It is a nitrogen issue, possible ph lock out or not enough food. See how it is only affecting the lowest leaves right now? It will move up the plant slowly unless you feed it.
 
the food im using every watering has 1-4-5 so it is getting some nitrogen, the mg soils supply has probably been depleted. should i get more nitrogen food?

Overwatering. Clue is...."water when top of soil is dry"..get a watering schedule that makes your plant seek moisture......you also mention MG soil....if you're using that and nutes also, you've prob got nute lockout now....

I usually lost my plants when they began to look like that. Sorry man....I don't have a clue about fixing'em....I think you've got two or three things going on there making it a complex "WTF" prob.

Your fertilizer is too weak in N. That is a bloom fertilizer. The reason the plant got worse after the flush was because you leeched what N was in the soil, out. I don't think it is PH lock out or salt lock out because you flushed 4 days ago...

Here would be my plan of action...

Stop watering every other day. The soil is good for retaining water for several days. Let the pot dry out once and then lift it with both hands and memorize that weight. Never water again until the pot is that light again. You can also get a long two prong moisture meter from Lowes Garden Center.

Transplant. The soil has been leached of it's nutrients and the roots are likely near bound at this time. I'm fairly confident you have not re-potted recently, because those leaves are crying out for Nitrogen. New MG soil would have cured that. Bigger room for roots means bigger yield.

Replace Nutrient? Get a more complete plant food with a higher amount of N in it. What you are using is a good ratio for flowering or ripening. I even add a small dose of extra N in my grows about 2-3 weeks into flower because the plant uses a lot of it.
 
Thank you for your advice. I just got done with a grow where the plant did not need any more nutrients than the 1-4-5 during flowering. But perhaps this strain is different. It has been flowering for about 3 weeks. Dont worry I am not using a bloom fertilizer for veg :).
 
this happend to me basicly you have sufficated the roots by over watering it, i didnt have good drainage so the water just hanged around the bottom before i tried to save it it was to late the soil was so dam it was dripping. but i still smoked it though lol was very nice early harvest :P
