HELP!!! Mid-Flower and MAJOR LOSS of fan leaves!!!

Gotta watch out with that though...I used cal mag once, and I guess it was more Ca or Mg then I needed, because then I got to see what a calcium deficiency really looks like...lol. It wasn't what I had prior to the cal mag...that is for damn sure...lol. So, calmag is not the magic answer, I promise.

I can't see neut burn happening at a very light level of FF nuets for the OP. Doesn't make sense.

Im in about week 7 of a WW grow. My buds started swelling and crystal production began about 2 weeks ago, so im in the final streth of waiting. However, my upper fan leaves are curling up, dying, and turning brown from the tips inward. There are brown spots throughout many of the upper fan leaves. This all started about a week ago, and is progressing FAST! What the hell is going on?
Heat stress?
Lack of water stress?
Nute deficiencies?... my ph is 6.6 and I flush every 3 weeks...

my lower fan leaves have slowly turned yellow, which I see as normal in these stages of flowering.



ALSO, if you cannot help on the above problem, do you think that my buds will stop developing? will the lack of fan leaves cause such a steep drop in energy that the plants receive, such that the buds will not have enough energy to ripen? Im not expecting further bud growth at this point, only for the existing buds to swell and ripen.

Would the small leaves around buds catch enough light to sustain the bud development?

at this point im accepting the fact that real growth will continue, bc the fan leaves are lost forever... im just really worried that my half-developed yeild will stay stuck at its current state... ANY THOUGHTS!?!?!!?


ill put up some pics once i find my camera cord...

I think flushing your plants evry 3 days is a bit strange init bro? I only feed mine every two days with nutes anyway so by the time youv flushed them plants and water with nutes a couple of times your soil must be pretty drenched constantly? Heard cannabis plants love the dry spells for root development. When the waters dry the roots grow insearch of water becoming more effective plants. Id chill out with the constant flushing but thats just me.

I have reused the same organic soil for 4 years now..adding things when other plants aren't using it...guano, and such...and now I can't fertilize any of my plants at all...I can give carb boosters, but this last run my plants were too sticky...not like oh yeah big sticky buds...but like sweet jesus look at my grinder, and I have to clean my vape screen every single time I want to use it...so that sucks, anyway I have even overdone carb boosters...lol.

I have one strain that doesn't like any extra nitrogen at all..it is the strain I started with...the description said go easy on nutes...so I started at 1/8...it was too much...so I tried 1/8th dose only every other water, every 3 rd water..so on and so forth...and time and time again I have tried to just sneak just a little bit of nutes in there and she always catches me and freaks out...the best she ever looked I took a clone that was all curly taken from a long line of curly burnt tip plants and I just left it in a corner for 6 months...I would splash water at her her soil started to blow away in the fan...and the leaves straightened and she was so beautiful, and then! And Then! >>>Being me again I freaking though surely after 6 months and no nutes she can take some...and now I am flowering yet another ugly curly version of this plant...lol. I had to trim her back over and over and over in the six months the first time...lol. anyway... Some plants don't like nutes at all...so you don't rule out nute burn due to the fact that you aren't feeding much..You just don't know what is going on in the soil or water or anything...so it is super hard to get anything like this figured out, and with no pictures >>> impossible, but I have over fertilized plants in so many different ways...not because i used too much., but because some plants are super sensitive while others are not...

wow...^^^this too...Coco shouldn't be let to dry totally totally out, but it should be let dry...like the pot gets light dry..soooo that could also be your culprit...but over water and overfeed often cause the same symptoms and go hand in hand...since watering is feeding most of the time...except when you skip a feed or two..then it is just overwatering..

Now, if your in no hurry you could go back
to veg and up your leaf count then revert
back to flower. I did this by accident once
and it worked but do not listen to me, I
am the type that goes against the grain
sometimes.
