This condition happenened over night. I had a slight nute burn problem. Flushed system untill ppm did't rise. Reduced the nutes and this is what I found the next am. I freaked out. Flushed it again. This time after flushing for about an hour checked ppm did't show any. Changed nutes again even added less. The pic's are set in order of days taken. "I don't know if I should shit or get off the pot". If there is anything that can be done at this point is probly doubtful. I'm thinking after that first flush, I should have started with even less nutes than I did. I don't think it's the heat from light because it did't show any earlier signs. Any way this is the reason for my crapy attitude. She's about 15 days into flowering and she was looking so good.

I have no clue what is wrong but im praying to the pot gods this is somthing you can recover :(.
I can ask what they will ask though :P
What type of light , how far? What is the most recent nutes you used and when was the last watering, what can you think might have possibly changed in the last weeek, what did you do different?

I've been using Technaflora products there recipe for success plan. !000w HPS Light has been 21/2 to 3 feet from plant. The flush I used 1st was CLEAREX 3 gal. res. 15-30ml per gal. I think I used 60ml. I saw ppm rise then stopped. I don't know if this has anything to do with this but, lights were schd. to go out at 7pm just at the time I took my last ppm reading. So she did't get anything till next am. That's when I saw the first signs of there was something really wrong. Thats when I flushed again.

i want to make it clear before i try and help that i am in no way an expert grower, i just want to try an suggest some things and maybe the experts will pop in and know what exactly to do..
one thing that i first thought looking at that picture is that it possibly could be rootbound, how big is that pot your using? it really doesnt look big enough for a plant that big..
another thing could possibly be overwatering, or over nute.. thats all of my knowledge (which isnt a lot)
but like i said i just want to help but i cant tell you from first hand experience, so wait untill you get more responses.. other than that just let the soil dry out and flush it again, maybe even try rasing the light up just a tad to see if that has any effect? good luck man, hope this helps

most definately an over-fert and maybe even soggy soil. i had something similiar and those hardcore droopy ones you see will dry up and die. the curling in some is to much nitrogen. are you in flowering or veg? and how far a long on it.

If it recovers it will take an extra few weeks to mature.
That looks like rockwool jammed into a black pot with some sort of ebb and flow system. Maybe just a huge drainage bucket?
If the first is true then the root bound thing may be worth looking into, but if the roots are too damaged you could be screwed. I used to use rookwool and had similar ph/root problems. Just flush with tested water and a light (seedling strength) fert.

I dought that an overnute problem would occur overnight that severly I would lean more toward root rot are the rots brown and slimy.

I just had a very interesting problem that seems similar to yours. Turned out to be what I believe was a copper defiency and I was doing the same thing as you--lessening the nutes and the plant got worse and worse. Went down pretty much in 36 hours. PH was 5.9,(hydro) ppm 700 (started at nine but kept diluting) and the plant turned around completely when I simply changed the res to fresh nutes at the normal strenth. The signs of it were: severe quick wilting starting with the new growth first, leaves appeared stringy and limp and curled downward into a claw like thing. Looked like heat stress except all the new growth was wilting; even stuff not near the light. The signs apparently mimic signs of overfert--which is what I thought and treated accordingly--to the continued detriment of the plant. The plant is doing great now--pretty much back to normal. How is yours doing?

One other thing--my plants are about that size and i couldn't cram the roots of them into that little bucket you've got with a trash compactor. Good luck.
