dude, love your journal....Loads of pics and info....Brilliant!.....Imho tho dude, I would have cut loads of those btm yellowing leaves....They are dying bcoz the light is not reaching them....They are of no more use to the plant so it is killing them off.....Keep up the good work bro...
Thanks friend! I am clipping them day by day. Just a couple at a time so I don't get too enthusiastic. Slow easy steps.
Yep, I posted in the infirmary and he already nailed it as excess potassium:
Excess potassium can lock out nitrogen, calcium AND magnesium.. Your plant is showing signs of all three being possibly locked out.. On top of the normal signs of potassium toxicity.
Just hoping that lower ppm veg/grow nutes and water will bring it back in balance and start looking healthy again. Just a waiting game now. I didn't push it past recoverable but I don't think so. Just a little light on color at the moment.
Yes it has been a bit floppy. It's a 3 gallon fabric pot on a riser. I give at most 1.2L but only if the pot feels light and the top couple inches are dry. That usually gets a small trickle from the bottom. I have been going with the feed, water, water. Definitely not feed every time.
A couple days this week I gave 500ml twice as it was light and dry. Not planning to water today or tomorrow but I will check on it in the evenings. Might need to bring the rh down a couple points and see if that helps.
EDIT: it's just the one plant/pot in there. Environment is usually 75f and 70rh

...dude, a little tip if I may that helps me....stand over your plant and take a bird's eye look and pic...every leaf you see on the canopy is working like a solar panel, the green leaves just below getting 50%-ish light are storage and solar(imo the plant over stores..I would)and the lower lighter and yellow leaves are not needed now the canopy is way above, so the plant takes their stored nutes and drops them, to compost the soil below for any seeds that might fall....but we provide everything the plant wants, so I clip them
obv dude, I don't mean to tell you what to do....just how I see things is all....Edit:...I really hope that this doesn't come across preachy dude haha, I didn't mean it that way....:smiley1:

Cool that he already gave you an answer. Are you in soil or coco? Because if in coco you can flush the excess out. Apparently in soil that's not so easy although if you are feeding water soluble nutrients my common sense tells me they should also be flushable if you get my drift. But don't listen to me, @Proph has way more knowledge about the subject then us two combined
I wish you all the luck in the world and hope the nute lock will soon be over. If you are in soil you can always switch sides and go the coco route next grow .
Thanks guys! I appreciate all the help, suggestions, and different perspectives. It's only my second grow ever so mistakes and issues are bound to happen. I'm still just having fun growing.
I am in soil, biobizz lightmix. Take a bit longer to straighten out than coco.

Is the 1.2 liters every day? I think the pots are drying faster than you may expect. I'm assuming the 1.2 liters is based off of the 10% rule... The 10% rule is applied daily.. I don't let my soil pots dry out at all. Soil should always be moist. If/when you're using fabric pots they can, and often do, dry from the bottom up. Or from the middle up or down.. All depending on the air flow and fan location. If you're waiting 2-3 days between the 1.2 liter waterings, that too long. It's really hard to over water in a fabric pot because of how fast they dry.. I'd give one of those plants a good watering with plain water and see if it responds. Like a half gallon through the 3 gallon pot
