Help with sick plant

My plant is about 10-14 away from harvest and it seems to be getting sicker by the day. I was dealing with what I think was nitrogen toxicity. I flushed plants but they seem to be getting worse. I was thinking maybe it was getting worse because it's life was winding down but now I don't think so. I've only feed floranova grow and bloom nutes. Using a t-5 ho and recently added a Mars 300 watt led. And actually my problems didn't show up until about a week after I added the led to my grow. Not sure if I should just let it finish as is or what. I will add picture from a few days ago when the "clawing" on my leaves showed up, and then today's pic

The soil is promix mycorrhizae hp. I'll just let it finish then but for future reference does it look like the only problem is n tox? I will most more pics also

That and possibly some root problems. That container might -MIGHT - be a tad small. With ProMix go light on the ferts. It holds water (and therefore nutes) very well. Water less and let the medium dry somewhat. Looks good overall.

Try coco and advanced nut pH line
Airports too can't go wrong stall

Just got some home too much fert
Just remember she's not getting worse a damaged leaf will not heal it will die off
Watch ur good leaves now for signs not them

And if us 2week off me I'd strip off all the fan leave anyway leaving leaves at are small and in the bud that's plenty for her now she's focused okn finishing not storing

Google defoliation in flower 21 and 45 days good read

Thanks for the info, here's a few pics from today, it has started affecting my top leaves somewhat now, so it definitely started from the bottom and came up. I have been going pretty light on the nutes and letting the soil dry, but my 100%. I have a ppm meter now that I will be using from now on

My poor leaves look like the green is just being stripped from them, live and learn. Anyone think the led could have made my issue worse? Could I have a cal-mag problem also? I was wondering about the pot also. It's a 3 gallon but I figured I would never need anything bigger

Wow, that's like 8 gallons I think. I didn't want to have to transplant my plants, so I started with what I'm in now. My next run I will be doing 6 plants and I think I'm gonna run different soils in a few and nutes, maybe 2 of each, 1 in 3 gallon, and another in a bigger 1

i dont translant :D half fill it and fillit up later it wil root where u bury it :D
coco is so easy and perfect to use i love it to pieces yeidls are bigger too,

adviance nutes ph perfect is cheap and has everythign they need,. they have cheap boosters u can use that are good btu dont need to really,

there ph perfect meaning no EC and no PH pen needed the plants using humic and fulvic acids to make the ph range 4-8 its great ! monster planst with these nutes,

Such great advise - LOL.....The only quality answer is from HotRod!

To take this to the next level - What do you use for nutrient?
How much do you use?
How often do you use it?
List ALL additives you use!
How big is the pot and how tall is the plant?

There's a lot going on there and I wouldn't have "flushed".....maybe a watering with say twice the amount you water with, and then simply use straight water for a week to 10 days....The a reduced feeding solution....

I use floranova bloom, 2ml per gallon. That's all I use during flower, floranova grow during veg. Plant is about 32 inches I believe. I am really leaning toward maybe a mag deficiency. It started low and made its way up. Affecting older fan leaves first then newer. My stems were red for most of the grow and now the oldest and lowest leaf stems are like purple, with the highest stems still being slightly reddish. I should have done something else just to figure out what the issue is. I don't wanna lose my bud but I'm more in the learning stage right now. But my first problem was clawing of the leaves, 2 days after I added the led, then about 3 days after that the leaves really started looking shabby

I don't know if I have bad luck or what but it looks like something is going on with my new plants. They have a grayish black tinge in the middle of most of the new plants. Fml, I didn't have any problems with my last grow until the last 2 weeks.

Ok in review of the of this thread it seems you have a phosphorous excess your last two weeks you said you had similar problems.
Maybe you reused your soil? Added to much? Compensated to much?
