What's wrong here?

[Rev. Green Genes]

An update on my sick Mexican Airlines plant...Did a light flush with 3 gallons of water, been about a week and she is still hanging in there. Branches are not hard like the other plants, soft and bendable. As you can see, still dealing with turned down tips, but now on fan leaves too....a couple tips and turned upwards...finally got a pH meter after the light flush, tap water tested at 7.17 pH.....I wish I had the meter when I watered, but I didn't, thus the light flush. My other plants are thriving under the same conditions still. I know according to the advice given here I was supposed to flush with 15 gallons of water....it just seems like so much, I guess that might be my next step...I will have to go down and buy 3 5 gal buckets to let my water sit overnight to acclimate to the temp inside and to let chlorine dissipate....then I guess I will try the massive flush this weekend....am I on the right track?View attachment 716539

Sounds perfect to me, nice plant.

The tips will never turn back up. You know you fixed the problem if no new tips turn down. Same thing with spots, they don't go away on old leaves.

Blaz-- the N-tox symptoms won't correct, they have grown out that way now, but if little to no further progression has occurred, you're on the right track! I'm not surprised a bit more clawing happened, with the partial flush,... I'd say skip any further flushing for now, and switch to bloom nutes; I see the up turned tips, get me a closer pic mate, not sure what that is,... the softness of the plant is a N-tox thing,... I highly recommend using a Si supplement, full time! Si is great stuff, very beneficial to the plant!

I gave her a 1/4 dose of organic bloom fert and she is responding...I can tell a difference in the rate of growth of her flowers after watching a few days...a raggity plant, but due to copious bud sites I am guessing I can still get a couple ounces off of her hopefully
