I hate when people say THIS is your problem. So ill give my opinion. I recently ( last week) had the same issue, and couldnt figure it out. I religiously check my ph but once its set and i will not touch it til feed, i didnt check it.. But i use airstones..... It woukd raise my ph over noght or even a couple hours to 7.7!!! Long story short i was obviously nute locked.. I gave then 2 flushes and in a week they look awesome again. If you look at your branches, notoce how they look skinny and not much growth? If i had to guess id say flush them, and look at them in 24 hours and say WHOOOAAAA
Can you tell me how to flush to correct issues during a grow? Never done it before.

Everyone has their own way and the internet has even more ways lol. But the way i do it is i just ph my water, and feed each of them about the same amount as normal with just a little extra. Do that today and then do it again day after tomorrow. That should be good.
Thanks man. My last water was the day before yesterday. Soil is pretty saturated. Should I try and wait or do it ASAP

I flush with just water and cyco kleanse. Did that for 5 days and went half strength. Will run another flush in a couple days for another 3-5 days and stick at half strength for one more week

Took a couple pics when lights out to show you colour a little better not the greatest pics, first two are boss Hogg, other two chem 91, could only get closest plants to door:) day 25 since flip
Are you still concerned about it being too crowded? I have 9 plants in a 5x5 so I was too. I just made sure air flow was good above and below the canopy, managed RH, and I defoliated pretty regularly up until right about where you’re at. Your plants look good and healthy so I’d suggest some defoliation to keep air flow up, prevent mold, and help the light penetrate the canopy for bud development further down the stems. My $.02

Your ladies look good man!

Nice... my temp seems to be right above where I need it between 80 and 86. My rh is at 50 to 65. I am the nervous about the boss hogg since it's more susceptible to herming.

I'm back... 91 chem is still showing spots while none of my others are... posting more pics before I flush again. I was reading in another thread that chem is sensitive to calmag deficiencies but I don't want to contribute to a lockout if that's what is going on. Thoughts on whether its lockout or nute burn?

To me that looks like nute lock still. is the new growth getting spots or are those old leaves?? they look healthy and don't look nute locked like they were.. I think you should just continue feeding them like normal if the spots are on the old leaves.. if they are on the new growth then I would just flush them again and you should be fine. but like I said they look way better

the more I look the more I think it is CALMAG Def. cuz you already flushed and they look better than before, and the most logical possibility would be that..
