Thanks a lot for the reply everyone. Seamaiden, I was using the bayer 3 in 1 as an all around plant health before flower type of deal. I got tired of nuking with merit 75 when I didn't have pests and more wanted a light systemic as a preventative.
I've been babying the hell out of them, and I believe what happened was an extreme nute uptake/toxicity which could have lead to burn. I've been foliar feeding and today, I remembered I had the DM Saturator product. I used that and 2ml of True Blooms from Beneficial Biologics and I immediately noticed reduction in interveinal chlorosis and overall reduction in dark green and increase in green where there was slight yellowing on the veins. I also flushed with PGP Bloom and molasses, at a low dosage. It looks like the stress may cause *some* problems, but a few more foliar feeds and I should be okay. What I am truly surprised by is how effective Saturator is compared to Cocowet and dish soap. Whatever is the surfactant in that product, it works incredibly well.
Still really bummed that this preventative measure is going to cost me yield. Argh, my new room just keeps having problems.
I get what you're trying to do, but you do realize that you're selecting out hard for resistance when you continually use something like imidacloprid, right? Just trying to give all a heads up on that issue, as it's well known across many species of pests.Thanks a lot for the reply everyone.

Can you share your N Toxicity fix please. I've had it before and could only control it by flushing.It is possible to quickly halt nitrogen toxicity, if the toxicity is from excess in the soil. But since you foliar sprayed I am not sure if it would work in your case....
I have been a big fan of using a high microbial content compost/fertilizer tea with yucca and a well digested form of bone like what is found in the nectar products.This is medical grade cannabis we are talking about right? Don't over think it. I don't medicate with others cannabis...most are unaware of what they are actually medicating/smoking from all the pesticides and synthetic nutz made from money hungry companies who could care less if you end up sick from smoking poison...Stay positive but informed! Peace:fire:
Great info @Blaze This method most definitely works. And like you said the science stands up to the theory.It can be done using a process called 'nitrate-dependent alleviation of ammonium toxicity.' Top dress with 1/2 tablespoon per gallon of media with gypsum (I do 1 cup per 30 gallons) and water in thoroughly. Gypsum facilitates the leaching of ammonium by binding the ammonium to the sulfate in the gypsum, making it highly soluble, and able to flush out of the media more easily. Follow up within 24 hours (2 hours is is supposedly ideal) with a 50 PPM per gallon (1 gram per gallon) solution of Calcium Nitrate. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to apply nitrogen to correct nitrogen burn but the science behind it is sound. The nitrate nitrogen replaces the excess ammonium nitrogen at the cation exchange sites in the soil, alleviating symptoms.

Nitrogen toxicity sucks. Since you are in flower your N should be reduced drastically. Really the only next thing you can do is flush the plants with plain water and hope they recoup in the next week or two.
