Leaves in flowering Turning Yellow and Crispy

Hi, once I transitioned my plants from Vege to Flowering, i neglected them for a week, and the leaves started turning yellow and crispy and drying up. Yet they are still flowering and turning more solid than fluffy. Some of the top leavers fell off after turning yellow and drying up. Ive replenished the water levels 2x per week and am not adding more than 600 ppm at each feeding which has been about every 10 days. pH in hydro is b/w 5.6-5.9.

3 weeks into flowering this is what the tops look like: Any idea on whats wrong with these plants? I also started using recharge to help revitalize the uptake of nutrients at all ph levels.

The tips indicate nute burn. Have you swapped out the res totally? Is your pH climbing indicating nute uptake or is is stable at the range you stated?

Yes I swapped out the res before inoculating with recharge and then nutrients. pH is table at 5.8-5.9. If this is nutrient burn, are my buds as big as they are going to get? i was hoping this was more of a deficiency seeing as the leaves were yellowing from the outteredges of the top leaves inward. This is my first DWC grow and Im 3 weeks into flowering now and am hoping this wont affect the overall quality of the bud. was going to end the last 3 weeks with overdrive before harvesting. i took some flash photos of the tops mto get rid of that yellow lighting. see below.


thanks!

Thats typical nute burn... just dilute the res and start over with low nutes check ph the plants might also have nute lock. If u give her very little nutes at this point she will bounce back and ur plants will double in size.
U can tank me later noob

Agree w Bones on this. Check for mineral salts inside your rez and water temps. Tbh depending on how it looks you may get away with just maintaining it. Personally I would dump and clean the rez out really good. Refill with cold, clear water. Add nutes at 1/2 strength and then ph it out at 5.5-5.8 then recheck it the next day to see if your ph/ppm has moved at all. If your ph went up and ppms went down then she's drinking at a steady rate. If your ph went down and ppms stayed the same(or increased) then your mix is too strong and you should dilute it slightly again with just ph'd water. Keep your rez as dark as possible to avoid unnecessary heat getting to your rez. Keep water temps between 65-70 if possible. Nything over 72-73F is getting too warm and you risk snagging a case of pythium/root rot. Hope this helps

You should be good now IMO. Your buds still look good and not fried.Hang in there and keep doing it.
