I fed her with a gallon of water,5ML of calmag plus and the next day she got this .
Why is this happening to my OG kush leaves?

Potassium Deficiency in Cannabis Plants
By nevash April 11, 2013 8363 Views Leave a comment Go to comments
Marijuana plants require adequate nutrition in order to develop properly and reach full maturity. Among the many nutrients that cannabis plants require, potassium is considered to be one of the major building blocks or primary nutrients that contribute to the development of healthy cannabis plants. In fact, this essential nutrient promotes growth during cell division as well as synthesis and transportation of sugars and starches. Potassium also increases chlorophyll in leaves and also regulates opening and closing of stomata. In addition, it facilitates growth of a strong root system and activates enzymes that fight off disease. Due to its vital role, potassium is required by marijuana plants during all stages of growth.
However, when cannabis plants lack the right amount of potassium, this triggers disorders that manifest in the form of discolored foliage. At the onset, the plants appear to be healthy, but with a distinct dark green luster on the leaves. Only a keen grower would notice the early signs associated with potassium deficiency, but as the condition progresses the signs become more apparent. In advanced stages, older leaves lose color by turning yellow which is accompanied with rust-colored blotches. The plant may also stretch thus causing the stem to become weak. Eventually, the leaves curl up, rot and die before falling off the branches. If a potassium deficiency develops during the flowering stage, some of the initial signs that would be noticed include abnormal bud growth and diminished size of buds. In advanced stages the flowers may start to drop from the ailing marijuana plant.
When left untreated, potassium deficiency in marijuana plants will see your dreams of enjoying a bounty harvest go down the drain. Unfortunately, chlorosis (or discoloration of foliage) is irreversible in the case of potassium deficiency. In fact, leaves that are affected burn and die. In order to address problems with potassium intake, the root cause of the problem first needs to be uncovered.
An imbalance in water pH can interfere with intake of potassium as well as other nutrients required by marijuana plants. As a result of this, it is imperative to always test the pH of water constantly so as to ensure that it is within the recommended levels. High levels of salinity, poor soil nutrition and nutrient toxicity may also cause potassium deficiency. In the case of pH imbalance, a simple adjustment of pH can correct the problem. In fact, it is important to correct pH problems before treating the growth medium with potassium rich nutrients because a pH imbalance can inhibit potassium intake even when the mineral is present in fertile soil.
Salinity that blocks intake of potassium in cannabis plants can be corrected by adjusting the pH of the growth medium with dolomite while calcium and nitrogen toxicity can be corrected by flushing out the plants’ system with water that contains half-strength nutrients.
Keep in mind that mineral deficiencies in marijuana plants require patients and the correct approach to correct the root cause of the problem. Taking the wrong measures will only lead to further complications that would kill your plants.

YEAH some of my leaves look like that. What should I do? Should I flush her and feed her with half a dosage of nutes?Potassium Deficiency in Cannabis Plants

Thank youuuuu
Make sure your water goes into the medium at 6.5.
