Ok hi everyone this is my first post on here...

Let me fill you in, i started growing 3 Kilimanjaro cannabis plants about 8 weeks ago. It is winter here in the UK and so i have started them off indoors and in the summer i will slowly transfer them to the outdoor location. I have been using an off the shelf fertiliser (and using every 4 weeks) and spraying the leaves with sparkling water for c02 and watering regularly.

However all is not good, to begin with the plants flourished but now they appear to have halted growth. Also the leaves towards the bottom appear to crust up and drop off (this dryness begins on the tip of the leaves). I really want to save these plants, PLEASE help me

transplant your plants into bigger potters......your probably root bound...first signs are usually slowing of growth... dropping of lower leaves

Do NOT spray your plants with seltzer water.
Also you are only ferting every 4 weeks.
Fill out the form and post pics, but it sounds like the plants are hungry.

BTW yellowing is not the first symptom of rootbound. It's under-curled or slightly cupped leaves, and evidence that soil chemistry is starting to fluctuate. You'd see metals lockouts before general yellowing. General yellowing is typically N and/or Ca def or overheating of the space to 95 degrees for a sustained period of time.

im for sure no expert but looks to me like too much nutes and not enough light. best investment EVER is a good HPS bulb.

Looks like:
...your soil could use some perlite. (or a 'lighter' soil) Yours kinda looks like a clay-based backyard garden soil.
...'window' lighting is inadequate and likely their schedule is interrupted often with room lights and street lights. Not at all optimal. CFL's on a timer (or left on 24 hrs a day) will help dramatically, and a 400w MH would work even better, but you'd have to come up with a better growroom set-up for both. Keeping light out during dark periods is as important as giving ample light during lights-on. This is especially true during flower, but you're just vegging till a spring transplant, right?
...you are inviting bugs by using the seltzer water, and it tends to clog (gum's-up) the pores on the leaf, making respiration impossible. It does make your leaves work like flypaper to capture gnats, tho. (makes surrounding walls sticky, too)
...with the MG (All Purpose - 12-4-8) I was using 1/2 tsp:gallon, twice a week. (been using Fox Farms with great results for the past few years, tho)
...do you have a fan on 'em to strengthen the stems and provide fresh air?
...'filtered' water? You'll likely want a calcium suppliment, like CalMag Plus, or something similar.

Right on, too much feed for the amount of light, and unless you are in a warm-winter area, it probably gets COLD in front of those windows at night.
Check the cabinet growing section for some cheap and simple grow chamber ideas that will perk them back up again, and see what you can do about a better quality fertilizer than MG.
Pretty soon, you will need to give a heavy watering with tap water until it runs out the bottom of the pot, then water some MORE, but I'm concerned that with cool temps and low light you will have a hard time flushing correctly because the soil sits wetter for longer under your type of conditions.
