I've been having some issues with 3 of my plants, I am currently in week 5 flowering. At first I thought it was PH issues, I adjusted the PH in soil and now it sits within 6.4-7...
The signs started about 2 weeks ago and I've been working on it since then.
This is what I did,
1) Upon receiving my PH and fertility meter I tested the soil, it had low PH and very fertile soil, after reading it made sense since low PH created nutes block and nutes just kept piling up in my soil.
2) I kept flushing for over a week, I am using garden soil mixed with manure and compost so flushing was very hard I couldn't do it in one go.
3) As I was flushing plants started to look better and I thought this could be due to PH raising within normal levels therefore plants are now using the nutes in the soil.
4) Now they are showing signs and getting worse again. Can it be nutes burn?
Last signs started as follows
1) the tip of the older leaves burning
2) the burning gradually moved to the leaves, not in spots.
3) Petioles started turning pink, starting from leaf end till it got to stem end.
4) Pink started getting darker till it became purple. At this point all that I read said pink/purple petioles if not genetics is nutes deficiencies, that's when I got totally lost and panicked. I gave one feeding with 500 PPM NPK 20:20:20, 200 PPM calcium, and 300 PPM trace elements.
5) main stems now are developing pink lines starting from the top.
Pls advice, any additional info needed just mention it
