Do I need to flush or just ph higher next fee feeds come on guys @St. Tom @Trichome farmer

How many plants have the issue? Are the pics of the discolored leaves from the same plant? How do the lower leaves look on the plant with leaf discoloration? Are you using ro water? Do you have a ppm meter?

Run off ph can be super sketchy, but 4.8 sounds low even considering the error margin for run off on.

I see a combination of possible issues, but not sure if they are on the same plant or not.. The leaves that are curling downward, but have the saw blade like edges pointing upward, look to be having light stress.. The discolored circle spots on the leaves, look to be calcium def. And the bigger stripe looking discoloration spots look to be boron def.

Feels like a nutrient lock out.. Ppms of run off will give you a solid indication.

You can always do a slow, flush with tap or ro water ph'd to 6.0. until the run off is back in range. Then a day or two later start back feeding at 50% strength or a normal ppm level.

I'm not the best guy to answer about such issues still learning myself proh is da man also the infirmary section might be worth making a post in

The rust spots are on the same plant , their is no sign of discoloration on the plant with saw like edges . But run off is the same on both . I agree probably light stress will this affect it too bad as I can really move my light any higher . I will do the run off thing later with ph water at 6 I am using Tao water phed I dont have a ppm meter sorry thanks for advice

@Proph yeh it's only a couple leaves on the main cola that have the rust spots atm

@Proph hey do I need to flush with plain water or add calmag ? Also when u say slow do you mean pour it in slowly to like 40% run off or keep pouring until ph reaches 5.8

Just saw your last post... Ok, so.. If you are using tap water, then you should not need cal/mag at all (which could be the issue). Tap water naturally has more than enough calcium and magnesium in it.. So there is no need to add more. That may be what caused a lock out in that one pot. When you flush, use plain ph'd tap water. Ph it to 6. Slowly water the pot until you get a good amount of run off.. Dont test the first run off.. Wait 30 mins. Water the pot again until run off, and check the ph of the water from the 2nd run off. Keep flushing with the 6.0 ph'd water until your ph reading is in range. Give it 2 days or so to recover, then start back your regular feeding, minus the Cal mag.

@Proph iv been doing it for the last hour iv got run off too 5.8 put it back in now , 50-60% pistols r brown now and the buds r no where near finished , hopefully she go back too fattening and just was ripening because of lock out . ? The other is doing fine but ph run off low , I didn't want the same to happen so started a flush I'm just warming up some water to continue . It's up at 5.2 already ? Is this ok

Ok cool. 5.2 is still to low for coco though. Get it up to at least 5.8. Here is a good chart to reference..
