Please Help, it hurts everytime i look at her
In my personal opinion it's in growth shock, This can happen when theres a change in ph/soil/ferts/etc... It's a natural weed man, it'll come back, don't stress it, just don't add more chemicals trying to fix it, that's probably the worse thing you can do.
10 days is plenty time to come back from a transplant shock though.... Am I understanding right that you are using tap water? I also use tap, ran into some probs, so now I leave my water sit out, uncovered for 24 hrs to let the chlorine and whatnot evaporate...no probs since
Looks like several signs of magnesium deficiency - yellowing/browning/necrosis of the leaf tissue, leaf fingers drooping, taco curling on the upper leaves, all signs of mag def. Normally there is more yellowing, but your other plants are clawed a bit so that usually points to heavy feeding. The abundance of N can explain the lack of yellowing. Judging form the heavy feeding signs and the list of nutes & additives you are using, I'm thinking you have salt buildup, I'd bet some rep on it LOL That would lock out the magnesium and cause the deficiency (or appearance of it). I would say to flush well with some distilled water and let them dry a bit and see if the droopiness picks up. Give them water for a week or two and hold off on the nutes for a bit. Let the plant get a little hungry and ask for food. I would try this before adding CalMag - though I'm a firm believer in using that during flowering. The damage will not repair, I normally cut that stuff off (those leaves will eventually brown and die anyways) so I can see if the problem is still spreading. It's a lot easier to spot when there's no leaves with the damage on the plant. Some people will scream never to cut a leaf (I subscribe to that theory) but it's fine in this case and you have plenty of others Hope this helps!
Cutting a single leaf off=2 leafs that grow back in that spot, so in the end, you'll get a very nice plant if you balance raping them. If you pull off to much leafs the plant will die, leafs are what exorbe the energy from the sun.
so I went ahead and did the flush, gave her straight water when she needed it, lastnite did a pure water prewater then gave her 1/2 strength cha ching and GF bloom stimulator, and fossil fuel, she's still turning yellow but the person I split the pack with says one of his is doing the same thing, must be just very unstable genetics; start a 10 pack and all plants are different except for their large stature. Hats of to arjan on this f-ed up strain, no wondeer he's never entered it in the cannabis cup
