this was from bagseed. i water it every 4 days with distilled water. The nutrients i used for veg was peters 20-20-20. My nutrients i used for flowering were superbloom 12-55-6. I then read that this was to strong. I gave it 1/2 strength nutrients EVERY watering. I know realize this was probably stupid and it resulted in the clearly visable nute burn. About a week ago i flushed them and they looked better for a day or 2. Now the leaves comming out of the top of the cola on the very top are turning yellow. They also have brwon spots and they r curling. They r getting worse quickly and the only thing i can think of is maybe a deficiency? i thought this because it is getting progressivly worse and the last thing i did to the plants was flush... but then 3 days ago i gave it another small dose of 20-20-20 nutrients again in hopes of fixing the problem because it looked like a phosphorous deficiency to me. I also used a teaspoon of epson salt in case it was a magnesium defeciency cause i thought it looked like that 2. ANY idea?? It is slowly moving down the plant on the leaves.. yellowing and brown spots after that appearing on the top leaves. Here r some pics i hope they help you see... what should i do!!!!???? helppppp please

Also fyi it drops about 10 degrees every night in the dark period from 75 to 65. The leaves on 1 plant are quite droopy too and i think it has something to do with poor drainage so maybe it got a little to much water... but i cant see that causing this yelowing brown-spotted problem im having at the top of my plants... thanks again

what happened with this?

since you only have 2 weeks shouldn't it not be such an issue? Clip the fan leaves that aren't green anymore as they're not doing any good and won't heal anyways. As long as the buds aren't turning color from what I've read it's shouldn't be an issue. Unless you'll be regerenating the plant. I may be wrong

clip a whole bunch of fan leaves, that way the bud itself will get more light - thats what i do when theres about 2 weeks left so the buds get all the light. the nute burn is definately visible on the tips, but it should be okay as long as you flush it properly. i do see a few brown spots but that might be also nute burn, the yellowing is normal for flowering this late.

the yellowing is normal even in the little leaves comming out of the bud at the very top of the plant?

dont clip the fan leaves there there for a reason. that being to soak up the light to make your buds nice and fat.

if some of the fan leaves are dead, then why should he leave them on there? they aren't doing anything for it.

you mean those yellowing things? for photosynth to occur, pigments chlorophyll A and B must be present, which are green. if he clips about 50% of the fan leaves, mostly the yellowing ones, then the bud itself will get DIRECT light instead of having to get it from those nasty dying fan leaves which do nothing but block light for the bud. there was another thread on this, a few of us are doing tests - but for the last 1-2weeks, clipping your dying/huge fan leaves will give the BUD itself light so it puffs up even more. besides, he's got 3 ppl supporting the notion that dying/yellowing fan leaves should be cut - but all he needs is logic to tell him that.
