2 weeks until harvest. Slight nute burn from 4+ weeks ago, but the rust color on the small leaves are from the past few days. GH Floranova bloom @ 800ppm w/ 5ml CalMag + every other watering. Started flushing 2 days ago, pure water. What's going on? Any guesses?

PH is at about 7 according to my 3 in 1 soil tester. When I water with nutes the PH is 5.8, and plane water is PH 7. Last week my PH was creeping up past 7.0 so I watered with plane water PHed to 5. This brought the soil PH back down to 7.

you are getting nute lockout due to a high PH. honestly at this point it wont matter because you are going to harvest in 2 weeks. remember the plant is ending its life cycle now that all the buds are produced.

People on this site worry to much, ok, ok, i do to at times but some people really do have to read some books, PLEASE BUY a book there is plenty on the go with pics so you know what you are doing and what to look for, or mags, HIGH TIMES/ WEED WORLD. i know we all have to learn, but some people are coming on saying---whats a male---whats a female READ A BOOK !

I have a book, I've done my research, but with my lack of experience I'm still unable to tell what my problem is. Nute lockout due to high PH... I've read in at least 5 different places that, for soil, a PH of 6 - 7 was best. My PH is 7. So it's on the high end but hardly to the point of lockout. Remember, PH 7 is neutral. I think my question and problem are valid and if you want to rant about stupid questions take it to a diffrent thread and stay out of mine.

I know it doesn't matter and I should just ride the week and a half out till harvest, but then I'm not learning anything. I'd like to know what's going on incase it happens again. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky and it'll happen half way in.

ghost 420 is pretty much spot on. it could be a myriad of things that stemmed from the nute burn. you want your plants nitrogen deficient last 2-3 weeks of flowering. the spotting looks like it could have been from the nute burn or feeding with too hihg of a ph. 6.5-6.8 is the level for soil-trust me .2 can and will make a difference. there is a chart around here somewhere that shows what nutes get locked out at what ph.
but again, you are close to harvest so you should be flushing, possibly with molasses-there is alot of info here at RIU on that-check it out
IMO, watering with a low ph will def cause lockout as you are flooding the roots with nutes but they may not have acess to them with a 5.8 ph-like magnesium. in the future try watering with ph'd water all the time. if you are watering with a lower ph to bring the soil ph down, than this could cause the problems you are seeing.
IMO, you have too much nitrogen in your plant still, see the very dark green and canoe'd new leaf growth? I think no more nutes, just water and molasses. maybe some P & K if your trichs are still clear but only a one time thing.
good luck bra
