I am not sure of the problem. I have flushed one time and flushed again today for the second time. I am using a a potting mix that has a PH of 7. I just checked that again for the 100th time. I have used Grow Big nute but not in a long time like 2 weeks.

The potting mix is from my neighbor that was just a base potting mix and we put perlite and vermiculite. He knows his stuff so I do not think it is the soil itself.

This plant is supposed to be my mother plant that I took a clone off a plant that is in flowering now.

there's two things I can think it might be -u know the pH of your soil, but have you checked the pH of the water your using?
Also, what are the npk ratios on the nutes ur using, the leaves look like it could be a potassium deficiency but thats a far fetch

also, do u have pics of her before u noticed any problems?

definitely looks like a nute burn. Even if you flush, it will still lose some leaves to stress. just pick all the burnt leaves off and water for another week before adding more nutes

Ok cool thank you. I am using Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom. I haven't used nutes in like 1 1/2 weeks since it started looking bad. I don't have pictures before stupid me on that one. I know the ph of the water before hand because I ph test it since my water has a high ph out of the tap.

If it is a potassium deficiency what can I do for that?

if its potassium its probably a lockout of the nutrient due to too much of another, but once u flush there won't be much more for her to take up - after a flush, add some organic source of potassium, (i was just readin that banana peels are good for this) in a small amount, and be patient, it moves slowly through the soil so recovery might take a bit.
just grind up the peels and mix em into the top layer of soil, id say use only 1/4 of a banana peel, as this can still provide nute burn in itself although its not a chemical fertilizer
keep us posted

They dont look potassium deprived, they will show reddish dots all over the leaves if they were. I would flush with water, then flush once with your new nutrient mix. A good idea is to buy a PPM meter and check the nutrient levels to make sure the plant is getting the right amount. If you keep guessing, they will always be under or over fertilized. Hope this helps, cheers!
