Damn. So you can really spend some time diagnosing an issue? What would draw one to the soil ph prior to checking all the other deficiencies?
I was looking for a reason for his issue. He pointed out having a runoff of 5.5ph which I know is too low so I checked the nutrient availability chart and found K to be unavailable along with Mg and I went to check what symptoms they would show if def, and they matched

The N tox, coupled with the K and Mg def. You have to diagnose separately.

The N tox you can see in the dark green top leaves, yet the bottoms and middle are fading.

The K tox you can see in the lightening of the outer leaf with dark veins and tip and edge burn, as well as the tacoing, though that could be the N too.

The Mg you can see in the interveinal chlorosis as well as the turned up tips.

The buds are maturing way too early, yet they're stunted.

Combine all that with the amount of damage done, which is very little compared to a true def, and it comes to what looks like a lockout... just like most of you noticed.

However, that lockout is from a low ph which is blocking K and Mg. The reason you know it's ph and not a salt buildup lockout, is that N tox. If it were salt buildup, it would just burn, no healthy leaves with curled tips.

Happy 4th of July you schmucks!!
Happy 4th buddy!

That little one still looks ok. Hopefully it shits a tap soon.
I hope so too. I checked on her this morning and she actually lifted off the rockwool an 1/8th of an inch or so... maybe she'll come back. I also tucked the rockwool around her trunk as tight as i could - to grow into roots maybe? :(

that really is some budporn... the first girl your eye keeps moving down the cola and it doesn't stop! it angles left and keeps going haha. makes me want to get my nice camera out.... but my colas are starting to look deep fried :(
