day 17 of flower. Possibly your missing another key nutrient, have you added any phosphorous? I am not very good with hydro, but I am 15 days into flower for my grow and I have a lot of buds.

Couldn't hurt to give it a good flush and some fresh nutes. Never know might turn things around for ya. I try to flush once a month during veg. You said that you've never flushed, how long did you veg for?

Hey jp, If I'm guessing nothing has changed like temps raising..

Hows the res temps they like it cool. How do the roots look? smell like lettuce?

Whats the PPM reading?

your plants are fine. they need nitrogen. for some reason, they did not get enough during veg, and now it is showing. if you added some, they will be fine, but dont add too much. the plants and buds will stretch with too much nitrogen during flower.

I just had the same thing happen to me, beginning my 3rd week of flowering. I treated it as a Nitrogen deficiency, I think my ladies were underfed. I jacked my nutrient strength up to 1400ppm and it looks like it did the trick. What happens is that in a hydro system the nutrients you feed with contain a percentage of nitrogen as NO3 and as NH4. Nitrogen as NH4 must be broken down by stuff that is in soil. In a chemical hydro, Nitrogen as NO3 is the only Nitrogen available to the plants. Since NO3 is absorbed very easy, it gets used up very fast and must be replenished often. You either need to feed them more or replace your res more often. What is the ppm of your nutrient solution? What nutes are you using?

it's most likely a nitrogen def., A lot of times when you switch to flower and immediately change your ferts over to phosphorus heavy bloom nutes, you aren't getting enough nitrogen. Changing over to flower will cause the plants to stretch again like they first did in veg. Too much nitrogen later in flower can definately be a problem and effect your finished product, but at the same time, having enough nitrogen the first 3 or 4 weeks of flower through the stretch is also crucial. There is also a possibility you aren't feeding enough, but if the plants were fine up until you began flowering and have steadily worsened since you began using flower nutes, it's more than likely a deficiency.

N - NITROGEN (N)

Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.

The other possibility could be the beginning of root rot. How are your roots looking? if they are white and healthy looking, they are probably good. If they are starting to turn more brownish tinted and getting slimy, you need a little hydrogen peroxide and to clean out the system.

Great suggestions everyone I believe I was battling a combination of things mild root rot being the main calprit added 30ml of 3% hydrogen P per gallon also up the nitrogen till the end of this week we are back on track.....

Are the bottoms of the plants getting enough light? If not, you might put some side lighting to get underneath. Otherwise, I agree with cephalopod and would try adding Cal-Mag to your nutrient solution after flushing.
