K wat do u think is wrong..Came off a plant 22 days in flower.

Feeding
50 ml bloom
40 ml micro
40 ml amino blast
30 ml bloom fx
ph 6.2
Ppm 850
Temps 70-78
Humidity 3-40%

Sorry the pics aren't the best. What do u think? I feed ever two nights. It's half happy frog and half canna coco as the medium.
Thanks looking forward to figuring this out.

My 2 cents...

Looks like cal/mag def, but could be something else as well.

This also starts off looking like cal/mag def...Nute/Salt Buildup in medium. I have experienced it in early/mid-flower too and it can be a pain to fix before it spreads all over the plant ...(see below)

What are the runoff values? They should be similar to what goes in, if it is much more ppm/lower ph, your ferts are building up in the medium and causing burning and/or ph lockout. I am fighting this ATM, it snuck up on me...

after noticing the damage, I could put in straight tap - 160 ppm, 7.6 ph, and over 2000 ppm and 5 ph came out in runoff. I was feeding at 800-1000 ppm before the buildup occurred and I started watering/flushing with straight water.

Yesterday was 3rd watering in a row w/ straight tap. Runoff values have come down to 550 ppm in 1 pot, and 1300 in 2 others with 6-6.5 ph. The 1st is in range & will get a light feeding next watering, but the other 2 will need more flushing.

Check your runoff IMO...it will tell you everything you need. If it's a buildup, either flush or water w/ straight water 'till runoff values are close to normal, then feed lightly. Act quickly,a buildup/lockout can kill a crop quite quickly if not addressed as it leads to very unhappy roots.

My damage is more advanced but it does start out looking like that. Just took a couple pix...

Makes sense. I get like a half cup of runoff if that.I flushed once already tomorrow I'll do it again. And check the runoff. it's weird cause it's the same strain as last run but they didn't do this last time. My ppm was allot higher last run as well.

Thanks alot. I went ahead and watered today. My ppm were off the chart maxed out my meter. My Ph runoff was 5.6. Wish I could give u rep. I went back in after about 20 minutes and put a couple more cups of water through them and the run of ppm was registering 2000ppm. That can't be good.
