So I'm having a little issue with my leaves as you'll see. Feel like it's a cal mag issue so I've flushed them already. Let them dry up and just fed them. I'm using ff nutes. Temp is 76 and humidity is at about 53%. Under a 400w hps. PH is about 6.3. Good air circulation forsure.... carbon filter and fan plus fan on grow area. Will these leaves bounce back or do I gotta let them dry and die off. Some are pretty toasted. The plants with the issue are two Congo and one Cali. Aside from this problem all is great. If anyone wants other pics let me know. Any advice is welcome

Those damaged leaves will not repair themselves. Be cautious of salt build up, make sure you are getting decent run off at least once a week to leach out salts.

How much should I run through it? I alternate everyother on feeding. The flower looks great and smells phenomenal. I'm at the end of week 3 of flower. I flushed them 4 days ago and fed today

You know, it's crazy cause some plants/strains do great using the FF lineup, however some dont. I've ran the FF line and discontinued it due to this very reason. Everytime I used it I ended up with calmag issues. Some strains are just calmag whorls bro. I have some now like that, they sucks up atleast 5ml a gln a week of calmag and love it. Mostly it's my Lemon Kush and Grape Kush that's eating it up.

If by flushing you mean you ran 3X the pot volume of water through them, this is a stressful practice. Leaching them is a gentler practice for managing salt build up. For example, if you were in 10 gallon pots, they would hold about 2 gallons of water fully saturated, so I'd water with maybe 2.5 gallons once a week to produce a 1/2 gallon of run off.

The two larger are in 3 gallon pots and the 3 smaller are in 2 gallons. I ran about twice the volume through it. I stopped when the runoff was very clear. Knowing the pot sizes what would be my best option. I use happy frog with ff nutes

You shouldn't have to do anything since you already flushed. My previous posts was just advice for a better watering practice going forward. Good luck!

400w hps temp in room is 77° and for a few inches from the plants I feel no heat on my hand at all

Wow, that's pretty close. Maybe you are using better tech than my 20 year old 400W, which I have to keep about 16" from canopy to avoid overheating. Maybe mount a thermometer somewhere near the top of your canopy and see where it reads. If over 78F, it would be a good idea to raise it a bit.

I meant if I hold my hand a few inches from the bud toward the light. And I have a thermometer and humidity gauge . Here's the setup

No problem bro.. it's good to know the calmag whorls from the others (; boy I tell ya, if this pheno taste anything like she smells it's going to be some fire.. she has a faint lemony smell on stem rubs with a very strong piney scent. Keeping fingers crossed.. (:

No doubt. Yeah, you'll like that Lemon. I plan on crossing a Lemon x an OG to see what comes of it. (: maybe a Grape Kush x a OG aswell. Will have to see how it works out. Non the less it should be fire, if not I will continue to work on them each over the yrs.
