Can't identify problem with plants. Posted Pics

I can't for the life of me identify the problem with my mother plants. To me they look deficient, but I know this could also mean too much of something.

I have been using the Lucas ratio for the last month. Initially when I switched to it everything exploded with growth. Lately the leaves have been turning yellow and more issues have been appearing. So just today I decided to switch back to the 3 part formula for the GH product line.

Temp in rez approx 68 F
Temp in room 74-84 F
Humidity 50 - 70
pH always around 5.8

Posted pics of the leaves I removed. Looking back I should of left them on the plant because now it is spreading.

Oh yeah, and I'm growing Dutch Passion Blueberry. From what I hear it is the hardest to grow. I'm committed at this point so please positive advice only.

Thanks!

anybody?

Looks like a Zinc and Potassium deficiency..
How is the root system ? I think you've waited for while before sharing..

Judging by your second to last picture, I believe your cutting/pruning practices are causing some issue. Did you recently just do some pruning/clone cutting etc? Do you have any pics of the whole plants that are being affected?

Did you also keep an archive of photos during the whole cycle of this plant ? If not, I'll advise you to do so

I did do some cloning a few weeks ago. I used alcohol to sterilize my blade when taking cuts.

You can refer to my grow journal for everything I did.

JOURNAL IS HERE

I just did a rez change and switched to a new formula last night.
I attached a pic of the chart I switched to.

I am now using Week 3 listed with 12-6-3

But keep in mind these pics were taken before I did any of this. I was using the Lucas ratio.

Should I do a flush or just keep an eye on them because I just switched formulas?

Was it shortly after the cutting that you noticed problems?

It was in that time frame. A lot was going on.

I took cuttings from the mothers and if you looked at my journal you will see the plants somehow got under-watered shortly afterwards and shrunk. I immediately gave them water from the rez (which had lucas formula in it). Looking back I should of gave them straight water but I didn't have anymore RO water and I didn't want to give em bad tap water.

Plants seem to recover and you can see the pics once again in my journal. I raised the lights, turned a few off too. Then the next day they looked ok with no signs I remember of a problem. Then all of the sudden the yellowing and deficent looking leaves appeared. I cut them off (like an idiot) because I thought the problem was fixed. I kind of got lost with that and the new rooted clones I was transplanting.

Right now I have a new formula like I mentioned up top in my other post. Plants look the same today with only a slight burn/yellowing. I guess I will know for sure tomorrow by how they look. Hoping they stay the same or improve. If it gets worse, unless someone tells me otherwise, I plan on flushing with RO pH corrected water.

Suggestions? Comments?

Thanks

Today was another BAD DAY

Plants were drooping like I never gave em water. But I KNOW they got water. So this led me to believe a few things.
My educated guess is that they are over-watered and possibly suffering from root issues. The humidity reached 68%.

So I immediately gave them bottled water this time. 2 bottles each. I know it was cold and hopefully it didn't shock them too bad. They seemed to perk up after a few hours. So now I raised the lights and turned off the timer for feeding. They will sit the next 18 hours with no more water. Also got the humidity down to 50%. I am hoping this will dry out the roots a little and make the plants sweat.

Crossing my fingers.

If your ph is hovering around 5.8 Are you forcing the issue or are you letting it drift up to 6.5 or so. What is ec of lucas?

I let it drift 5.8 - 6.5....then I adjust it once to 5.8 again before the change
