Nothing for a bit
So I am growing a Skywalker kush photo. I am growing in 30 L coco perlite mix . under a 350 watt led using advanced nutrients sensi coco grow a+b and some vodoo juice every now and then. I have had a P deff that I was able to at least stop from eating leaves at one point. and what I believe was a Iron deff that was resolved at one point. I'm not really sure whats going on now it seems to be only effecting the top part of the plant. It yellows at the tips almost like a mag deff but can have random chunks of yellow on the leaves. I also am getting rams horn style claw as if I over watered. I was originally only getting the claw thing when I would let it dry to a certain point well now I am watering every day and that was keeping it away but now it just stays sooooooo not really sure what thats about. Thanx for any help people can give :) oh my stems petioles and veins are all purple as hell but Im pretty sure thats the P deff Im fighting . also some of the yellow chunks are now forming what looks like brown or black marks. Possibley necrosis. Pics dosnt show anything very well camera sux.

Oh I forgot to mention the leaves that are "clawing" sometimes its only one finger on the leaf and is always eventually accompanied by the yellowing followed by the browning smear looking deally

They don't look too bad so I wouldn't go crazy changing stuff around.

Leaf curl is usually over watering. You said it happened before watering every day - how often were you watering? Every day may be too much. Could also be heat stress, lights too close.

Yellowing on newer growth is usually a cal/mag issue. Doesn't look awful though.

Edit: love the oily funky sky walker kush btw. So good. Seed or cut?

I was watering every 4 days but then I started to get the curl and I was like ummmmm so I let it dry more assuming I was over watering witch made it worse. so I started watering every three days and all was fine Even the leaves that were curled uncurled but as the plant grew and it ate more water I had to reduce my dry time by a day as this continued I am now watering every day. That all being said even waiting 4 days it was never very dry. I would lift it to feel the weight and it had only maybe lost 20 to 30 % water weight tops. its eating around 2.5 L a day now and drops about the same weight as before when watering every 4 days. Thanx for the quick response :) Do you know if say I had allot of K and as the coco dried the ec went up could the K cause issues like this? or a high ec in general caused by drying? Im sorta grasping at straws I have had the issue for awhile and thought I had corrected it a few times but it seems I merely masked it or delayed it slightly. The problem has escalated the last week where I am seeing more leaves yellowing more quickly and with the added symptoms of I think it looks like brown smears in the center of the yellowing leaves. or possibly a root issue. they seem to be healthy and shooting out the bottom of the fabric pot nicely I'm pretty confused lol Cal/mag eh. Well I might try a foilar feed of cal/mag/Iron see if that helps what going on. I started from seed and I know the smell is awesome :) I have always had issues with no smell growing in coco. So I went online and went searching and found a guy that had the same prob except with the Skywalker Kush I was sold lol I was surprised how strong the smell is.

Let that soil get nice and dry then give a watering. It's looking good. I have a skywalker Kush in Veg as well that I'm taking clones off of. Is this by Reserva Privada? Looking forward to seeing it flower.

I'm growing in coco and drying seems to make the problem worse or has up until now. Thanx man it is the Reserva Privada :) Im also excited to see it flower and smell it lol How old is yours? Have you noticed it needing any special attention at all?
 
So I for sure have a Ca deficiency ( Thanxs @Thefarmer1 ) and what I think is a root problem yet to be figured out. I am unsure of what to do about the Ca deff. I have two kinds of cal mag. I have Cal Mag + and Calimagic both by GH. Calimagic has nitrogen and I ALWAYS have issues with nitrogen abundance so I am wary of using it. But last time I used the Cal Mag + it screwed my P absorption by ether to much carbonate as both the Ca and Mg are carbonates or it was to much Ca and it combined with the P to form Calcium phosphate witch is high insoluble. I also have read that Ca carbonate in general is highly insoluble does anyone know if the Ca carbonate in GH calcium products is some how altered to become more soluble for this application or is it just sort of a crap shoot and hope for the best? The Ca deff has been getting worse quick allot more yellowing a browning smudges and spots. I have neglected to change anything to much other then up my base nutes as I am trying to avoid causing a new problem for every one I solve lol :p Thanx for help peoples :)

Oh I forgot to mention I was watering with tap water and using the calmag + when it screwed with the P. I am now watering with distilled so if that would make a difference and i could use the calmag + again with out the issues please let me know :P
 
Growing some Lemon Walker in Coco here they can drink ferts like a Russian Vodka when its free. Defo one of the most stable Kushes(even in crosses) that i know. Wouldnt worry about such lil props on her. Sometimes people overcare Plants to much. The less you care bout certain factors that worry you the better results you get. Sometimes correcting too much fucks up your whole run.
 
btw if youre worried bout the chemical/idustrial calmags why not get yourself some dolomite lime and do it the organic way??? surely this wot fuck up any other levels as its not so concentrated like coming out of the bottle.
