How'ya doing? It looks like some type of lock out or possible burn/ph issues~
What's growing medium/hydro/dirt/nutes and what size pots or
whatever your into? Would be helpful in determining your problem~

How big is the rock wool? What nutrients and how much of them?
Did you pretreated the rock wool? Soaking it in 5.5 water for an hour at least
I do it longer! And bigger I have some in 7 gallons of rock wool.:lol:
They call this hillbilly hydro:lol: How do you plan to grow this?

the rookwool is 3inch.
i pre soaked the rock wool in the ionic grow. it says to add 7ml of ionic to 1 ltr of water. I soaked in 6 ltr of water.

plan to grow using 60ltr nft system sodium lights and red spectrum flourecents.

off to take some pictures

IMO i think its a phos toxixitity i would flush your medium 3 - 4 times its volume with light feed MJ loves phos but to much will interfear with calcium,copper,mg,zn up take

Only 3 inches? The leaves looks 3", How big is the plant? Is there roots growing out of the rock wool? It's maybe time to transplant it's hard to say without a pic. The soak you're talk about I'm sorry but it's unfamiliar to me, does it lower the ph? You do check your ph and ppm's? :lol:

the plants raing from 3-6" the roots were so they were transplanted from 1" cubes to 3inch cubes that the go into the nft system.

No it doesnt lower the ph, just has everything in it the plant needs to grow, I have to balance the ph myself using ph up and down. my tap water ph is 6.2 i thought that was fine as that is what is says on the ph card.

should i flush them?
If so for how long?
How do i flush them?

thanks guys, there are alot of little plants needing your help!

It looks a little overfed to me i would flush it with plain water 1/4 strength feed also it looks ok on new growth might of been from when the plant was using some stored nitrogen to help grow an root

Look bro nobody here KNOWS what the problem is, can only speculate. Your the one whos been messing with it the whole time, your going to know if you've been over watering, over feeding, ect. Several things can cause deficiencies or the appearance of them. Prime example my plant looked like it had a Cal/mg deficiency at first, which evolved into a phosphorus deficiency, the obviously remedies were not working to fix the problem. Turned out the water i was using was "hard" and had excessive amounts of calcium and mg already in it, which caused my soil to lock out the phosphorus, so it was'nt really a deficiency at all. Its things like that you need to consider. Your best bet would be to flush the soil well, then on next feeding give it the normal dose it requires. If your over feeding you will notice things will keep getting worse, if your under feeding you will notice the deficiency progression slow down over then next week but not correct itself. I have a feeling you may be having something cause lockout of another nutrient. I dont think its over feeding because a key thing to remember is, nutrient burn or over feeding of something will show in the new upper growth first, where a deficiency will appear in the lower older foliage first, like yours..which means the plant is'nt getting certain nutes from the soil so its taking it from the older bigger leaves
