What a shame, what a beautiful plant.

Hard to say exactly from just a picture, would need more background information really, but it looks like salt buildup.

I can't advise you on anything until I know more about what you've been doing. What stage in flowering is it? What water do you use? What nutrients and at what doses and what frequency?

1st thing id do is take of all them brown brunt crisp leafs that are gone past repair

it looks like a bad mg defection to me do you use the correct ph levels in your water another thing it could be a nute. overdose


make sure your ph levels are correct in your water take all them crisp brown leafs of and prevent it spreading flush out a good few times and only use water untill u feel your plants are ready for a feeding again it will recover no matter what the cause is need more info

this is the stage u dont want these problems goodluck

Flora Nova is a bloom nutrient at 4-8-7, which should be fine. What levels are you feeding at?

Unless you give me the information I need - I can't help you.

Nope never prune in flower....needs leaves for photosynthesis....bend fan leaves to expose buds but never cut, it will indeed stress the plant and reduce your yield...Took every science class and excelled in horticulture....never cut....just bend or tie back...

I think this is sound advice....But is there times when the benefits of trimming off-sets the stress put on plants when trimmed during flowering? Imagine a flood tray filled to the brim with a lanky sativa, all fighting to get there branches to the top of the canopy. Will the energy used to grow longer branches take some percentage of bud growth? I feel that in some cases, that if done properly, "slowly" maybe taking some shade leafs during flower may be beneficial to make a plant more mature through out the whole plant....

Think of the shade leaves as your plants strongest leaves, they take in the most energy for the plant and it would be a shame to take away your plants source of light. I would say tell your friends to do their homework. good luck
