Its been a crazy heavy week. Unfortunately filled with casualties. In an unrelated to cannabis issue, I lost 2 strains of psilocybin cubensis to contamination. A mouse chewed a hole in my brown rye packs that were colonizing. Then I had to kill 1 of my 2 outdoor plants. Turned out she was he... then im very sad to report that Strawberry Caugh is no longer with us either.
So all that a side, what you are seing here is my Pineapple Chunk by Barneys Farm. She is showing some kind of(what I believe is a nitrogen def.) But ive not seen it in this form. It started out on older growth in the middle of the plant and is now showing in several spots. Any help on the topic is greatly appreciated and needed. Hope everyone is having a better week than I. Love and light to u all. NAMASTE.

Im posting this here first. I am having a crazy issue with my Pineapple Chunk. If any of u more experienced guys or gals can help.... there are no words to express my gratitude. It began 3-4 weeks ago on one leaf close to the intake fan and co2 dispenser. I thought it was from temperature fluctuating. Or even perhaps from a water drop being spilled, Then as the leaf grew, the deformity grew.
I began to notice it in other places about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Thinking it was a nitrogen def of some kind I treated it accordingly.
However it did not seem to clear up. Then I noticed anotjer peculiar anomaly, the leaf tips in affected areas begain to bend in an arch. Always bending into the affected 5. This lead me to believe it may be nitrogen toxicity. So I am now treating it accordingly. I flushed the soil with p.h.ed water and will try a light feeding.
Please if any one can help please do. Thank u. Namaste

I just wanted to let you know that I think your on the right track. I don't want to give any advice when you seem to be doing well. The plants look so healthy other than that small issue. I would have done the same as you: flush....and think happy thoughts. A simple worm casting tea would be a good light feed without any worry of burning:)
 
Make sure you aerate your tea for a minimum of 24 hrs and add some un-sulphered black strap molasses. 1 tablespoon per gallon.It helps to mix the molasses with some warm water first then add it to your tea bucket. It helps to dissolve the molasses better than cold water. The critters in the tea and your soil will love the brix from the molasses.

I personally don't think you have a N deficiency tho........ Just my opinion......... N is a mobile element and it typically will start to show at the bottom of the plant and then work its way up to the top. What I am seeing based on your pics is the newer tops and growth are showing a little discoloration. I have seen my plants do this before and have never been able to figure it out. Needless to say they went on to produce some great bud in spite of it. Hope this helps.

Peace

looking great. only thing i suggest is dont stop using N most bloom nutes dont have enough. if you keep the leaves green till the end you will have the best at harvest.

Thanks everyone. I never got the issue resolved. After many hours, days , and conversations with others no conclusion could be reached. The most controversial diagnosis was tobacco mosaic virus. There is plenty of photographic evidence to support this, there is very little iv any confirmed cases of t.m.v. in cannabis. Next is poor drainage resulting in stunted/twisted growth and a peculiar yellowing. Lastly is just a bad seed. Its growing through it with a great aroma and very frosted nugs. Makes me wonder how bad ass a good seed would have been. Anyway, 2 -3 weeks from harvest she is on a p.h balance water diet. Here are some pics. Again i cannot thank u all enough.
