My LSD showed signs of getting better but now the top of my plant has turned yellow and looks a bit burned. is this nitrogen defiency? should i feed even more?
my PH is about 6.0 and ppm is about 500.

500 seems a bit high for those little guys. Whats the runoff reading? Id say 400 would be good for them. Are you adding calmag?

I have grown LSD in the past. It is a heavy feeder, especially Nitrogen. And seems to prefer a bit more Magnesium than most.

Yeah, 500ppm was now when i was dosing up because maybe it needed nutrients.... should i add cal mag?
So what was the runoff ppm? Calmag wont hurt if your not running it. I run it. At peak feeding i run around 120/150 ppm. I gradually add more up to that point.

Looks like they are certainly needing more Magnesium. Cal/Mag would help. Epsoms Salts would also help. But not add any Calcium which it may not need.
Its true they might not need it but if hes low in the one the plant feeds heavy on theres also a good chance hes low in the other. He doesnt say if hes adding micros or what food hes running so it's hard to tell.

what type of coco? did you soak it before using? lloks like lockout. flush well with 5.7ish water and resume ferts in a week.

I agree, not enough info on nutes. Monitor new growth and most immobile element problems can dealt with quickly. And Cal/Mag would be fine.

I use the full range of HESI-COCO products :) thats all i use , i also have liquid BatGuano but i have not started using it!
The damaged leaves on her are getting worse and are dying , but the new growth looks like it is getting the green color back . i noticed the LSD got more and more yellow color and then some of the leaves got bad and it started from the bottom and going up , now the top has many damaged leaves , but it may look like the plant is getting better ! i dont have much experience and i am learning so much thank you all for the response.

I ran my barneys cookies and kush at 380 most all through veg and then went from there to 450 early flowering bumped up to 600 till flush and they did great..had two very different phenos though the first was very kushy with just a little cookies in the smell and she was a beast the stretch was never ending at least 3 times the starting point huge trunk and buds super thick and heavy..got over a pound in one dwc 5 gallon bucket..the pic is of the last one I just cut true cookie pheno tall but lots of half dollar bud sights decent yeild but great smell and bag appeal..hope this helps you girls do look good keep it up.

krisf11, give more info about what you feed, how much and how often you feed. From your pics, it looks like too much phosphorus, but that's just a guess right now. are you using the p/k additive on top of the 3,4,5 base fert? I'm guessing that the coco is trapping a lot of fert so you don't really need to feed so often.

i think you are right about about to much phosphorus here because we just found out there has been a missunderstanding with the nutrients. and instead of getting Cal-mag the they were given P/K 13 /14 ! The plant that is really sick here is the plant that showed cal-mag defiencies...
i have flushed and feed the plants again ,
cookies kush are looking alot better, the LSD i am not sure will make it .....

I am not sure, but that is what i thoutht it was.
the 2 plants were given the same feed until the other got sick,. i was suppose to give the plant cal.mag nutes but gave it PK/13!14.
i have done some mistakes here but i will try my best to make the best for the plants :)

so i have an update on the sick plant and a question. the plant has shown new green growth and the plant is not yellow any more , exept for the top leaves that keep yellowing and dying..
i just want to see if someone sees what might be wrong with her . the other plant is doing great, had some burned tips but i have fixed that problem, :)

My PH meter is broken, so i have to get a new one, my ph has been around 6.0 when i measured.
can some of the damage on the plant be because i have the lights to close? i have a mars2 1200w _(600w real ) i have had the light closer before but the plant got so bushy and short so i have more distance to canopy now. i have the light about 75CM/30inches away now!
