I had been giving it heavy doses of nutrients during veg and flower it was doing fine until I flushed it during week 2 of flower. My question to you is do I just give it water from here until harvest or do I give it just calmag water?

I had an issue that looked much worse mid flower. My plants finally said enough! I was feeding too heavily and my water was low in PH. I gave them a single good flush. Added recharge per the directions, checked water going in PH and adjusted as needed. The next 3 watering's were water and recharge only. Then I added 1/4 of the directed FoxFarm nutes. I feed 1/4 probably every other week until harvest. The plants pulled through and while the final harvest may have been stunted due to the stress the colors where out of this world compared to the same plant growing outside in a very peaceful environment.

In summary, less than what FF recommends, like much less. PH test your water with nutes, tigerbloom is acidic. Recharge was very healing to my plants.

ps. I don't know anything about distilled water.

i have great white the liquid mycorrhizae is that the same as recharge? Would it be good if i used that with my watering from here until harvest?I also was looking back at my feeding and I stopped using silica like 2 weeks before my plants got like this could that also have something to do with it?

12 and 18 inch, you are too close to the plant. Do you notice the highest leafes are burnt but not the ones lower?
Ik it's like almost a week later but why is like half up of the plant doing that but also not all of that section? I went back to my photos from before this happened and it had grown a good 10 inches since then and that's when this seemed to have started.

I had the same thing happen to a plant a month ago in flower, I use water from a koi tank on all my grows, only 1 plant was affected this way out of 12, my conculsion was too high of nitrogen, when I checked my koi tank it confirmed, same exact symtoms you are having, half the plant showed this while the lower leafs showed no burn, i clipped the top leafs to see if the sympoms would travel lower with same water schedule, they did. bring me to the question if at high nitrogen levels some strains burn leafs easier than other strains. my 2 cents
