Thank you, I really appreciate this and it helped me feel encouraged! The only odd thing is that in the previous grow where this same problem happened, I'd been feeding regularly from about 3 weeks into veg, and the problem was actually worse than this time.

Just resurrecting my own thread because I have another grow on the go and the same thing appears to be happening as above with the leaves. This time it's a different strain (AK420 instead of Mexican sativa) and at exactly the same point in flowering I'm seeing the same symptoms of dying leaves...

I have concluded that a 22 L fabric pot in a 60 X 60 X 120 cm tent creates way too high a humidity level. It was up to nearly 70% at times. I even wonder if the leaf symptoms I had might've been related to this, perhaps even root rot (haven't examined them yet). I'm pleased to say though that...

Well...sadly, I'm embarrassed to say that this grow has now gone totally wrong. Humidity has been too high (I think partly because of using a large fabric pot in such a small space) and with the (quite healthy) buds with about two weeks to go, I'm now getting bud rot on the four main colas. I've...

Thanks Buds Buddy. 7.9 did seem high to me and I wonder why it is as our water is also described as 'moderately soft'...although I know that hardness and pH don't necessarily correlate. Definitely going to buy a pH test kit or meter and already have some citric acid for home-brewing and will...

While I bow to your superior knowledge, the only thing that makes me wonder about whether it is Mg deficiency is I'm not seeing yellowing between leaf veins anywhere whatsoever which I thought was the initial signature of a Mg shortage? There are some yellow spots which then turn dead/brown but...

The pH of my tap water is 7.9 according to my water company (I don't have a meter...yet). Seeing as flowering is quite advanced now and the buds are looking pretty alright (see below...apologies for the dark bars, they're aliasing between the light flicker and my camera) I think I'll just go on...

So here are two images of some of the lower, less damaged leaves. In fact the upper sun leaves are the worst affected, followed by these lower sun leaves, with the smaller bracts and new growth looking unaffected. I know what you mean about looking a bit pale green generally but I think this is...

Thanks FelipeBlu. I wouldn't expect such a serious deficiency to arise with the levels I've been feeding at (and the soil, although the Light•mix rather than the All•mix, was fresh) so am wondering if the deficiency is caused by overfeeding and lock-out. I've been giving 2 mL/L of Fish•mix...

Well...someone's really not happy. Here are some pics of what she looks like today, three days after I flushed with plain water and removed the most damaged leaves. To me it looks like it's basically dying, with most of the leaves (mainly the upper ones) going completely crisp and curling up...
