Please help me out open to suggestions, again this is the first problem I have had and it just showed up so I no its not the soil or enviorment, started right after feeding

Looks like burn to me. Cal/mag problem develop slower than that. Mag deficiencies may start to look like what you got above if its left unfixed.

What and how much were you feeding them? Also, how old are the plants?

And why are you using r/o water? Is your water supper hard? I have used r/o in the past and only had problems (mainly cal/mag issues). Switched to my tap water (along with some botanicare cal/mag+) and haven't had a problem since. Not to mention the water is free...

I am feeding them the dr bud mix, the plants are from clone and have been in flower about 30 days give or take, this is there first feeding ( bout a week ago now) lower leaves started to yellow so I gave them a dose, and this is what I have now....my water is super bad I am going to try a 50/50 mix tap to r/o and back back the nute strength

Anyother Ideas outh there?

So, your feeding 4 drops superthrive, 4 droppers Schultz, and 2 tbsp fish emulsion per gallon? and they have been in 12/12 for 30 days and this is the first feeding? It looks like some type of burn, but I haven't ever had any issue with the dr. bud nute mix that bad? Dr bud also feeds with every watering, but after a burn like that I would lower the mix before the next feed. Strage, my first guess would be too much schultz or superthrive as the FE is really hard to burn with.

you are exactly right only I only use 2 drops of superthrive. Since it starts with the upper leaves is that any sort of indicator? I flushed everything and I am trying to find a good diagnoses to the problem before doing anything drastic....thanks for the feedback

this is the same plant before feeding

What type of lighting do you use..and how close are your plants? Maybe light burn, but it could be nute burn. If you want a definitive answer you would want to post some better pictures in the Infirmary section. I would personally lower the nute mix, watch the heat, and see how they look in a day or two.

Does seem that it would be a burn, I have plant like that, but its only the bottom set thats affected, kinda weird strting from the start. I'm no expert but I would say some sort of burn and/or Ph issues? (I have a thread in the infirmary about it, too high to find it atm) i apologize if my high rambling isnt helpful

ruled out ph soil has lime in it as a buffer, the runoff ph is 6ish as is the mix going in looks similar to what you have except no drooping at it started at the top of the plants

You should do a good flush with plain water, if you haven't already done so.

Then, give her a mix you know that works to keep her happy -
and slowly work your way up to the full Shultz/FE/ST mix.

Good luck!

Lotsa people have given advice so I won't bother adding to that information.

I will say that you might find more information and get better responses by checking out the Cannabis Infirmary.

Good luck man!
