*What I have is a White Widow approx 2' tall quite bushy with about 4 full tiers of fan leaves and many shoots. Grown from feminized seed.The shoots themselves look healthy but some of my middle and top fan leaves are exhibiting symptoms of either K deficiency or nutrient burn but I am not sure which. The reason I am not sure is because I was in the hospital for a month and trusted friend made sure to water. (Dont worry about someone else knowing this person would never tell as he would have as much to lose as myself.) The problem is my grow room contained various concentrations of 12-4-8 liquid nutient solutions and my friend cannot seem to tell me exactly how much nutrients he used and how often. (I think hes trying to avoid me blaming him even though I wouldnt I just need to know so I can fix it.)

Some of the middle and top leaves are drying out around the edges and tips turning yellow then brown (starting at the tips and moving around the edges). At the top the new growth is just begging to be affected at the very tips. A couple of the very first leaves towards the very bottom of the plant rolled up and died but I understand this is natural.I considered light burn as my friend told me he had sprayed the leaves with my mister but that would have affected the top growth more, besides I use florescents almost no direct heat contact. (1-2'' above plant top and no burn there)The room is 65 at night (darktime) and ~80 day (lighttime) on a 16-8 cycle. ~25-30 humidity. Otherwise the plant looks fairly healthy.

I have been reading all the forum posts I can and its simple due to my lack of knowledge of what happened over the month I was in the hospital (coma) so I couldnt instruct my buddy on exactly what to do and getting straight answer is hard when someone is afraid of being blamed.
[*=1]Right now I am considering whether to leech the soil in the tub with purified water (I have a large bin I let stand for several days, plus my tap is mountain stream)
[*=1]To repot my plant into a new container with fresh soil (If I did that should I rinse the rootball?)
[*=1]My last resort would be to snag as many clones as I could and just eat the time I invested. (Not a total loss I learned alot already and they would be some strong clones)
