Yellowing/wilting/brown spots?!?!

I am having some serious issues in my room right now and don’t know why. I run on the Lucas gh program. I had a spider mite problem and was able to get that under control. My ph is st 5.7 and I’m using coco with pear lite . I run 12pn 12off. The temp in my room is 75degrees and I am still getting overall yellowing with leaves having brown spots and drooping down. I water once a day towards the end of the light cycle with 3litre pitchers. Any idea what is happening!? I will take any advice or suggestions!! Please help me figure this out!!

Nute burn badly. Transplant if possible. Flushing useless at this point. Are you following a feeding schedule?

I used a calmag supplement and this started happening. Is it possible to flush that and get back on schedule? And yeah I use the Lucas formula.
I'm not looking at the whole plant but the leaf you show says transplant to me. It's hard trying to correct a major imbalance. Others might feel differently.

Yeah I have heard a multitude of oppions from the internet as well as the other forum sites I’m on. The most common thread was an overdose or nute burn like your saying. A lot I’ve heard is that it’s a calcium burn. So at this point you think if I transplanted the whole thing into a new media is that what you would suggest? And if so what’s the reasoning behind that. Thanks!

Break up the root mass. Shake most of the dirt out. The plant will be fine. Transplant into fresh medium. You then are not fighting the high nute levels. Flushing in my experience at this point just starts more problems

Harley's advice might be OK with dirt...but you're running coco which is more like a hydro grow. I would do a good flush and just ph corrected water for a few days. Start back nutrients at a much lower level. Never let the coco dry and water to about 10% runoff. That's what I'd do...

Yeah coco. So I flushed yesterday and the day before with just straight water. Today I emptied my reservoir and cleaned out all excess nutrients and then refilled it and re distributed the nutes but at a little less than half the dose. And I am not going to add any of my royal rush maybe at all but for sure for a few days to try and flush before putting anything else.

Or should I not put any additives and just cut my losses for fear of losing the plants? They have like 3 weeks left and there not bulking like usual probably due to the stunt from the burn, I guess I’m just nervous to do my usual 2-3 week before harvest boosts. Anyone gone through something like this?

Also seriously appreciate your opinions on this stuff

MM,
Ya, any major stress can delay flowering...or worse yet can encourage herming. So watch the plant to make sure it's recovering OK. Expect some harvest delay...just watch the trichomes.

When you add a supplement...the safest way to do it is to reduce main nutes same amount...so that the total PPM/EC doesn't get too high.

PS: Nutrient burn generally is related to total PPM
