budman111 said:

Because she is sick with calcium toxicity and has no appetite at the present. Give it a week at the least and put this one down to the learning experience curve.

Yep been their done that, calcium toxicity is one of the worst i have came across in my 10 years, you have to be very careful with this stuff.

So what did you end up doing? So we know what works.

Is it hydroponic or soil?

i read somewhere that the hydroton and the RW cube were probably full of salt residue... so i put the bucket inside a big tray and i gave her about 8 gallons of 0PPM RO water through the hydroton and let the runoff water fall on the tray a lot of the runoff water looked dirty so it must have been that....

i gave her fresh water after that... the water was 0PPM but after a day it had 120PPM !!!!!! my girl had plenty shit on her roots..... hopefully shell come back soon, she always had a huge appetite...

Shes in a 5Gallon DWC system

Good luck - I hope she makes a full recovery!

thanks very much guys!!!

Here are some update pictures.... she drank about 3/4 of a litter again today... i added a little bit of Sugar Daddy which contains a little bit of carbohydrates and Magnesium.. i still dont want to feed but if she drinks more tomorrow i might add a little bit of nutes.... what do you guys think?

Look-in good glad you figured it out.

Yep, on the road to recovery, you can see phosphorus deficiency on a leaf in photo 10 almost certainly from calcium overdose but other wise, well done.

some of the buds are looking kind of dry... is this normal in late flowering? shes still drinking about the same .5-.75 litter a day... hopefully she can make a recovery soon cuz she has 15 days left and the buds are looking pretty small

Hs rhe problem with the leaves wilting stopped or not?
Whats the max ppm youve ran her?
What were you running when she ran into trouble?

If you only have a couple weeks left on her and she looks like she could take it id throw down the hammer. Crank the ppm from 400 to 900 in the next three days and let er buck! Your not going to finnish well at 400 in these last weeks. She aint taking much so it wont cost the world. Like eminem says..." You only got one shot "

Could be the calcium, it dries out the leaves too, that's the reason i asked before if they were 'snapping' easily. Like Ninja bowler says, crank up the ppm & hope for the best. With a few weeks left, nothing to lose.

in your last pics i seen that your plants are inches from what seamed to be a 250 watt light!!! when a plant is thirsty the bottoms will wilt first then make its way up the plant. if you can i would reposition your light or the big plant.

It does sound like its thirsty, its not getting much water. I had a tomato plant in dwc once that i added organics to and it died from the ground up because of root issues.
