Update: Most of them have recovered and the defficiency did not advance but for some reason one plant seem to have problems and i am not sure what it does not like. It does not looks normal:

It has a little nutes burn but i can see that something is off with the pistils, why they standing and curling like that, that is not normal, i have never seen that happening before ever.....

The defficiency stopped there, it did not advance to upper leaves... so i guess i got that right but something is still going on with her, it doesn't like something and i don't know what....

3 of the autos are 15 days into flowering, 2 of them are 5 days into flowering and 1 auto is 17 days old since seed. the 2 photos are 35 days into veg. About 10 more days and i switch to 10/14.

I have been feeding them (those 3 autos that are 15 days into flowering) big bud 2ml/L for the last week, and i'l also keep feeding them for the next week then i will change to pk fury from there onward until harvest when 10 days before harvest il give them ripen.

just so you know. a fan blowing directly on a plant will make the leafs look fucked up. its better they dont get hit directly from the fan.

That looks like to much nitrogen IMO. heat stress, usually the points around the leafs will point up n look spikey.

you need to get something to catch the water so when you let it get to dry you can let it sit in a pool of water and suck it up. I dont think putting a fan on the pots is going to do anything either if their in dirt. good luck with your grow

Besides some darker green why do you say N? No blanched leaf tips at all. The first sign usually. Not refuting you but asking.

thats what some of my plants have looked like when I over did it on nutes. its odd cuz you can hit all your plants with the same nutes n only have one that looks like shit from it in my experience.

It could be heat stress cause the fan is blowing in that way, but there's no way i can put the fan to blow elsewhere, if its not going on the plants it can only blow on the HPS......

I guess i'l feed her less N than the others then. Its starting to flower so it will require less N from now on therefore il go down 30% on the dosage..... perhaps that helps and also il try to make the fan blow somewhere else

I liked it for you outlier. You have to be given "like" privileges. Has something to do with becoming established? after you've been here a while or maybe based on activity..not for sure. Anyway, I agree...the plants are looking better.

Hey guys, a few days ago my plants were fine, 2 days ago started getting sick now they look like they are on the death bed.

From my experience this looks like it started with a Nitrogen defficiency (and i believe it was PH problem because now when i checked at the last watering after adding all the nutes it was like 5.0 and i stabilized it at around 6.

Add that combined with TOO much light, i just switched from 24/0 to 18/6 and in about 2-3 weeks il change to 12/12 after the little one gets a bit bushy.

On top of that they look like they are overwatered (that's whats up with all the dropy leaves and when i touch the leaves they feel like wet paper or close to that). It's strange that they are overwatered because with these smart pots it looks like they need water like every 5 days, perhaps i've given them too much water i suppose, tought i've only given until i saw run off.....

And cherry on top there's also a heating problem even tough the termometer says 27-28C. (I have noticed this started after i've installed a BIG fan in the room and it blew the air on the what seems to be the most affected plant (Paradise Seeds - Vertigo). I have set that fan down on the floor and i believed it just moved the hot air in the grow, blowing it on plants, especially this one that looks like its almost dead. Anything else you spot on that i am missing?

If i dont fix this now i dont think that this plant will survive till the the end, it still has about 5-6 weeks left.....

I am thinking on the next watering to go only water, as last time i've given them quite a bit of nutes to fix that nitrogen deficiency
My leaf just started to die the exact same way. I ended up trimming it off and am working on adjusting ph levels. I guess you already figured out that was your problem, Hopefully your baby's make it

I would not recommend to cut or trim a leaf that started to have problems, especially if you are in flower. Why? Because there is still nutrients and the plant can use that leaf for photositesys, it will eventually die but let the plant choose when to get rid of it. What will happen is that a new leave will start to have problems after that. Don't treat nutrients defficiency as a disease that spreads to other leaves cause it does not work like that...... you only harm it more by cutting off the affected leaves...... hope it gets better

PS: Also i don't see anything wrong with that leave.... maybe a nutrient drop spill? You migh thave cut a healthy leaf.

Not at all Kili. outlier stated he could not give your photo's a like in his post #20 of this thread, and I liked the pictures too, so I "liked" it for us both. I also mentioned to outlier that you have to be here a bit before you can give likes. Sorry for being so obtuse.

Ahh, alright, i got it all wrong then, sorry. Thank you for the likes ^^. Hopefully all goes good all the way to harvest and il come with a smoke report on those babies even tough il use most of them for cannabis concentrated oil but i will save a few for my vaporizer ofcourse ^^.

There's a picture of it, its under the light so hard to see the color. But it was pretty dried up i haven't cut any more sense, but then again none have gotten this bad sense

Think of it that way, if it still has green in it then it still has resources, if its ALL dried and yellow (but at this stage just by touching them they fall off) you can take it off...

Not sure but its either nitrogen toxicity or heat stress. Whats the temp and how much nutes do you give it and how often? See that crawl clawlike leaves that nitrogen toxicity and heat stress
