Medium is soil , tested pH today with strips(I only have strips) it looks like 6 or a little lower , I'm fertilizing with 600-700 ppm , temperature is 29°CNeed info on Medium, pH & ppm
Yes I let the dirt dry between waters, I'm providing strong airflow with a 14 inch fan all the time, Will try to cut all the yellow leaves today.Get rid of all those dead leaves. Not doing anything for your plants at this point and certainly cutting down on the airflow. Are you letting your dirt dry out between waters?
It was thicker when it was in veg and everything was perfect , I'm providing strong airflow with 14 inch fan , its a single plant in the room airflow is quiet good I thinkYea it does look real thick probably not getting enough airflow.
I've had nutrient burn before, it looked different , it starts at the outside tips of the leaves , what I'm having here is different , I will try to increase the pH a little if it's possible as we are locked in the house due to flu and I don't know how to increase it or if I have something at home to do that.Your pH should be at least 6.5, 6.0 is too low for soil. So that may be it.
To me it looks like nutrient burn. How often are you feeding your plant? What nutrients are you using? What is the pH of the nutrients you are applying?
It could also be a potassium lock-out, which may actually be caused by high levels of nitrogen. So adding more nitrogen could be simply exacerbating the issue rather than correcting it.
Do you think I need to flush first?If you have more of that soil top dress with it and water it in, if you have no lime available to top dress with.
It's ph problems, your soil ran out of buffering capacity.

Thanks for the info
My soil is a mixture of homemade compost, peat moss and garden soil , I had higher pH 2 months ago , do you think I should flush with tap water cause our tap water pH is 8 or more and has around 500 tds?What's your ph from the faucet?
Most "soil" is peat based and peat has a ph around 4-4.5 so they naturally drift down over time, if you're watering to run off when you water chances are it's not nute overload causing the ph issue but just the natural drift of peat.
I don't have lime unfortunately , my tap water pH is 8 or a little more with high tds around 500 , do you think I should flush with it to get pH back to its normal level?If you have it, Dolomite Lime will work.
Sprinkle a bit of dolomite lime on top of your soil. As you water, it will leach into the soil. You can also use it directly in your water but I don't remember how much per gallon off the top of my head. (Night time in the grow area, bag of lime is in there)
As for soil pH. My target is always 6.5 and I use dolomite lime to reach that. I do this every time I prepare my soil mix.

might be mag deficiency looking into it, it started in the middle and works out which would be consistent with your description
epson salt, mollasses are options, not sure what else would potentially already be in the house that would work
