Chron, I agree with the dankness. Flush dude! A couple days aint shit for a soil grow. It could take a week or so for the flush to work. I would flush, then about an hour later flush again. Try some of that clearx stuff for your flush. That fan leaf looks totally nuted out. :hump:

IMO the problem is a nute lock up probably from PH. Do you PH your fertilized water solution? Next time before you start any seeds or clones, add between 1 or2tbls of lime to ever gallon of soil, this will help buffer the soil so that even if your not PH'ing your fert solution the roots will still recieve near nutrual water and ferts. And its always best to flush with distilled water and only if using chem ferts to pervent salt build up.

:leaf::leaf: I don't see how i can have a lock out when the runnoff is at 6.2 - 6.4? I don't know maybe it needs to be lower or higher. :leaf::leaf:

:leaf::leaf: And as for nute burn. I know for a fact it is not nute burn. This plant was burnt during vegitation and i knew it because the leaves turned very dark green and then the tips started to brown and crisp up. That's not the case now. Right now as you can see the leaves are very N deficient looking or light green. I am leaning towards another flush because i definately was on the skimp side when i flushed last time. :leaf::leaf:

well I'm glad to hear you're giving her another flush, dude I'm not trying to tell you how to grow or anything, do what you will, but I really think it will help. I have just never heard of deficiencies manifesting in that way and that fast, nutes on the other hand can burn a plant up in days... anyway I hope you can nurse her back man, I'm pulling for you.

:leaf::leaf: Yeah im not definately not the most experienced at this. I just don't see what else would explain the leaves going from a very dark shade of green to a very light shade of green in so quickly. To me that represents a deficiency but iv been wrong before :leaf::leaf:

so the doc needs a doc huh ?...well look no further !...yo doc, take it from me, 1 who has burnt plants over the last 4 months & kept them alive on 4 seperate occassions.

if you had nute burn & you flushed last week & skimped on the flushing as you say, you def, need to flush again !....i learned to flush my plants with about 2 -3 gallons then again in 4-5 days. even then you'll have to wait & let it pass thru its system...just because you flush doesn't stop the burn right away.

its just as if you ate something that gave you the shyts...you may have the shyts for days until whatever you ate passes thru your system although you shyt it out soon after eating it or thru it up, ya feel me ?

well same for your plants...so when you took the 1st set of burnt leaves off whatever was burning your plants may not have been as strong after the flush but still very much there enuff to attack other leaves & sites on your plant just showing at a slower pace....a slow burn of your leaves & bud sites, exactly what last happened to mine & i ended up ripping all my fan leaves off ! remember ?...well, you said i should harvest & cut my losses & start over cuz with no fan leaves she would die..lol...the buds were about the size yours are now.

well i kept her going & here she is a few weeks later..

talking to your plants is proven to make them healthier. Maybe plants just need a little love too.

How are you flushing???? I've found the best way to fix a problem like this at this early in flower is to soak the medium with just water and wait a good 5 - 10 min to allow all the salts and shit burning your girls to dissolve and then whatever size your container is then flush it again with that much water and you should be ok .... By the way whats up on a R.C.C. banner for myself???

The leaves look a lot better now. Your bud looks nice, before you know it it'll be 2 inches tall.
:leaf::leaf: Yeah she's looking alot better now. I hope things greatly improve now that i flushed her good. I just hope that i used enough water because she is in a 4 gallon bag and i only used 6 gallons of water. I was told to use twice the amount of pot you have but i could only get 6 :-( :leaf::leaf:

:leaf::leaf: Update Day 24 of Flowering :leaf::leaf:

She is definately coming back to life. In just a matter of 24 hours the "claw" is pretty much gone. Here is a picture from yesterday and the same shot today. And some other shots of the lower nugs.




:leaf::leaf: As you can see there is much improvement. At least to me there is. :leaf::leaf:
