Looks very healthy to me, except for the color is a bit on the dark side. I would cut back on the nutes. Looks like your plant is getting too much nitrogen. Remember, "Less is more" Good luck.

Looks like a ph. imbalance. This can cause a whole range of problems. How does the rest of your plant look?
 
Check out the album for pics..
So do you recommend that I flush them?
Any by cutting down on nute what exactly like feed less often and water more or what? Remeber my nutes solution isn't more than 1,000PPM and the run off is reading 500???

I would suggest that if it gets worse flush the plants and try a new strat. I don't know enough about your setup so suggest watering/nute schedules.
 
My medium is 3 parts perlite one part vermiculite. So today i flushed the plants tested the run off so that it test to pure water i mixed a fresh batch of Nutes at 1100 PPM and PH of about below 6.0 not exact reading using one of those cheap drop test kits then poured them in and tested the runoff and got pissed when it test below 600 PPM I give up i cant understand why this happens? The majority of my nutes are from advanced nutrients and have designed my program a bit diff starting with sundays not doing anything then feed one day water the next then feed followed by watering the next day and then feeding and feeding again sat then next week same program but a flush on sunday to start off the week I'm considering this to flush them twice a week. What are your thoughts and suggestions??

wow flush the ladys then dont give them shit till she dries out then start back with very low ppm. at feeding time, every other watering is a good cycle, works for me. and i water 2-3 days depending on what she telling me. your dirt needs to dry a bit before watering, so that the plant can get oxygen. i like 6.3 on my ph, its seems to work.

He is growing soiless. I am no expert but played around with this method. My best results came by cutting the ppms down to 400-600 depending on stage/strain/plants needs ect. Feeding mon-fri and flushing the medium on the weekends.

Looks like a copper or perhaps iron def from your pics would need to see good pics of new growth and leaf undersides to be sure

do any of your nutes have copper & iron?
 
Well right now I'm using Folitech Flower and Penetrator from advanced nutrients as it was recommended to me by a buddy at the hydro store he claims it creates more bud sites and enhances flowering also.

My advice would be to give it a feeding of DynaGro Bloom as DynaGro is the only nute I know of that has all 16 of the required essential nutes that plants need, in one feeding

Copper def shows as a greyish metalic looking shade on the leaves which is how your pics appear, DynaGro has copper :weed:

Why does everyone go to the PH issue / flush-em crutch at every turn? :lol: Looks like a simple micro nute deficiency. Happens quite often in soiless mediums. Add any fert with lots of micros (dynagro is a great choice). If the issue is really limited you might get away with correcting it with foliar feeding.
 
I wouldn't say its a huge problem being that its pretty spread out and not that much but it worried me i'm using micro from GH does that have the copper needed?

Have no idea what is actually in canabis specific nutes, why I don't use em

No one growing MJ sould be without DynaGro :weed: $12 for a 16 oz bottle available at most nurseries or check dynagro.com
