So I'm in week 5 flower. Started at week 4 and is getting bad. Starting at bottom leaves are falling off or I can pluck them very easy. After a few days they start turning a little yellow and falling off. Now. Little yellow. Spotting and curling up. Like rot. Run off smells fine.
So I feed half strength every time. Ph 6.2-6.4. Some times with run off. Run off now is 6.0 and 2100ppm. Which I didn't think was to bad for full flower. 5 gal smart pots there 3 1/2 feet tall indoors. Ff nutes ff soil. I have good air and temps. RH bout 35. 1000w bulb. The mess up leaves ITS ALMOST TO TOP OF PLANT now. Tops do look fine though. Maybe not as plump as should be. 5c5 tent. 3 big air holes on bottom with screens. 6 inch exahest 385 cfm going to light and filter. Pulling the air. Fans on top of plant and couple smells on bottom that I turn off at nights. I used open desert once and big bloom once. And molasses once. Not all together. Cal mag in veg. Couple times in flower.

Actually can't see any pic man, would like to help anyway, and well with a run-off of 2100ppm (in either scale), a 1000w close on top (how close?) and low RH in soil"less" it's probably killing her with several excesses: salts/nutes that even if they would be absorved in regular RH are not because the plant can't even perform her "routine" tasks properly. Still would like to see some pics so i'm not shooting in the dark brother.

Cheers

Just min. Dead leaves getting close to top not the light. Light is 27 inch away.

Looks excess to me, never had to flush soiless nor that soil mix, I am from the EU but if it is "dying" on you putting more water will probably either kill or clean her... If you're on a monocrop, best of lucks man, and watch out next few times to not feed every time with a medium that works kind of like a sponge better water-food-water or water-water-food, and as usual with this plant, a little goes a long way...

Best of lucks, cheers.

Do you have a USB microscope??? Check the mangy leaves very carefully on the bottoms. Mites are extremely small. I have had plants extremely sick, and only found one or 2 mites per leaf. If it is bugs, i would guess russett mites, which looks like the leaves are burnt.

If you have been growing fine, and changed nothing, that is most likely the cause.

i went to 2600 ppm... in hydro and the plant died in 4 days.

i don't like going over 1600 ppm.

some afgan strains hate over nute and frequent watering.

If you want a quality flower at the end, less is more when it comes to fertilizing and soil EC.
