Day 48 003.jpg

She has stopped growing and blooming. I can't stop the progression of the leaves. It's mobile (I think) run off is 6.8. The Ph of my water is 6.0/6.3 I can't tell if it's a Mag or Cal issue I backed down on the light intensity. I backed off on the amount which was about half of what it says.to feed.(bloom) How can i save her? Day 48 004.jpg
The picture above shows how it starts... a light brown spot. Then the leave starts to turn yellow and the flowers now look like they starting to shrivel. I'll try anything at this point! This my second grow(first was a male)and I'm so close! PLEASE HELP! PS. the white spots on the bottom leave is from adding lime. I was trying to lower the ph (oops! wrong sheet) and I Fuged up.

Sorry guys.... The soil is Aurora Roots Organics. I used their Synesthetic Grow and Synthetic Bloom about a .25/.50% of what it called for. I was watering every 3-4 days. or when the top 2 inches were dry.(water/feed/water) PPM is unknown. I started veg with 4*23wcfl's (blue) I then switched to 2*60w cfl's (red). I used lime thinking I was lowering the ph when I actually raised it and then tried to correct that with more water. I took a soil sample(Saturday) from the top and used distilled water and got a reading of 7.8 . but when I use my ph water of 6.1 i get a run off of 6.8. I remember the issue started before I switched to the red lights. I also now believe it's from over watering and I'm sure i made it worse every time i tried to correct it, thinking it was the nutes or trying to lower the Ph. If that is my issue how do I correct it before I lose my plant or is this a lost cause? I believe she is just about at the point of no return if not past. So I'll try anything.

ok i see some red stem on your plant u need to increase the Bloom add in a extra 2mls to the gallon see how that does (your nearing the end of the plant possibly )
auto flower plants will automatically start dying off (the lower leaves yell then the middle ones then the ones on the flowers ) u want to cut before the flowers ones yellow

but the answer to your trouble is
manganese deficiency
yellowing with brown spots is manganese deficiency
the quickest way to get it some help is head to a drug store and buy some Manganese chelate it is in the vit isle .....buy a pill crusher too
use a mason jar (quart) crush 2 pills up and put the powder in the jar add hottest tap water u can only 2/3 way up .......seal it shake it until u see it mix in then add ice to cool it down ..... u can pour it on there like that or add that quart to a gallon top it off and then mix your feed in

next time u do this strain mix a little greenssand into the soil it will take care of the issue for next time

rem at the end or near the end of flower the plant likes some N in the feed ......helps keep it green and build resins
