Hello RIU, this is my Hash Plant that is 41 days into flowering. Her feeding of nutes has been Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom every other watering. She is up to 3 teaspoons of TB and 2 tablespoons of BB. All her feedings have been with distilled water. She sits under a 400w hps. Light is about 15" above tops. I'm growing her using the LST method. My grow room temps are 78-84F typically with 86F being the highest. My RH% is 28-40% with the help of a dehumidifier. Lighting cycle is 12/12. Don't know what else I'm forgetting to add but here are some pics to better diagnose what's going on here. Any thoughts or help that will get me through to harvest would be appreciated. Thank you.

Also, the soil is FFOF with perlite and neem seed meal mixed in. Any idea's?

Well, I bought a el cheapo soil test kit at Ace hardware and will see what I get from that. I was hoping someone with some insight could share an opinion on her.

Im no expert but since no one else has answred.........I belileve its kinda getting nute burn.

Its stoping the water from entering cells when the concentration in the soil is to high. An it will kinda wilt like its not getting watered.

Just flush with water a few times (i hope?)

Im pretty rusty at diagnostics, just getting back to growing again.

Cmon guys give an opinion on em????

the cupping and spotting is distinctive of a particular deficiency, im just having a problem diagnosing it as well.

claw leaf can be caused by overwatering; can we rule out over watering? also ruling out root rot and stem problems (OW issues that can cause messed up leafs)

really looks like nutrient burn to me. The plants are very dark green and the blades are curling seems like too much nitrogen at least.

Have you checked thouroughly for pests? It kinda looks like spidermite damage on some of your leaves.

Yes, there are no pests on this plant at all. I've looked her over a few times. I did a soil test and all my NPK levels are fine, the Ph of the soil is roughly 6.0. I will be testing the run-off when the lights come on and go from there.

Hey,

It's very common for this to happen using the soil and nutes you have. It is a deficiency caused by over nuting it, thats what I think.

When you add Grow Big and the others to your water, I assume you use a ph up to balance it out? If so, do you add nutes and check the ph and then water it right away, or do you let it(water) sit a few days with the nutrients in it?

An update if you will...I did a run-off test on the Ph and it does appear to be on the acidic side. Let the flush begin. I bought 15 gallons of distilled water today for this just in case. I'll try and snap some shots to help keep things updated for the best guidance and advice with this. Thanks to everyone that shared their time and knowledge here.

Well, I completed my first flush. quite simple really. It took me 10 gallons of distilled to get my Ph to sit neutral according to my el cheapo soil test kit. My initial run-off Ph was an orange color which is acidic on the test chart and the run-off following the flush was light green which is neutral. What would be my best way to have her dry out in a more timely fashion, that way she doesn't go into the over-watered and dying stages? Thanks again.
