Ok guys need your help , I can't seem to work the problem out , The plants are Malawi photos 3rd week into flowering , soil ph is 6.5 and they have had a big flush with ph 6.5 water , the soil is the same as I always use, Humidity is around 50 % temp 26 c to 24 c , light cycle is 12/12 [ led lights ] distance from plants 18 inches . Also the leaves just fall off on there own .

:toke: Hec', how are ya mate? ....so, this is Malawi Gold you have here? -superb strain! ...Hec, I need some whole plant pics please, so I can assess things better; the leaves here, are they from low, mid, or upper growth? Where did they start?.... need nute and supplements info- brand and feed regime,... has pH been okay and steady, or had recent hiccups? Symptoms look well advanced (hence the dropping off), and likely more than one thing going on,... confusing! They have the yellowing of N defc., though S can look similar,... purple petioles of P defc.,...tip necrosis is overlapping with a few other defc.'s but these kinda look P related,... dead spots by the serrations look like K defc.,...:doh:...a diagnostic tangle! ...no funny business growth/bloom hormones, vitamin overdose , stuff like that I assume?
 
@Waira it started about 3 weeks ago , I have feed them once with liquid seaweed at 1/2 strength , and no .no funny business growth/bloom hormones, vitamin overdose , -- they have had 2 or 3 feeds of AN bloom again 1/2 strength . It stared just after they started to flower , bottom leaves then worked it's way up , the buds still seem to be growing .I have been feeding light when I do . They have not had full strength yet as it says on the ace site not to feed to strong , could it be I have under fed them . ?
 
Hi Hecno, are the top fan leaves green or they turning pale?
The yellow suggests lack of nitrogen but you have also burn marks on the serrations(maybe more calcium required) but I see the tips have slight burns too(so no more nutes for now). Has it been very hot for the last few weeks?

Some pics of the entire plant would help. If it wasn't for your comment on stable PH, I would think you have nute blockout. Do you know your soil moisture level(use a soil probe).
Let's wait for the pics and if it settles down now that you have flushed.

Good luck
 
It might be hungry for nitrogen. I see the bud tips are the greenest and then it bleaches down from there. Your last picture shows wet soil, so I would not recommend any nutes to the soil for now(constant wet is no good). I would try 1ml fish nute per litre foilar feed daily for 1 week and then evaluate again. Do not foliar feed fish nutes just before harvest as it leaves an after taste on your buds! If you do not have any fish emulsion, then A & B will be fine.

Do nothing until Waira comments as I might be mistaken and your plants should not shocked any further.
 
@dingo Thanks mate , the soil is wet from a big plain water ph 6.5 flush , I use my A8 to judge when to water , I let it get to 6 and a 1/2 before I water again . The soil is wet because after I flushed it 4 days ago I got to thinking I may have been feeding her to light , so I did 3 ml a ltr Advanced Nutrients A and B , Bloom . and 2 ml ltr bud candy , she had a 3 ltr feed . Compared to the Golden Tiger .I am finding the Malawi is not for beginners .
 
Hec, Dingo- :smokeout:......Well, if the soil pH is good, then I'd say from the looks of them, they're starvin' for food, long term,... keep in mind Hec', that these are photo's with higher nute demand and tolerances, and AN in mild stuff,... also, AN is a highly divided nute' line, and unless you've a dozen fekking bottles of this-that-WTF-all else, all being used in conjunction, you can end up with 'holes" in your nutrient spectrum,... All this said, I'd say the defc.'s are lack-of type, so crank-up the feed conc. right away, including some Grow or fish-goo (typically is about 5-1-1) in there, to get some extra N... don't foliar with fish-goo, too much oily stuff that tends to stick,... as long as your blended nutes aren't heavily favored with N, it won't mess with blooming,... in fact, if there's a bloom booster with higher PK#'s than the reg. bloom, use that to blend with instead,...
...:eyebrows: Malawi is very close to her landrace parents, a true African sativa, so she might be more high maintenance than most other strains,...:doh: .... another nice Sati' to consider is Acapulco Gold :drool:-- Wwwillie, my HT homie, has grow her a few times now, and it seems this one is not as slow ripening and nute-bitchy as some other Sativas,.... :cheers:
