Ok so I have been trying to figure this out and haven't been able to put my finger on it.

I had some advice to get a digi ph meter and I did that and adjusted my ph to the correct range.

Now after feeding yesterday I noticed this morning that it's happening again on the next set of leaves. Here's some pictures guys.

Please help me out.

how often do you water the plant ?
it should be every 3-4 days when the top 3-4" of soil is dry

Cal/mag issues. Which sucks because it's hard to determine whether it's too much or too little for a new grower.

What kind of water are you using? and Light? hard tap water can cause that. but so can distilled and no calcium amended into the soil.

my tap water does that, then it goes a step further and locks out everything and the plant dies.

water the plant w 5.7 water..let it drain off..u can help it by a bit of gentle up and down movements...till it stops..ok..feel this weight..its totally drenched..wait until its half that weight, but not befor the dirt dries and before pulls from side of pot..then water w very very lil nutes at ph 5.6 t0 59...it can only grow wen it can breath so hope u have gd air flow as well..gl bro

5.7 is a little low for soil, should be between 6.5-7
but your right about "half that weight before watering" 1 ltr weighs about 1 kg to give you an ideal of how much water the plant has drunk

trust me as it dries the nutes raise the potential of hydrogen...but w/e fk measuring use ur common sense and feel how much water u have given it..its not 300 plants...u will manage,,,pppl wanna be parts per million, total dissolved solids..jargon jargon....feel ur plants its not a cook book that gives teh perfect measurements

I was giving superthrive the first two weeks.

Im growing in coco and have always watered daily, twice daily during flower.

But if letting her dry out will help...I can skip a day or two of watering
