Give us some pics of how your plants are looking.
Don't panic just because of what you're reading for PH.

I out of town working or I'd post some pics<<<<<,sux but I can tell you necrosis is starting on the older fan leaves like a magnesium deficiency on a few and a few others are starting to spot like spidermites but no mites in site!! They've been flowering for about 3 weeks now and are going down hill

What are they looking like now?
If you got any nutes hidden in your pockets I would say dump it, because you have a great discrepancy between what you are putting in, and what is coming out.
Give us some help man, so we can help you.
You were doing OK there for a bit.

New growth looks A okay, but older fan leaves getting crispier from the tips down about half the leaf. The other fan leaves are starting to yellow while the veins are still green. I had my girl water them today with 4.5 ph water again and am gonna have her check the ph inna few more hours. Another problem Ive been having is with heat issues, I'm running a 1000w in a batwing reflector w/deflector, and a 600w in a Hydrofarm raptor but no exuast hooked up yet. Day temps been in the lower 90's and night temps in the high 70's. I thought I'd have my a/c unit by the time it started getting this hot outside but fel behind on bills and had to keep the lights on. It's a 7x7 room, do u think if I cut out the 600w until I get an a/c it would help more ore hurt more? BTW I have my 600w dimmed down to 300w at the moment.

Do you run your "ON" cycle at night?
If not, flip it.

Yeah that's a good idea, I used to before I moved out in the country. The only issue with that is I use a window in the flower room for my exaust window, I have a box fan in the window that pulls from an adjacent window that faces the west so I get a good airflow. If I can MacGyver a way to keep my light from glowing for miles, I'm on the tallest hill around, I'd be in the clear to flip it. As of now I have Panda film adhered to the top of my window angled slightly back into my room to cut down on the "light show" so it pulls air from the bottom and sides of the film and on out the window.

Ya, Buds can be pretty direct most of the time, but he's a good guy.Dude I crack up everytime I read that quote, " That's bad nute burn, what happened forgot to add water?"
Don't call me a hero until you harvest, LOL.
Right click on those charts, and you can save them so you don't have to keep coming back to your thread if you want to look.
The most noticeable change since the flush has been a color loss of green on the plant that I noticed the issue on to begin with. That and the "bending" of leaves on the top cola...not sure if this is heat stress or something else. My temps have fluctuated between 74 at startup to about 80 by the time the day's through. Would this be a nitrogen def per the chart? Other plants are holding steady with no issues as of yet.
Neither here nor there...just happy to see em' still livin'

The color loss is most likely from N deficiency because you've interrupted the plants's normal feeding cycle and flushed out most of the nutes. If the pH was off to begin with then the plant may not have been getting all nute elements to begin with before this even started so that is probably a factor as well.
They should gain color and posture back shortly after you feed them their next nute. I would give them a fl dose of nutes on your next cycle if the pH is good.

I gave them 1/2 dose nutes at next feeding thinking less is more (probably read that here somewhere), runoff PH around 6.5-6.7. The plant that originally showed the deficiency is still showing yellowing leaves, but the new growth at the very bottom of the stem are green and growing. The N deficiency seems to only be showing in the middle of the plant. Sucks....she seemed to be the most productive. Actually still is...as the buds seem to be unaffected but I'm sure that will change if this continues. Other flushed plants seem fine but they weren't "pre-half-flushed" by me a week earlier...Here's an overall view and a close-up of the worst case. Not sure if I should spoon feed her separately or not. Lesson learned...fingers crossed. IRwan
