I had issues with one of my WW plants, it started with lower healthy green fan leaves going limp and falling off at the stem. Now the drooping leaves problem has made its way up the plant and now Im noticing the tips of branches where flowers should be forming they are instead crisping off. They look like their dying.
PH 6.0, temps 82, PPM 1600 combo of 1tsp/gal. CalMag, GH Bloom, Diamond Nectar, Floralicious Plus and KoolBloom. Plant with most developed problem is 5wksflwr the others are 2 wks behind and just starting to show problems. Im growing in ebbnflo in hydroton. Over/under watering? Plant overgrown container?

Photos will help tremendously. If you're in ebb and flow, and ALL plants are starting to show the same symptoms it's possible the water has some type of disease, such as pythium.

Sorry some piece of shit stole my camera, im broke cant get new one yet but yeah only two plants really have the problem, my other 3 look perfect but they are about 3wks behind. Ive stopped watering for 2 days now and they seem to have stopped getting any worse. I think because my vegg ebb n flo is shallower and I water them more often switching them to my flower ebb they are submerged deeper therefore getting much more moisture. Basically I fukd up n overwater them, I think.

Been a few days now and the original ww fell limp and I pulled it. the roots had barely progressed any since being placed in flwr and my cutting back watering isnt the problem it seems. what else should i look for

As a way to experiment and hopefully figure out the problem I gave a well vegg'd 16" two top plant to my friend and after 1 week the thing is a beast. The only difference is he is growing in 5gal dwc buckets and under 600watt . We use same nute formula and both RO water. Same hr schedule.

My nute formula came from someone with 10+ yrs medi growin so I thought it'd be ok but diff strains and less experience=me destroying 6 plants

Plants are out of order in pics but second pic is beggining stage, third is where leaves start looking real bad and first pic is where they were before I destroyed them. What the hell!?!?

They dont look burnt to me. Although your nutes are high for the stage of your plant. Flush with RO water then back off on the nutes to around 800 ppm for awhile, before increasing them any further see how they are reacting and re-evaluate.

I would cut the ppm's down to around 1200,over watering will make the leave's sag but it would not cause the node's the budding site's to burn ang crisp up.I think that the problem lie's with the ppm's been far too high i would have them no higher than 1200 during about week 6 of flowering.But build up to this during the weeks before also only water once a week at most if the containers dry before the week 7 days the containers are too small and the room is too hot.I use 10 litre container's for each plant and this allows you to wet the plant's through and allow them to dry,then you can get into the routine of watering on the same day every week.Have the ph set at 6.5 flush them through with water at least two time's during the flowering stage once at around week 4 and again at the final week.This is why bio bizz is the best soil out there only water is needed through the vegging stage all the feed is in the soil.
