Still acting crazy

So a couple weeks ago I posted and I thought I figured it out ....my plant started getting burned tips and curling, kind of losing its nice green color. I checked the runoff ph and it was really acidic. I started flushing, I thought the plant was getting a little better so I cut off the tips that were burned. I then gave it a quarter dose of calmag, big bloom and tiger bloom. Now this is happening.....I posted pics. The newer smaller leaves toward the bottom don’t seem to be affected that much(the last 2 pics). Idk what to do I’m on day 42 of flower. Did this ever happen to anyone else??

Calmag + tiger bloom = a lot of N in flower depending on how much your feeding. If I give calmag I don’t give tigerbloom, only big bloom. I also only use 1/4 -1/2 strength of tiger bloom when I do use it. My opinion is too much N causing the burning. They don’t look too bad though.

I have it 1/4 strength, do u think I should water it with just 1/4 strength tiger bloom and big bloom? Or just distilled water i let it dry out.

I’d chill with the N. Are you feeding every watering? Should feed-water-feed etc.

I gave you the answer to your problem in your original thread on the issue...you chose to ignore it ;) As for N causing the burns...Too much nitrogen will not burn the tips.

I did listen, but it’s getting worse. I flushed dropped the nutes down to 1/4 strength. Potassium defiency....I just don’t know what to do to help, I’m only using big bloom right now because when I gave full doses of food it turned out the way it looks now.

Not sure how, i suggested to you then that you had a potassium deficiency..you proceeded to follow other posts and flush and i think cal-mag? Nowhree did i see you mention you upped the potassium. Even now..you say you flushed and using only big bloom...which like i stated..has no food in it! You need potassium! by the time the edges are burnt like that..the deficiency has been there for a couple weeks. I saw in your original post all the paling starting already..i even mentioned to you the next step you will see is all the edges turning brown and 'burning'..and here you are. Her favorite food is potassium..she takes that up the most..especially in mid-late flower!

Ditch the fox farm crap. I'm sure it works but I see problem threads from thier products all the time.

Don't test run off pH. It will have you chasing your tail. It's not accurate.

The proper way to test soil pH is to take equal parts soil to deionized water and test the slurry.

When using fox farm products use them at 1/4 strength.

From the pics it does look heavy on the N. Don't flush them heavy. Just use water only for the next few waterimgs. Until good run off.

Proper watering technique plays a role. You can feed full strength but need to alternate. Feed, water, feed, water etc. Or you can mix at 1/4 to half strength and feed Everytime you water.

Make sure to water until good run off to prevent salt buildup.

I think that's the biggest problem. Salt build up causing lock out. Water only for a while will help correct them.

Remember. Less is more. Keep it super simple.
