Hasnt gotten worse but dont think I solved my problem, from what I read things take alittle time to know if corrected. I have noticed the top leaves were feeling dry and rough now most feel soft, not sure if that means anything678019CF-AD31-4E7E-A9BB-5709541DF3F1.jpeg F6C1EBD0-EE84-4203-BF24-A56AEF647226.jpeg

You started this thread on the 8th. How many times have you watered since the 8th?
If you water soil to often and do not let it dry out enough before watering, a low PH problem develops. If that is the problem the best action is to let the soil dry out, meaning not water until the pot is light. Then after it dried out it would need to be watered with cal/mag.
If you water the plants with cal mag before they dry out you are not fixing the problem.
Do you have a cheap moisture probe?
Can you weigh one of them?
Won't hurt anything if you set one or two plants aside and do nothing to them, let them dry out, you might be surprised to see how they react to being given a chance to dry out.

Watered the 8th and 11th I believe. Theyre in 3 gal pots with two cmh315s 5x5 tent so theyre dryin up quick lately. I noticed lately the leaves have been kind of pointed up slightly looking alittle better but obviously tbe damage isnt going to dissappear. Noticed the leaves are softer now. (Also oved the light up about two weeks ago which helped) The fan leaves are whats looking rough but new growth is green and colas are getting fat. Just weird everything underneath is green which made me think the lights needed to get raised

Pullen bro. They aren' doing a damn thing for that plant besides blocking light from your lower buds. Good luck man.
Think that wouldnt hurt the situation? Everything underneath is nice and green almost feelin like these leaves are blockin light as well

Calcium and Magnesium deficient. Common problem with Fox Farms soil and nutes, as their mediums never contain enough lime. And their liquid nutes other than Big Bloom contain neither Ca or Mg. A bottle of CalMag is Fox Farm nutrients best friend.

I'm having the same issue.View attachment 4043052 View attachment 4043054

I am using all gh nutes. I will be sadly hi eat I know I have over nutes my plants. I did not use cal mag nutes on this run.

I am going to flush them on the runoff like you all have mentioned. They do not have much longer and they are super sticky. Hopefully it's not top late to repair.

I want to use tap water but there is so much chlorine in our water that it smells almost as bad as YMCA pool water.

What strain is that? Anything I mention in the beginning of the forum sound familiar with what you have going on? As far as set up and condition wise?

Leaves only absorb the PAR energy they can use. The rest passes through to the next leaf. The shadows our eyes see are not seen by the plant. Bud sites do little if any photosynthesis.

Hello @Tudypop sorry I did not mean to chime in the way I did. But my grow is similar.

This is sprout from seed from Amsterdam seed bank. Its suppose to be their premium line of ak47 fems. My begining ph is a steady 5.6, I have never tested my runoff ph or ppm. Because I have never had a problem. I think I know why I have a issue with my setup. I think my plants need to be transplanted to a larger container so the roots can breathe . I have them in a 5 gallon cloth pot and they could really use a 10 gallon now to be honest. I can tell you these ladies are all root. They really need an upgrade to a larger pot and new dirt.

I am going to water tonight. I have never used calmag so I am just feeding spring water and calmag. I blasted all of my plants with nutes that they did not need. A newbie mistake.
