Have 2 plants that have pretty bad discoloration to their leaves, and 2 that it seems to just starting to effect. My first thought was nute burn, removed nutrients from the 2 plants that were being effected around 4 days ago. They still seem to be getting worse unfortunately. My next thought was the PH may be too high? I do test my PH every time i make the nutrient and regular water (between 5.8-6.2). Any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Also going to get some distilled water and recalibrate the PH tester.

@Tucci welcome back to the forum. I was having issues with ph and looked very similar. Calibrating your pen sounds like a good start. I hadn’t calibrated mine and nearly killed my grow. I calibrate every month now sometimes earlier. Best of luck my friend.

Using the fox farm trio of nutes. But ive cut them out for the time being.
Fox farm a little tricky because u reakky have to follow the feeding chart. But your ladies do look good
That’s Potassium deficiency.

So should i start up the nutes again? Or is there any specific way to add potassium?
I’d probably flush the pot, then resume pH’d feedings. Check in a week to see if problem continues or has stopped. This is only my opinion, since I don’t use bottled nutes.
Potash is K

Added the potash (sprinkled some on top of soil and watered over). Praying this does the job. Was curious if you guys thought this auto was ready? Checked with 90x jeweler loupe, looks like trichomes are just turning milky.
So basically everything died. I tried doing the potash and calibrated the PH tester, but all the plants got progressively worse. Im kind of at a loss now, ive never dealt with this before. Any suggestions? Id like to at least trh and save this auto here in the one picture. Not sure if the big girl is salvageable.

First thing I’m seeing is ph, it appears you are in soil, not coco. If so, your ph is to low, should be between 6.3 and 6.8 in soil. Going down to 5.8 can cause nutrient lockout. The second thing is I’m not a big fan of FF liquid nutrients. I’ve seen people do just fine with them, but mostly see people having issues with FF nutes. Honestly as far diagnosing current issue’s, I’m not really going to be able to help. I’ll tag a couple more people who could possibly be able to help out.

I can’t add anything to what you’ve stated. A support ticket would be helpful. Here’s a chart that illustrates potential lockout that @Bulldognuts referred to.

Thanks guys! Yeah i actually raised the PH to the proper level (between 6.3-6.8) after doing a bit more reading. Are there any particular nutes you guys would recommend?
