What does this look like to YOU

OK some facts. About 4 weeks into flower, Heat and air circulation are great, humidity low cuz of furnace about 20-25%. 7 gal container, peat based soil with plenty of pearlight. I use the whole line of nectar for the gods nutrients. I keep my soil around 6.6 6.7 and feed at 6.2 during flower. Last time I fed I decided I wanted to do a little mini flush. So I ph'd some water to 6.6 and poured it in till it barley ran off. Then waited like a hour and fed normal nuts at 6.2 to gets lots more run off. A few days later I see leafs that look like this. I apologize in advance I think their was a spot on the camera.... Pictures still show what I need shown : )

Thanks

So does it look like nutrient burn, a lockout, is it a burn from salt buildup and the salts redissolving in the water and the plant trying to eat past the salts? Could it be some type of ph stress?IMG_20140210_174131.jpgIMG_20140210_174119.jpgIMG_20140210_174105.jpgIMG_20140210_174006.jpgIMG_20140210_173927.jpgIMG_20140210_173906.jpg

time to switch your nutrients . to me they are missing some thing . your nutrients are not cutting it . try a nutrient that has a feeding table. or chart tells you when to add it and how much . this will stop all these problems.

You sound like maybe you used the line at sometime? What would you suggest? What do you think the line lacks? They do have a feed chart, I'm not arguing tho. In fact you have me thinking, that is the only plant doing that out of let's say 6, that plant is also a nice hefty critical mass plant that I cloned a few mths back. Maybe the plants do want more.... Idk, but thank you for your insight and look forward to your reply.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

It almost looks like a mag deficiency??
Does mag def start at the top or bottom I can't remember... This is defiantly showing toward the top first. My bulbs are hung vertically with the pots making a circle around the bulbs, so its not light or hear, as that would happen to the sides first, they are plenty far away anyways, I use 600 watterz they don't get anywhere near as hot as 1000

Does it not strike you as odd or suspicious that...
1-Damage is all on leaf tips
2-This occurred right after a feeding
3-nute burn effects leaf tips

first off when u flush the soil..............flush it do not half ass it 7 gallons 14 gallons of water phed to 6.5
other part is after u flush do not add anything ...........u stick it back under the lights and let the soil dry up then u feed it after 2 to 3 days

the other part is when u did that u hurt the little micrbos and fungi in the soil ........u need to add some more of them into the soil to resupply them

u do not have red/purple vein so u are not lacking on NPK .........it has to be some of the micro nutr............look at the fox farms powders..........these have micro nutr in it and are set for the 3 stages of flowering ........it can be used as a standalone feeding or u mix little into your feed plant (i have always had good results using them )

Could you explaine how that hurt the biology in the soil?

7 gallons of soil holds 1 gallon of water from my exps.........u said u just added enough to get some run off .......so 1.5 gallons maybe little less ...........your soil is now soaked and all active .............then u hit it feeding

since u did not fully flush the soil the build up from the other feedings was still there and u added on to that the little micrbos and fungi in there to help u aborb convert and controll took a massive lose of troops do to the high amount of salts and partly used food going active

i use 7 gallon soil bags and when i flush them i capture some of the water off each gallon i pour tho to look and test to learn
not untill i get around the 6th gallon does the water come out clear (all the feed and residue has been flushed out)

oh to add on u have peat moss so that will hold the goodies in there so u might not see clear untill the 10th gallon

the part that wanted to share .............if u can get a brewers bucket(used to make beer has a spogot and hole in lid for air line) add in a air stone with air pump...fill it with water and wait 1 hour then u can use it to water your plants .........it now has desolved Oxygen in it a the highest rate it can so using this for feeding or flush u get less of a droop effect and shock on the roots (they are not drowning as much )

It looks like it could be a potassium deficiency. Did you take a reading on your runoff, ph and ppm?
