Hi guys,

my ladies are running into day 10 of flowering just now.

however, for the last couple of days i've been noticing lots of browning leaves from the bottom working upwards..some at the bottom are yellowish with brown spots, but the others are curling up and browning mostly. They seem crispy and very dry, easy to tare.

Here are some pics,

I had just flushed today with Clearex, and I'm hoping the suggestions you guys give me I can put it towards my next feed in a couple of days.

The upper leaves that aren't as bad as this, look like they are developing a clear blotch that's gunna end up looking like those up there.. here's the pic

People are going to ask you to tell us what you have been feeding them and if you are checking pH.

Hard to help without a little more info.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

My last feed before I flushed yesterday , was half strength Lucas formula with 1 tsp/gallon of monster bloom and 1ml/ cal-mag. The next few days it I let them dry till I flushed last night with about 2 Gallons of Clearex into my 3G containers.

When I flush, I make it rain at ph 5.6 to 5.8. Yesterday the run off was at 6.1 pH.

400 cfm
200 intake
1000 watt HPS with 6" XXL Mag Reflector
Dehumidifier
Temps - 75 - 85
Humidity - 35-50
10 days flowering.
Promix BX I believe.

how big are those grow pots. If its happening to just the big ones i'd say they ran out of root space but its too late to worry about that. try a Micro/macro supplement with Copper

@NizzaThey are 3 Gallon pots. I was told they would be enough? Even though my Violator Kush is over 3 feet, I only vegged for one month in a gallon pot before transplanting into 3 Gallons. The others are standing over a foot, the second tallest is two feet. How can I run out of root space already?!?!?! Should I worry at all? Forgot to mention, this isn't really happening on my biggest ones at all.. My Violator Kush is is over 3 feet and It's looking better then the other ones. It has some slight botches of bright yellow spots on the leaves, but I'm guessing that's from the PH fluctuation from long time ago. They still look healthy. Here's a picture from this morning..
Day 11 Flowering(Oct 15, 2012).jpg

It's happening to the second biggest one, and the ones next to em are kind of slowly being effected. I see yellow leaves at the bottom(One or two, old leaves) yellowing / browning up. However, the other leaves look like(especially the new ones) reddish/brown spots that effect it slowly and turn it into a dry, brown/yellowish dead leaf? Weird. help!
Also they're moving up the plant, getting worse over the past couple days. I'm not sure if the flush helped it or not, because the leaves still look the same(the effected ones) and I'm not sure where else to look for progress.

What could it be? I'm thinking K deficiency?

I'm going to feed today because this morning the pots seem light after yesterday's flush. The top two inches are dry. Is it normal for pots to dry up that fast? Lol, my humidity is at 41 when I last checked it. Could the pots be that dry because of the humidity?
