One shoot is dying, pistils are dying too. Can anyone help?!

Hey guys, this is my first grow on almost 3 years. Ive always bought good genetics tho, no bad seeds or luck for me. And I believe that it's 100% worth it until you fund something you like. Now back to my plants, one of them is doing very well compared to the other. Any one kno what the problem is? It's only happening to the bud on one shoot. Other shoots have thier leaves yellowing. But this ones pistils are actually dying. Anyone kno what it is? Thanks for the help. I'm going to try and post pics but I'm using my phone right now. If anyone replys today I'll post pics asap

Ga.

Hey, Thanks for the quick response, here are the pics. these first 3 are of the damaged plant, its only really happening on one shoot. the others are starting to yellow. Im 3 weeks into flowering, using Advanced Nutes super tea bloom (2.3-3-2) every 2nd watering, and ive used schultz bloom builder (10-54-10 or something) extremly low dose once, 1 week into flower. heat is not an issue, at 25 c/day, 18-19 c/night. anyone know whats up?

these are of the nicer looking one. kush hybrid.

If some older fan leaves appear to be extreamly dark, or slightly waxy, you may be overfeeding.. The downward leaf curl and narcosis,(dead tips) would indicate to me to much (n). Yor plants are fairly far along so do not panic. You could try just using water for the next while, and if they worsen, try leaching. I would also consider using something other than schultz, those numbers are extreme, and it is not a quality product.

Leaf curl and tip burn are signs of overfeeding, but yellow leaves show that the problem is not nitrogen. too much P or K is likely. all nutes are used seperately by plants so you can burn a plant with P for example, but the plant can still be deficient in N or K... or micro nutes.
You are not using too much Nitrogen. try backing off on your bloom feed strength. if the problem clears up, your good to go. If you cut back bloom nutes and the tip burn and leaf curl go away, but the leaves are getting more yellow ( they will) just add some nitrogen until the leaves begin to regreen. only small amounts of N though. too much N will hinder bud and flowering hormone production.

Thanks guys. I'll lighten up on the feedings. I thought that might be it. I think my ph is high too. I only have an aquarium ph test right now. And the water frOm my tap and the runoff seem to be ok (5.5-6.5) Even tho I can see salt on top of the soil. That use to be worse, after several large waterings it slowly went away. Too much feeding = salt buildup. So I'll lighten up big time. I also remember that I was feeding the other plant less too. And less often.

Nutrient disorders and their related effects Some info here, maybe helpful. If you are egiving that other plant less on pupose to figure out a happy medium, it is super fucking clever!

If you could take photos in white light, that would help.

Yep. That's what I was doing. It must have passed my mind when I was freaking out about the problem. I'm gonna try using a higher n fert for the yellowing plant next feeding. The other one I'm gonna just water because it's looking nicer. I'll post more pics in a week or so. But it might be in a different thread unless nothing changes on my plant
