It could have to do with the strain, which is sharks breath ph. Is 7.1, soil is fox farm, i nute once a week with advance nutes, but i stopped with this plant 2weeks ago... I flushed it then and since gave it pure water but it still looks bad!! It is a free seed, but i would love to save it if possible. Any more questions on my set-up please check out my journal...... I am more worried about the color of alot of the branches that are purple i have never had this happen b4 just wondering if it's a big problem or common in this strain

Looks like a pH issue to me, definitely showing Cal-Mag problems.

My Shark's Breath is also a little princess. Anything goes wrong and she stomps around for weeks all pissed off. Too much Calcium will lock out phosphates, too much magnesium will lock out Potassium. And in this plant it has to be just right the whole way through, especially in flowering.

I'm glad to see your flowers looking very similar to mine. I thought maybe I got a kind of shwaggy ditch weed phenotype because they are so thin and airy. I heard this strain was something else, but after growing it, but before smoking it... I dunno. Many better strains out there in the world.

Drop your pH to 6.5 and toss in some cal-mag. It should at least keep things from getting much worse.

Yeah I too have noticed that Sharksbreath tends to be a rather finicky plant- very susceptible to over-nuting and pH problems. But definitely worth the extra care because it's really dank and has a really great lemon smell to it
