Fucking up then flushing

For some reason one of my plants started going down on me (no pun intended) and I flushed it just in case. The flush didn't really help and it's been about 3-4 days. The few leaves it had are all down, the stem has turned white and it doesn't seem to be improving. I have kept it because a little bit of it still remains a nice green (the part that you would cut when FIMming). What are your takes on this? I can't put any pictures on it since I don't have a camera that can take pictures that close
 
Soil under CFLs. The temperature is about 79, humidity around 46%. I don't know the ph and no nutes except for the one included in the soil, which doesn't say what the content is.
 
It's hard to picture exactly what you mean, but white colouration makes me think...

ZINC (Zn) White areas form at leaf tips and between veins. Occurs in alkaline soils. Zn deficiency can be treated by burying galvanized nails in the soil. Chemical fertilizer containing Zn can also be used.

Does that sound about right?
 
You really need to get a handle on your PH. It could cause lots of problems.
Do a good flush and check your PH.
 
Gave up and pulled it out.. I figured I'd rather pull it out now than keep my hopes up and leave it there, it was looking worse all the time anyway. Thanks for the input, and I was wondering, if I stress a female clone or let it flower longer until it hermies out would I be able to get viable seeds with that pollen?

Stressing your females to self-pollinate will mean your seeds will likely have a similar response to stress. Generally you'd pick plants that wouldn't hermie to breed with, but desperate times call for desperate measures I guess :mrgreen:
