imo nute burn

Isn't that just the buds sucking up the N from the fan leaves, you are feeding high P low N right? I think they are fine don't stress about it, you got like 1-5 weeks left, I figure the plant will probably make it....

looks to me like nute burn. the browning is occuring from the outside, moving in. if it were just a N def from budding, the entire leaf would yellow out before wilting and falling off, not just start crisping from the outside in.

iam also on my first grow, and am by no means an expert on the topic, so ya. just my opin.

not nute burn.....your ph is too low for soil homie. dont be afraid to nute every watering...i would recommend mixing up a nice dose of nutes at regular strenght with a ph of 6.5 to 6.8 flush with that...looks like you have some salts built up in your soil causing the browning....dont add any extra of anything....just a regular flush feed.....she wont look better but she will stop lookin worse

thats kinda what i was thinking Ph was to low and causing a (k) def among others

i real tight on funds right now do you think i can use somethink like baking soda to raise the ph?

well 5.8 is more of a Hydro pH than soil, but ive had my soil dip to these levels without too big of an issue as well. i suppose it could be this, in which case i would just get a bottle of pH up. its like 12 bucks (at least at my local shop) and this will help you treat your water. if it is just a salt build up, flushing with pH'd water alone should help a ton.

problem is, if it is pH, it might not just be your water thats the problem, but the soils ability to buffer that pH as well. if you werent into flower 7 weeks i would say transplant into some soil thats cut with Dolomite Lime, but alas....

Hey Klosetking i like your sig I have never understood why people put a disclaimer stating that there just lier's whatever

but i am 7 weeks deep so do you think just give it a real good flush and one more week of nute's then flush for a week or two then chop

she should be able to live this whole time i would think
