Well she's like..... 5 days into flowering, noticed these crispy wierd lookin leaves, what's causing it? Terrible pictures, was in a rush.
Also, what would i buy to fix it? Kinda seems like a deficiency to me.
I bought epsom salt thinking it was magnesium deficiency, but i'm not feeding her anything till i get an answer.

hit them up with some ca/mg and liquid karma until they get darker. It's somewhat normal for your bottom leaves to start dying like that. I would definitely not use any salt.

your right pics are rough, all I can make out is what looks like nute burn?

Should i just snip the leaves to get good pics? My camera likes to focus on the background rather then the thing i'm trying to get :(.

What are the genetics and current nutes you're using? It's probably not burned because the whole plant doesn't look dark enough, although some genetics i.e. sativas and some ruderalis, are really sensitive to certain things. I honestly finish those types of genetics and don't grow them even again cus there's just much better genetics available these days. Anyways...
And get over not "leaf snipping." This is a classic rookie theory, "yay more leaves, yay" no not the case during flowering, you want the plant to focus on the flowers during flowering so taking off some leaves and lolly popping or cherry topping, lots of terms used but basically cleaning up the bottoms before the third week of flowering is over is ok and actually beneficial during this stage.

Edit portion after you posted your full plant pics:
Dude your plants look fine, I would keep hitting them up with more ca/mg and l. karma like I said before. You don't want them to think they don't have enough food. check out my journal entry called, The Theory, to learn more about what i'm talking about and just clean up the bottoms: )

from left to right pic #4 leaves at the bottom is a Mag def for sure since mag affects P uptake gonna say adding some mag will fix ya

you can speed up the process by foilier feeding with epsom salts 1 tsp to a gallon ph'd to 6.5~6.8

Epsom salts is Mag so no worries little grandmas everywhere have used it in their gardens forever

I spray em with lights off, lots of air movement and wait 1 to 2 hours after before turning lights back on

experiment documented in my balls thread 3 plants, same strain (clones from same mom) same nutes, soil lights etc

#1 removed all fan leaves final main cola 5 inches

#2 removed some fan leaves final main cola 7 inches

#3 removed NO leaves final main cola 12 inches

peace out

Alright thanks man, foliar feeding would be spraying the leaves all over right?

just buy ca/mg and hit them up with that. sure you can do salt, but they aren't getting enough of both anyways. reference my journal entry called, The Theory, to understand more about nutrient availability and stress.

dude, your "experiment" says nothing about overall weight, when you took off the leaves, how you took off the leaves, etc. Come on man, have you looked at my videos?? there's certain techniques you have to use, of course you don't want to just chop all the fan leaves....where were you're pics and videos to back all this up again?? you are a riddle...
