Windburn or something else?

From the research I've done, it doesn't look toooo much like windburn but it's just so centralized around the intake fan. Have you had windburn before Snoopy?

I also just have not come across a symptom like this before and it isn't matching any general nutrient/ph/salt buildup descriptions.

Closer to textbook over fert.......good luck.

Windburn? No, that's excessive fertilization.

Windburn is just some stoner nonsense.

Noted, I did a full flush a 7/8 days ago though - runoff around 200 ppm- and haven't got any problems until two days ago. The runoff has been fine since I flushed - I've been checking every time I water. so perhaps, but If it is where would it be coming from?

Xtsho said whats most likely, excessive ferts. The problem of curling could be more pronounced because of the increased transpiration. But the burn spots are not from windburn.

I had a plant that stretched its top to just into the exact middle of a fan on a high setting. I didn't look like that, its fan leaves were much much more tattered than that. But finished fine.

Gotcha Snoopy, guess I will be giving her another flush then. Thanks for the help man.

My assumption was always that windburn was just downward clawing and curling of leaves. I live in a valley near the ocean and my outdoor plant got it - if it exists - pretty bad a couple of months back.

Also, thanks for the input man!

Now looking, I really hope none of you guys are gonna steal my fingerprints from my pics

There is not much you can do after a N tox that severe to help the plants recover; they are FFL.... F@#!ed For Life. Everything on the plant is in weakened state. That may explain why normal air movement is affecting the leaves.

About the only thing you can do is baby the thing for the duration. I would cut the EC down by about a third and lower light intensity to around 500ppfd.

What if I just pull out all the nitrogen from my ferts?

When I have overdosed N before, I switched to the lowest N fert I had and ran it at lower EC. My plants never really recovered, but didn't get worse during veg.
Most of my leaves went from dark green to brown and burnt by late flower as well. I lost a good amount of yield for that F-up too.
I have no idea how much a complete N free fert would help now.
Only one way to find out....try it and share the results.

Just cut down the first one and the yield is pretty solid. Also, can confirm it was always windburn. It continues to spread in the same area and as soon as i moved the intake it stopped.
