I only read the first post so forgive me if I'm saying something that was already said. That IS ABSOLUTELY heat stress. Get those temps under control and they will perk back up. I just dealt with the same issues myself. 90 degrees is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE without Co2. You have two options:

A: Add Co2 and those temps would be ideal

or

B: Get your ventilation beefed up to drop those temps down to around 70-75.

Good luck brother! Keep up the good work!

Well after adding a fan the highest temps i recorded were around 83. so would it still be heat stress then?
83 is still pretty hot bro.. u need to get under that 80 degree line...

i would only use that cal mag once a month or so... to much of these things can lock up the nitrogen in your soil... also your plant needs small amounts of nitrogen during the flower stage or it will yellow out so if you arnt feeding it any it may be using up the remaining N in the soil. you do however want to discontinue the use of N towards the end of your flowering cycle so your plant can use the remaining N built up in your soil until its practically gone, this will yellow the leaves of the plant but help your buds achieve a better flavor :)

so are you still using just the bud candy? and also are you correcting the ph of your water? if not that would cause certain nutrients to not be available for uptake to the plant

Yeah the only nutes ive used so far for flowering is bud candy. And as for the ph in water im not sure i didnt have problem with it throughout vegg. but i use filtered mineral water/ the filter takes out everything shouldnt be there and adds natural minerals. Starting this upcoming monday will be week 5 of flowering the buds looking good just some bigger fan leaves yellowing then dying off. but its mostly on the one plant and not the other and they sit side by side same temps. and all.
