Older leaves are initially chlorotic but soon develop dark necrotic lesions
(dead tissue). First apparent on the tips and margins of the leaves. Stem and branches may become weak and easily broken, the plant may also stretch. The plant will become susceptible to disease and toxicity. In addition to appearing to look like iron deficiency, the tips of the leaves curl and the edges burn and die.
Potassium - Too much sodium (Na) displaces K, causing a K deficiency. Sources of high salinity are: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate "pH-up"), too much manure, and the use of water-softening filters (which should not be used). If the problem is Na, flush the soil. K can get locked up from too much Ca or ammonium nitrogen, and possibly cold weather.

This is from our resource section.

I remember in another thread or website they had a list of amendments and what their K content was, I will check to see if I can find it.

I forget what nutes you are using but like PC said, you could have a lockout situation happeniing from salt buildup. My bro says that you can actually stick your finger in the water and taste it for excessive saltiness. If you haven't been changing out your rez water and rinsing the rez good at least at the flip then you may have buildup.

Also, are you sure that you have potassium deficiency and not just the beginning of the end of flower yellowing? I know when mine get towards the end of the flower, many of the lower and mid leaves will start to get necrotic from the plant stealing nutrients for the buds.
