so this is a little bit older, its hard to see but if u look closesly u will notice a little brown on the top most leaves
if u look to the lower leaves the different colour around the edges is not actually brown its almost dark dark green/ grey and feels papery almost.
im thinking its phosphourous
how can i fix that?

You need to know what your pH is before you do anything. If the pH of you soil is off you can give it all the ferts in the world and it will just make the problem worse. What kind of water are you using? What kind of soil? Please give as much info as possible so we can give better advice.

If you haven't been feeding yet then I say give it a dillute dose of ferts. Like 1/4 strength to start out. Work your way up to full strength and feed with every other watering.

How long ago did you feed and did you adjust the pH of your nutrient solution?

Why did you flush?

I see. I'm baked right now but what did you say you are using to check your pH cuz that's usually the first thing I look at when I'm having a problem. If your soil has been flushed and you've given them enough time to get over being stressed it may be time to get the nutes going again just go slow and be careful.

its a cheapy 30 dollar ph meter it aint digital, i checked the soil ph directly after flushing, but i dont think it worked, im pretty sure i saw a new leaf start turning brown,
but i have to admit, it looks pretty bad, but not all the leaves are brown wich is good i guess

sick plant!
