It is possible that you have a lockout if you d been feeding that much. Without numbers you’re just guessing.

Indeed, it's sort of like flying blind. What would you think about this idea: completely flush the soil and add solution of GH + calmag at 1.6 - 1.8EC (800 - 900 ppm). Obviously I can't actually measure it so I'm going by the EC values interval on the bottles.
Ton kind of reset the situation. I did raise the light too.

Can be Calcium built-up, which cause pH drift up sky high and by its way locking other nuts out... big possibility since you feed full dose calmag every watering together with tap.

My tap water is around 100ppm just by itself. That's why I've been adding the calmag

Try plain water with 1 TBLS Epsom of water per gallon. I’m not a fan of flushing myself. But it’s your call.

Also, I started the flushing with pH 6.5 water and the runoff has pH 5.4... That seems not good to me

I wouldn’t focus on that. Flush with 6.8 if you can. Only worry about what’s going in.

but yes that could be in indication of lockout.

So now that you flushed add back Epsom at 1 TBLS per gallon on the last gallon or two of water you flush with.

Well I don't have any epsom salts, can't go get some cuz of the shops being closed due to a lockdown and earliest delivery would be on Tuesday. So that will have to wait for a few days

As your plant slowly dies. You can get it at Walgreens/pharmacies etc just make sure you don’t get scented.

Well we don't have those brands over here and hobby markets and pretty much anything that doesn't sell majorly food is closed because of the virus. So it's kind of awkward getting things that you don't easily find in Tesco or something xD
Anyway, gonna try tomorrow the pharmacy route

Ok so hardware stores or anywhere selling plant food should have it. I didn’t realize you weren’t in US. Sorry

It's fine, I can translate brands and measurements to local ones XD Hardware stores and gardening supplies are closed too. It's fun times over here. Anyway, I have 2 other plants which are 2 weeks behind this one. I'm using this one to learn and hopefully not repeat the mistakes on the others. They are so far fine, just started week 3 of flower.

Not that anyone watches this thread but just in case, a little follow-up. I did the flush and added the epsom salts to a solution of roughly 900ppm (ish, still can't actually measure it) And the damage has stopped progressing and everything seems to be ok. Gonna get a new EC meter this week so hopefully the plant will survive to the end of flower. Thanks for the advice :)

Ok one question. Hopefully your ppm of your tap water plus Epsom doesn’t = 900 ppm? That seems high to me. Honestly I’ve never checked my ppm when I use water and Epsom only.

I would think if your tap is ~275 I wouldn’t think there would be ~600 ppm of Epsom.

also Yes we are still watching this thread. And don’t forget you can always tag one of us. Or just bump your thread (like you did today)

My tap water is around 100ppm maybe even lower. But no, it was not just water + epsom there were other nutrients added because of the flush so the 900-ish is the total.
