That is a problem arising from PH out of whack in your medium(which in turn locks out certain elements in your ferts), that can not be available to plants. My guess is that if you check the runoff from your medium it will be too acid acidic.Alot of my customers do not understand that just because your applying proper PH adjusted water/nutes does not mean jack about whats happening in the grow medium whether it be soil or rockwool.You must always check your runoff from your pots and if using rockwool I suggest using a 140 cc syringe and drawing some of your liquid from the rootzone of your rockwool often.I have heard guys say to me "oh no, my PH is perfect when I feed and perfect in my res so, you must be wrong".Well, let me tell you that 9 times out of ten when I finally convince them to check the grow medium they are amazed at how different the readings were in the root zone of the mediums!!Hydroton and perlite are different because they dont hold on to nutrients like soil and rockwool do.I would also suggest to use fine dolomite lime to your soil mixtures in future as this will help stabilize your soil as well as add some extra calcium.Using magnesium sulphate (epsom salts)during your whole veg/bloom cycle will provide you with extra magnesium and in flower will promote more resin production.By the way,by looking at your pics you are close to harvesting anyways, (and i suggest you do soon as it is very hard to get those little f**king yellowing dry dead leaves out from tight sticky buds).I would just be doing your straight flush at your point of the game and harvest as quickly as possible.Hope some of this helps and I would like to know if you check the runoff now,what your ph reads and your ppm's. goodluck,cheers,Casper13
