Leaf diagnosis request - burn or deficiency?

If you can't explain something, you probably don't get it either. And to just pull an explanation out of thin air and try to sell it is nonsense. The latest pics look pretty good to me, like perfect for that stage. I don't think you're accurate as I'm having a hard time seeing the problem. Except that the fert content listed appears to be too much chemistry. And that's all I see that is wrong. Just admit you don't know for sure that your explanation is accurate rather than continuing to pursue making me look wrong. Accurate diagnosis is necessary before you start typing.

I'll leave you to figure out the irony within your own words.

What a train-wreck of a thread.
OP, you had 2 very knowledgeable members try to help you at the beginning of this thread.

Couple of quick things...
Your plants are presenting a typical cal lockout due to an ion imbalance.
Plants use a lot of calcium and its immobile. The lock up likely started awhile ago.
Your PPM/EC is too high. I didn't run the numbers, but just by cursing over what you listed, I can see you're likely adding way too much K
( cant recall if floranectar is magnesium sulfate or potassium sulfate.)
For the Si, if you foliar it you can get the added benefits of SI while keeping it in your regimen and dropping it from your reservoir.
I use Power Si or Mills Vitalize (original Aptus Facilitator) but I foliar because silicic acid is very reactive. I like these brands for Si because they provide a higher bioavailable percentage of SI along with some aminos. I drop this around wk 2 of bloom.

I think you already know you've gotta simplify your feed for your next run. Maybe try running just a solid base nutrient and hold off on the additives until you've dialed it in.
And remember, manufacture feed charts are designed to market products. Ditch em and go by your EC instead.
Understanding your elemental inputs will take you much farther.

Oh and FTR, Dynagro has been around for a long time. Its not marketed toward cannabis growers (a plus) and its a complete formula that many growers have success with. Check out the side by side comparisons homebrewer has done. They're a great read

.This here is the best advise thus far. charts are trash, EC and PPMs are your guide as well as reading your plants.

What I meant was, hyrdro takes more monitoring than soil. DWC is very easy, you just have to keep an eye on it and perform more maintenance than soil.
