Not a expert but looks like a ph lockout. Id flush it well. And feed lightly. I think after a good flush and proper application of nutes u cant really go wrong. Little work goes a long way.

that is a deficiency. It looks exactly like zinc deficiency, but there also may be some magnesium deficiency too. and with mag def usually comes calcium def too. so more zinc for sure. this says potassium may help too.

Good luck

solution to fixing a Zinc deficiency
Any Chemical/Organic nutrients that have potassium in them will fix a Zinc deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients or it will cause nutrient burn!)
And any of the following nutrients will fix a zinc deficiency: Zinc sulfate, zinc chelated, or zinc oxides are adequate fertilizer sources for zinc. Or you can bury galvanized nails in the soil. (Make sure you take off the sharp point at the end to prevent roots from being damaged) Garden Manure, which is slow acting. Greensands, Cottonseed Meal are both medium/slow absorption as well.



Now if you added to much chemical nutrients and or organics,( which is hard to burn your plants when using organics) You need to Flush the soil with plain water. You need to use 2 times as much water as the size of the pot, for example: If you have a 5 gallon pot and need to flush it, you need to use 10 gallons of water to rinse out the soil good enough to get rid of excessive nutrients.

yo will

for an efficient way to find a solution not only for your problem it is necessary that you post as many information as possible as there are day/night temperature, watering cycles, 400/600/1000watts, hydro/soil, fertilizer,veg/bloom state(which week), strain and any information you can think of. makes it a lot easier. a picture alone is often pretty difficult to tell dude.

id guess you are watering the plant a little too much, maybe the deficiency is the result of root rot, man my english sux, pretty too much too early in the morning :D

Yeah deficiency for sure, but what causes deficiency? Should he add all kinds of additives to try and fix or hit the root of the prob?

Heres a couple pics of classic Mag def. These plants are exhibiting only mag def, so you can see what it looks like clearly.

Looks like soil, correct?

Tbh looks really bad. Id say if it can b saved it will need a good veg period before flower.

so how would you go about fixing the Mag issue depicted Pappy masonjar? I grow in soil and have definitely seen that one before. Epsom salts, since there is not an accompanying Ca issue? Higher or lower pH? Could it be manifesting as the result of a root issue?

Sorry for all the questions, just wanted to pick your brain.
