ive been searching all over and im going to have a stab at it,
i think it is magnesium def and im going to see if i can get cal mag to treat it.
the only other thing that i think it may be is lsf but i need to wait till tonight to get
a fresh leaf to check under the microscope (didnt think about using it last night:wallbash:)
so if im on the wrong path let us know people
i will wait to see what you say aswell Highlander

first.. ,,your ph is to high you need to bring it down to 6.0/6.2...from the look of the pics and the info i will go with phosphorus probs,,,...

you need to get your night time temps stable, with your ph at 7.0 and cold night temps the plants not getting what she needs, eg locking out the phosphorus

(nothing to do with you prob but.)
point your fan away from your ladys,,thay can still get burnt/heatstress from the constent hot air pounding down on top of them,,...eg point it towards the wall and let the air rush over/around the room....

i aint no expert though, so if more people want to add, you more than welcome,,but i would start with getting your PH& night time temps sorted

pH is my first guess. When the leaves start to shrivel and deform it is usually a sign of pH and you have it listed as 7.0. You should be in a range of about 5.8 to 6.2. I keep it right at 6.0 in the first weeks of flower and let it creep to a max of 6.5ish by harvest. If your pH isn't stable it may be a sign of bigger problems.

Good eye on the pH. the only thing I would add is to not change your nutrients until you fix your pH. The pH being off effects the nutrient uptake. Your feeding schedual may be fine but the plants can't take in the nutes needed because of pH problems.

bro your the magnesium could be cool......again magnesium is best absorbed at level of 5.8/9.1 BUT dont recommend haveing a ph over 6.5.....eg your ph is 7......
am telling you bro sort your ph out and all will come good (well and not tellg you to do it lol)

yip i still say PH...if you ph is at 5.8 your falling real close to lock out on magnesium & other nutes...maybe your actual ph is 5.7/5.8 what are you testing the ph with?. pen, strips?......

OH 1 more...how bad is it?

alright highlander mate,the ph after feed is 5.8
im going to get the temps sorted back out ive got a little 100w clothes
dryer/rack that i used to keep them warm in winter i turned it off as its getting
a bit warmer and the plants that had this in soil could have been because of cold
now that i think about it,i didnt have the heater then.

do you think i should get the cal mag and use it or does it look like something else?
and the temps probibarly locked the good stuff out so now i need to put the
correct stuff back in if im understanding correctley?
what is a good covering nute/mineral to put in?
thanks for all replys so far.

testing ph with a pen with ph just recentley calibrated.
its not to bad at the mo but i was saying that the last time picking leaves off
every day just creeping in more.

Yea, PH or too many bloom nutes, too early.

I would give them a week or so to recover with very minimal nute-strenght, if any, altho in hydro they might need a little. Try giving them straight PH'd water for a couple of days, might freshen them up. From there on you can give minimal nutes and work your way up.

Superthrive should be a great additive, altho it might not be good right now, pure PHd water for some days, is my advice.

Like HIGHlander writes, you need to get temps stable, 30 is a little too much for some. 24 is more like it. When you water they like to have lukewarm water, 20-23 degrees or so.

flush her out and just start ya feed again...you can add cal-meg if you like (it wont harm her) just make sure you ph is the same:tiphat:...i use canna PK13/14 that seems to work for me,,,but dont use it every feeding.......

get the temps up ( i could have the same heater lol) and see how she does over the next few days:good:...

i will keep an eye on the thread:tiphat:
