So I been having this problem for the last 3 weeks that my leaves are drying up and falling off or turning yellow . I thought I was giving the to much nutrition but I cut back and still having the problem then I thought my ph was it went from 6.2 to 5.8 and still having the problem. I cut back to only feeding twice a week to see if that was the problem and it still happening.
mom growing In FF coco loco
Temp is 80-84
Humidity around 60-70
I tried everything and I’m just wondering where I’m going wrong please help

Even when you cut back on the nutes, all those excess nutes were still in the medium for a few waterings. Looks like they were nute burnt pretty bad. Keep with a lower feed for a little to see if the problem corrects itself. With nutes, less is always more.

Hay bro, This is caused by over nutrients...
if plants lack nutrients they will pull nutrients.. potassium from the leaves ends and yellow up.. but in this case, they are in reverse of that...

ok so don't worry about ph now because adding any ph up or down will cause more issues...

plus they will like the EC in tap water and THEY will use the EC to recover to help pull water quicker.

simply add tap water now till recovery starts..

no ph up or down or any nutrients until recovery.

don't feed anymore and let the plants medium dry out fully..till leaves wiltr from dehydration.. then water little but often with tap water only...

when she or he recovers, ph 6.4 with EC 1.8 UNTILL THE PLANTS SHOWING HEALTH. ALSO, TOP AT THIS STAGE


HOPE ALL GIES GOOD G
So no more nutrition and just water with tap water

the leaves with the green still there look like a potassium deficiency that is old and has gone necrosis.

Are they old fan leaves?
what ppm were you feeding at?
What stage of growth?
How far away are the lights?

Whenever you have a problem the best thing to do is to raise the lights and slow the grow and let them recover. In tandem with thoroughly flushing the pots with clean (R/O) water ph'ed to 6.5 if in dirt and renute at half strength of a proper balanced nute of what you were adding and add a fresh supply of microbes to that and then leave it alone till you need to water it again.

Three are in flower for 4 weeks now and the rest has been in veg since November 26th
The lights are at the max of the tent and yes they’re are fan leaves at the bottom of the plants .

So anyways the first thought I had was that they are dying off due to lack of light then you said you had 1000 leds so ...leds are an intense light so my second thought that they are getting enough light but...Im not there to look at it so...if the plant is huge and blocking out the light that gets to those leaves then I would say that is what you are seeing.

And focus on the top growth, the lower stuff you dont need to worry about as much...not that you dont need to worry about it but that isnt where the magic happens.

Pick off all the dead jacked up leaves to increase airflow and or if the jacked up leaf is blocking a good leaf from getting light.

and the ones in flower if you flsuh those renute at 3/4 strength of what you were giving it and add back microbes if you go that route. Cant be starving a plant in mid flower.

Once you go into flower if shit happens you kind of just have to roll with it and do the best you can. and not try to mess with it too much.

A stress free plant is a happy plant.

Yeah I been picking off the other leaves for a while now I just bought more lights because I they wasn’t getting much light at first

The crazy thing is two of the plants in flower is just fine it’s just the rest of them but a small one in flower

so anyways leds are a very intense light for growing and you need to be at a proper height to not over drive the plant as leds have a tendency to wash out the mag in the top leaves.

and you say your in a tent so the height of the tent with leds you may get some light burn so be on the look out for ...light burn or a mag deficiency in the upper part of the plant.

Crazy is as crazy does.

Maybe move them around the tent to spread the love. Big ones on the side little ones in the middle. mix it up.
