Hey everyone I have a LA Woman that is 4 weeks into flowering and I think she is dying! About two weeks ago I noticed a little browning on her leaves, so I flushed her with pH adjusted water. After doing so the signs got worse so I flushed her again and when it came time to water I gave her 1/4 strength nutes. Every time I look at her it is worse. I have trimmed off the leaves that are 50% or more damaged but the next day there will be more. I will post pics soon, can anyone help?

Check the roots, you may have root rot, in which case, get some Canna Rhizotonic and Cannazym and quick.... Can you post some photos and give us a look? Are you growing in soil, or hydro? Need a little bit more information....:-)

Is it just the big fan leaves or all leaves in general? Sounds like it could be a number of things. If you have pics it would help greatly.

They might even be hugry? When you flushed them, how much of the leaf was brown, and where at?
How % of nutes were you giving them and how long?

Hey everyone thanks for the response. I am growing in soil indoors, I am using the full line of fox farm nutes. At first I messed up and was giving her a full dose every watering I have now changed it to 1/4 to 1/2 strength. When I first noticed the browning it was on the older fan leaves around the middle of the plant and maybe on one or two leaves with a coverage of 5%.

You poor bugger!!!! Root rot sucks... I really think that, that is whats happening... If you act quickly it can be fixed...

Canna Rhizotonic for the roots

Canna Cannazym for important enzymes to help the plant and roots...;-)

How much peroxide do I use per gallon? Once I start doing this how fast do you see results? Does everyone agree that it looks like root rot? Do you think transplanting into a larger pot would help?

it looks like it could be nute burn to me honestly but I've never had it look that bad before but the fact that it kept getting worse after you flushed points to root rot but it could be it was just wilting because of excess water in the leaves try watering with less with a little peroxide

I water her every 6 to 7 days I use a moisture meter to check if she needs it. I have never seen root rot before so I'm still not sure. How much Hydrogen Peroxide do you use?

Thats the 3% stuff.

OK I just watered her with 1 gallon of water + 1 tbsp of hydrogen peroxide. I hope this works! I removed the plant from the pot to look at the roots and they looked fine, no mold or weird coloring or any thing. I am still thinking of moving her from a 2gl pot to a 3gl pot maybe that will help. The buds look ok(maybe a little small for her age but still good)it just seems to be affecting the fan leaves.

Hmm do you know your PH.

This is also sighns of a PH problem.

What about the leaves that look OK do they have yellowing or burning on the tips.

A PH problem would also lock out the plants ability to absorb nutes causing poor bud develpoment.

My pH is 6.5-6.8, the leaves that look OK have slight browning right on the very tip. When I flushed the first time I had a piece of crap pH meter I have since bought a way better one.

when you water, how much run off do you get? what is the ph of your runoff? what are the temps and humidity in your grow room? Also.. If usin Fox Farm Nutes or any other organic nute DO NOT USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!! The H.P will kill any and all the benificial micro organisms need for the nutes to work. Instead, try repotting altogether. Pull the whole plant out, carefully shake out all the soil and repot in new soil. It sucks to do, but its better than 3 months worth of work dying on ya.
