The correct pH for normal soil is usually 6.5. Check the soil pH and adjust if necessary. The plant is also showing signs of Nitrogen deficiency.

I said my soil runoff ph is right around 6.. so what should i raise my water ph to to raise that? I water with a gallon milk jug.

You can add a sprinkle of garden lime on the surface of the soil and it will slightly adjust the liquid poured through it. When testing runoff pH, be sure to test the last few drops that drip out after watering. Samples taken closer to when the plant was watered will show less of the soil pH and more of the original liquid's pH. An even better reading can sometimes be had from pressing on the soil the day after a good watering and collecting the runoff. This way the liquid has 24hrs for its pH to equalize with that of the substrate.

Nitrogen deficiency looks to be more of a problem than the pH anyway, so this is just discussing a secondary issue, mostly to keep it from getting worse.

Wow beautiful plant. I think that she is just naturally pulling the reserves from the fans and if she need it she will replace those with sun leaf closer to the buds. Continue on man.

I agree with you guys. I think that I messed up previously to make it drop its leaves fairly early in the flowering process but now all the new bud growth looks very good. No burn or anything. Hopefully she will pull through

What nutes are you using? I had this problem during veg. I decided to up my potassium by a small amount and it made all the difference.

But the problem your having could be a large list of things honestly. Maybe nute deficiency or even nute burn.
