I dont have that much experienc with flowering leaf issues. But you said yourself that this began when you changed the light so that tells you that either its too hot/not ventilated or circulating well or that you need more water...but it could also be some deficiency...

It's a nutrient issue, as in the plants are not getting enough. This is either down to not giving them enough nutes or pH problems.

In this case i think you just need to give your plants more nutes.

The half way point of flower is when your plants need the most nutes...

well i have all kinds of organic foods and ferts....what should i do so i dont burn it or cause a lock out for seomthing else...i ghavent payed attention to the ph but have been looking out for sighting problems threw the leaves...i have low number bloom food, bloom stimulant..this organic microorganism meal call "mother earts liquid compost" mollasses... im just trying to think what it is.....this should be an interesting discussion

This is why you have a pH tester...

I can't work out how much of a drop in pH there will be when you add nutes. You'll need to buy a pH tester.

Also, if you want to be as accurate as i am when feeding nutes, you're going to need an ec/ppm meter.

I cannot advise on correct levels of nutes unless you have an ec meter.

Your plants are clearly lacking in the basic nutes, which are NPK. If you don't have any meters then you're going to need to use your own judgement.

well here is the thing i bought one of those 3-1 light,moister, and acidalkiline meter and i think its alittle off it says i have around a ph of 8 but i cant be because i put it in a decomposing dirt,bat guano, egg shells, coffee grind, tea leaves, ground up banana peels,mollasses..... thinking it would be acidic and it came out 8 too..... why is it saying 8 if ive been using organic foods i would of been thinking it would be more acidic...ill go buy a siol test today to get soemthing more accurate...let me know thank you

a ph of 8 is way too high, you want to shoot for like 6.5, may be causing some lockout problems... now back to your other prob.

how could it be 8 if everything i've been using is more on the acidic side? and no i didnt use them at the same time used veg for veg and bloom for bloom....but i dont really feed them too much.

just going by what you told us above; i say to do a good ph test on your soil, if you still get the same results (ph of 8 or so), then i would look into something to lower the ph.

got it tested...it first red 7.8 or something. then it went down to 6.8 i belive...so im going to load her up on nutes after she is done being dry i'll lightly feed her with binicare bloomfood maybe a foliar feed? i hope she isnt sickly looking i hope to get her back under the hps in the morning misting away not to over do it but so she can lightly get some nutes threw her leaves. could this be the answer?

so i just mixed alittle food up and fed it to her...ill just have to wait and see...and im organic so i believe its hard to measure acidity because of it not having salt buildup in it or something. and i noticed that her uper leaves the full leaves that come out of her top cola at the top bud...the veins are like red but still light green....lacking something?

now i'm no expert, everything i know i came from here! i got a dwc thing goin, and my ph got up to about 8 for a day or to and it was no good. my leaves turned yellow, some dried up and fell of complely. i put in regular tapwater (ph of about 6-6.5) and my problems cured right up! don't know if it helps, hope it does. just try to keep the ph in th 6-6.5 area. a ph tester from like petsmart is like $4

and whatever you do dont use those 3 in 1 tests mate, havent been growing weed that long but i do have a history in horticulture and they can only be used when uve used something else to compare it to(somthing accurate) and then calabrate it in your head, they are very inaccurate
