Nutrient deficiency or excess?

So I have a Bruce Banner Auto…8 weeks old; flowering for about 4 wks. She’s in a 3:1 blend of FFOF and FFHF soil and I’m feeding fox farm nutes. Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with her based on these pics? Not sure if she’s got a nutrient deficiency or excess or if it’s something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated - wanna see what i can do to get it back to health!

I was thinking that too, but I’ve been feeding Cal Mag so not sure why that’d be…

I’ll play… this is how i see the pic. The plant is in flower, so its getting all the flower nutes it needs, including calmag. So, either the ph is not correct for the stage of flower its in or to much food is being given trying to fatten the buds and has caused a nute lockout, therefore creating deficiencies. If the potassium gets to high it will not bond with the micro nutes and transport them through the plant.

Also, the specific FF nutes I’ve been feeding are: Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Cal Mag, and the flowering solubles (currently feeding Beastie Bloomz). Started the grow with nutes at 75-100% strength, then cut to 50% when i noticed the issues. Keeping PPM in the solution around 700-800; runoff numbers are slightly higher but there’s residual nutes in my drain tray which i think throws off the runoff

agreed with @NUG61. whats the ph going in and coming out? what the ppm readings for run off?

You probably just fixed it, now just get the ph for growth stage correct :+1:

i use a mini shopvac to suck the water out of the tray or the tent floor lol

That’s a good idea…i could prolly put a little bowl down to catch the runoff so i can get a better reading

i forgot to ask, but have you been doing scheduled FF Sledge Hammer Flush?

No, I ended up deciding against it based on a bunch of reviews I read…also its not sold in like 10 states :sob:

But i did do a regular water flush which seems to have helped

I had to order it online. didnt want to chance it and mess up the plants, FF is pretty strong nutes

Yeah, I’m still strongly considering it tbh
