I have 4 plants going and 1 has taken ill. I am trying to correcting by adding feed with more nitrogen, then I tried to flush it with PH'ed water. Nothing seems to be helping but it is so sticky and filled with trichombs. What is my next step?
Back right is the culprit.

What you growing in? What strain is she? Photos or autos? What feed? Why nitrogen in flower? We'll need this info to even try and help, some closer pics of just the one plant may help as well.

Most likely is the sick plant is the most resinous pheno also stress can make it produce more resin farmers in the mountains in alot of hash countries will tell you themselves for resin the higher up fields will produce more resin than the lower down fields thats due to cold stress etc thing is you only wanna stress plants so much and in the right ways

I'm growing in soil
The sick one is peanut butter breath
Grown from feminized seed
I've attached a pic of what i am using.20240419_095820.jpg
The cal-mag was used when the othes were sick.
I don't have my usual feed i ran out, fucked up and didn't buy more. I realise the blue stuff is mainly for vegging.
the plant is looking a little better today, maybe the water is working?

Sort of looks like a mag deficiency maybe with a touch of calcium or nitrogen excess? I'd try a Epsom salt foliar spray right at lights out for a little quicker turn around. Soil can take a little while straighten back out. Are you positive your pH pen is working? And what's the brand of soil? Different soils are very very different.

Thanks for the advice.

The soil looks like a good choice. I got a friend that uses pro mix exclusively and it's been working for him. Only one possible culprit left. The water supply. Are you using water from a well or city or filtered?

I thought it was a mag thing too. So I started to add cal-mag and 3 of the 4 plants healed up but this one just won't get right.

It looks like an imbalance between calcium and magnesium. Straight water in a peat mix isn't going to solve this if the water is the source of the extra calcium from bicarbonates is what I'm suspecting. And I could totally see this affecting a slower growing plant much more than a fast growing plant that could just use more calcium. Try the foliar Epsom salt spray. Magnesium and calcium are taken in through the same path so too much of one will lock out the other. That's why they are bottled together so the average guy can't mess it up. Usually it's always good until you run into a finicky plant.

It wants more PK … what you are feeding is not enough. Forget that bud candy also.

Get a Bloom Specific feed. The “ burnt “ tips mimic nute burn but is indicative of K deficiency ( potassium ) - your over use of cal mag ( calcium specifically) can and will antagonize other elements the plant is trying to get.

I would listen to this guy's advice, he knows what's up when it comes to growing Cannabis.

Even if you course correct with a solid bloom nute - those leaves will not recover. After you get it on track , you can clip those really bad ones off so it isnt wasting energy on trying to repair them.
