I've looked through the stickies I just cant figure out the issue. Only fed tigerbloom every other feeding and is about three week onto flower.. if I cant figure out what's wrong she wont make it. Ph in 6.5 as well as runoff.

Close up of the worst blade. It seems to be affecting fan leaves only. Am I feeding her enough or to muxh im so lost I've even tried to flush reset ph to 6.5 in and out and ease back into feeding. Seemed to get better but that was only last watering. I watered tonight with straight 6.5 water. I was thinking mag but would it have the checkered brown spots? Also if I need cal is there anyr hi around a typical house that can provide it? I have to order all my grow stuff as this town doesnt even know what hydro is must less have a store

Let me check. Nitrogen Def in flowering though? 2-8-4 is tiger npk. Thinking of adding big bloom when I use distilled but the npk is almost non existant so it couldn't hurt

Well as i understand it, it's common for leaves to turn yellow and begin dying towards the end of bloom. During flower the plant pulls nutrients and sugars from its self to feed the flowering process. The plants ultimate goal in life is to flower, produce seeds, then die. So basically what she's doing is pulling resources from somewhere she doesnt need them anymore and putting them towards budding.

Its only been in flower like two weeks. Im stumped but I gotta figure something out. I got some 15-30-15 fert fox farm trio big bloom and tiger bloom and grow big, molasses epsom salt. Surely I can fix this with the limited stuffI have

Here I found this little bit on another forum.

Unlike a magnesium deficiency, nitrogen def will start from the tips and work its way back to the leaf node. Nitrogen and Magnesium get confused. The best way to tell them apart is, nitrogen deficiency starts around the tips and works its way to the back of the leaves, where a magnesium deficiency will cover the entire outer part of the leave and make the entire leaves yellow leaving the veins to stay green. If your plants are having a slow growth rate and have yellowing of the leaves, then most likely it’s a nitrogen deficiency.
Towards the middle to end of flowering stages, the plant will show a nitrogen deficiency almost always. This process is completelynormal and just let the plant naturally yellow out as it uses it's stored nutrients. This actually helps you by getting ready for final flushing and then harvesting. At this point DO NOT not use nitrogen to fix the problem. The yellowing leaves will then eventually drop off after the plant is done with them.

Parts affected by a nitrogen deficiency are: Older foliage, going to whole plant, Petioles (rare) cases.

She's definately taking up a good feed of nitrogen at the present. The plant suffered earlier with a deficioncy,lockout or missed waterings at some point. I would give it straight water for a while. The damaged leaves cannot be repaired. A lack of good drainage can cause similiar problems and overwatering also. There are lots of things that can happen which will cause the plant to expend its fans in an effort to reestablish a proper rootbase.

N deficient....lol

Happened to my plants as well in about week 3 of flower, resolved by giving it a feeding of veg nutes instead of flower nutes

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.

So the 15-30-15 should fix her? And yes she had problems because I tried to use mg with auto feed and flushed it before use for about an hour completely. She was ok and then this starte. I have alot of holes in the bottom I drilled like thirty maybe. And I always use the weight test with the inch of dry top soil ajd its usually right at three days Nd I alternate water then I just started feeding flower nutes Bout a week ago after the buds were visable. Tiger bloom only so far

Or I teied straight water instead of feed and she got worse so im thinkin it may be nitrogen def but I figured the tigerbloom would work but guess its completly dry it seems. I hope the yeild doesnt suffer bad its the onlyn plant under my 600hps I got three more vegging for when this bad seed is done. The three are northern lights fem the bag seed was a test run

Sounds good, just don't go crazy with the veg nutes/N though - just once should be fine. Your plant will naturally start to pull the nitrogen from the older leaves first as your buds start to develop further along into the later weeks, eventually all of your leaves will become yellow and can be removed if they come off with a gentle tug.

It says 15-30-15 I thought it was gwar d towards flowering with ratio of that. All this shits confusing ima try dwc next run where I k ow what the hell is in it and what its lacking this is for the birds lol damn auto feed shit soil.. sorry had to vent

Hahaha, it's okay. I use Promix HP + General Organics line of nutes and haven't had many issues ;)

I think in general it's a lot easier for new growers to use soil mixes that don't contain nutes at all, that way there if the plant is deficient/overdosed then it was caused by us lol

15-30-15(N-P-K) is geared for flowering, but if you switch over to flowering nutes too early then your plant will definitely show lack of nitrogen within the early weeks of flowering

You won't find this "bird" using any of those methods to grow weed.:)
However, I don't mind helping in any grow situation.
