Possible Mag lockout.

[Gage]

So the main MI5 that i have been so proud of has taken a turn. I made a thread earlier trying to figure out the problem but i think its to late. I've done 2 gallons of 1 tbsp/gal of epsom salt and still not turning around. here are pics .

what do you suggest i do?

from what i can see its more than just Mg, i think that you have or still have a pH issue that has locked out the Mg so no matter what you throw at it, it wont correct its self.

you need to get the pH of the soil back in check, and then once that is back give it a Mg supplement. At the level you are at once you get it turned back around you may need both a chem fert and epsom salt dose. Noting drastic just minimal of each to get her what she needs to finish.

use some distilled water and get its pH right, bubble it and then flush her. If its in a gallon use two gallons of corrected water to flush. you may need to do this two to three times to get the soil re aligned.

The up curled leaves make me think phos. Flower nute anyhow.

Doesn't too much mag lock out phos? If you look at the pic below, it looks like potassium and phos.
Also how the buds aren't swelling out as much, makes me think flower nutes/phos.

Just my 2 cents.

Your ph is in check?

noticed this too, after i corrected my post, little caylxs

@FD. i've been phing my water for the last month but still using RO water. ph has been no lower then 6 and no higher then 7.

@Bailer - The buds keep growing. I'd say a half inch in the last day. I've also seen a guy here have a MI5 go for 100+ days. and his buds looked simular at this stage. but i do agree that it looks more like a potassium issue then a cal or mag issue. So what do i do for a K issue?

It's good to have a PK booster around with Mi5.

And a good thing to note for folks reading a thread like this is that phosphorus leaches out of soil super easy, but not in a hydro system. I know this is soil and it totally could be a P issue looking at it. I personally think that sounds like an awful lot of epsom salts to be adding to a gallon of water. I add 1/2 gram per gallon. The pH should be checked out from the runoff, too, not just what's going in.

lockout for me are quite rare i would check the root system or over watering and night time temps

@ jakel - I have EJ Meta-K which is 0-0-5 and the bloom is 0-3-1 but i haven't added any nutreints in about a month beause everytime i did it would get burned and the leafs would bear claw. so i stoped adding any.

@agito - ladies are in 5 gal bucket. i only water once a week or up to every 5 days. lowest temps are 67.

my brain just kicked in. this is what happend if it helps.

First as my palnts were going i over feed them so i did a flush for a good 3 weeks. then i thought hey. now the plants are bigger maybe they can handle a little bit of food. so i did a weak dose for the ladie and the next day she started showing the yellowing then browning.

OK guys i just went into the room and i'd say 10%-20% of the leafs are welted to basiclliy dead. what is my worst case senario? pre harvest?

are you running cal mag or something like that with your r/o water? i found out the hard way that r/o water has nothing in it so it helps to use a lil cal mag with all of your water unless flushing,filtered water alil different because calcium and magn. are left in the water with trace minerals. it might be too far along to recover but cal mag is very important if running r/o water. thisis just my
