Sick plants

... looks a little cooked to me, but also kinda K defc.-like,... might be the dosage is too strong just now, of the primary nutes, not voodoo/B52,... yes, the nute solution is suppose to self buffer, but it's limited in capacity, and if you tap water is hard, it's getting overwhelmed and not working,.. once in the pot regardless, that buffering capacity is not enough at all for maintaining in-pot pH,... Ah--lights! Too close I believe, which will also magnify the problem! get us more normal light pics, whole plant too please,...

Don't be afraid to raise them up even alittle more, I run the same lights and start out at 30" and let the girl grow up to within 24" then keep her at that distance until the stretch is over, then lower to 18" and leave there until harvest. LED is pretty intense up close and actually needs a little distance to blend the colors all together as designed. I am pretty sure that these distances is what MarsHydro recommeds. @MarshydroTina can you comment?
Thank you for tagging me
 
Here are some better pics. Think different are first 2 followed by 2 shots of colorado cookies and then 2 of haze.
Thanks to all that are trying to help

Also got a pH tester but not calibrated. My options are limited so it is OK if just get some distilled water from local pharmacy and set meter to 7?
 
just did a feed with a 6.8 pH going in and a runoff of 6.3 shouldn't be locking out anything from the pH

They sell calibration packs and bottles the 7.0 ,4.0 and 10.0. The packs which are a waste are like 1.10 for each pack the bottled solution is more bang for the buck. I would stay with the proper way with the packs.
 
:toke: DH'-- are you using any Ca-Mg at all? I'm kicking myself for not asking before, and some digging around has shown me some pics of more atypical Mg defc. symptoms, which match pretty well with yours,... You really haven't feed that much, so nute burn seems less likely to me, and with that, other minor defc.'s may be acting up and muddying the Mg symptoms,... And with LED light, Mg and especially Ca demands are higher,.. feed at half str. na d for sure get Ca-Mg going ASAP,... if you have it a foliar spray would be the ticket; to make the most of this, you'll need a wetting agent so it coats and sticks far better... A very mild soap can be used in a pinch at this early stage, but the real stuff is best! (I like Coco-Wet best).... Spray tops and bottoms of leaves, keep out of direct light until dry,... it'll take a couple days for things to halt most likely,... pH looks good! :woohoo1: That's huge man, it clears any lockout issues from the cause list,...

On the pH meter calibration: RO/Di are not at all proper for this! In fact, they are acidic, due to the reaction of CO2 with water, forming carbonic acid.... 7.0 and 4.0 calibration solutions are what you'll need, plus the proper storage solution, there are no substitutes for these!... It's a pain I know, but pH meters are delicate instruments, easily losing calibration if not clean-rinsed with RO/Di water after each use, stored well, and not allowed to dry out,... If you stay with soil/soilless (Promix, coco, etc.) , I very highly recommend you score an Accurate 8 soil ph probe... this is for direct in-pot measurements, which can't be beat!-- no more f*cking around with the lousy run-off method- :nono:,... by monitoring your inputs for water and nutes making sure they're in proper pH range before they go in (I know what AN says, and I say "trust, but verify!"), and watching your in-pot pH, you can spot trouble well before shit happens,.. prevention is worlds better than cure!

Not using any Ca-Mg have to order online so be few days showing up but ordered.Is it ok to use epsom salts in my water in the meantime?read that somewhere. If not I'll hold off till proper Ca-Mg shows up. never fed foliage directly before so have learn more on that to attempt. hard to get things quickly in my location everything i need i have to order online
 
i have some 23watt CFLs should i run those and turn off the LED until i get some CaMg? will that slow the def effects @Waira?
