Deficiency?

So one person is saying too many nutes and one is saying not enough?
Looks toxic to me. That's kinda how my plants looked last time when I used the DTE stuff. I tried it the last 2 runs and both were toxic like that. I'm not sure if I like that stuff. I was thinking it was from too much N, but now I'm starting to wonder if it's more to it than that. Like maybe something in it. I don't know. I'm not using it next round.

Like I said though, not impossible. Plant available nutes?
The tips on the leaves point down. It got worse after feeding. The leaves are crispy. I raised the light but also leaves are turning yellow. Water is ph’ed. I’m afraid to feed more because I the last feeding it still progressed.

Lol i didn’t use 8 tablespoons where are you getting this information . 5 tablespoons for 5 gallon grow bag,
From your first post in the thread. Actually it looks like 9 not 8 Tbls. If it's toxic, underwatering will make it worse. And I saw you're pHing your water. How come? And what's your water like?

Fox farms soil
5 gallon cloth
Down to ear
feeding schedule
2/17 4 tablespoons 6 days way too long to water
2/22 water
2/27 water
3/4 4 tablespoons
3/8 watered topped
3/11 1 tablespoon water

one next to it fed the same way no issues. I’m thinking deficiency. Was waiting for soil to dry but I think I need to feed ASAP. What are your thoughts?

That’s 4 tablespoons every two weeks so yes 8 in all. I gave the one extra tablespoons because i thought it was underfed. I’m ph’in water because I was told to. Sometimes I don’t if ph is good. Leaves on bottom seem to turn yellow and die and you can see a lot of yellow leaves.

Hope someone has a definitive answer 'cause I've had the same problem with a couple of my grows. I have noticed that upon the autopsy they were rootbound. Motherfuckers grow great right until they get half way through flower, then it's like no no you forgot to say calcium right, I think I'll start to die instead.

Im beginning to think it’s too much light and it’s depleting the nutrients fast to try to keep up so it draws more nutrients into the leaves and they burn. In a metaphorical since the phosphorus is being drawn in due to heat and light as phosphorus is related to light and burning. Matches are made of phosphorus and it is likely the attraction of brighter lights in flower to the phosphorus. Therefore only the upper leaves show the issue

I know 8 Tbls doesn't sound like much, but it looks fried.

Upper leaves is usually a micro problem, lower leaves is usually a macro one. Are you using hps?

Yeah no pro here but I’m dealing with similar issues with thinking containers are under fed or over fed Maybe thinking cal/mg. Think it ended up being a lock out so I just watered plain for several waterings Things turned around; maybe 2-3 weeks from chopping

One thing I have read though and others have stated; @Hollatchaboy
waiting to droop isn’t ideal for a soil where microbes rely on moisture to thrive

It’s what is driving me to the SIP planter method with plain water/tea/top dress only. Watering is almost fool proof if you keep topping it off with water.
made a tester SIP and dropped a bean and it took a little longer than normal to start up but man.. things several weeks younger than the other 4 and the trunk at bottom is thicker than a full sized Bic lighter and its just starting flower
