am 9days from end

Maybe if you had some pics? How many weeks of flowering so far? Do the buds still look good?

Not sure what a diamond is, but I would assume it's pretty toasty 8 inches under that bulb. Have you tried putting your hand 8 inches underneath it and keeping it there? How are they getting fresh air?



Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? filtered tap water Maybe need CalMag with that.



14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? only give nut feeds twice daily 2litre at a time

Shouldn't be watering them that many times. You should always let them get pretty dry between waterings. Then when you do water, give them enough to get about 10% run-off. Watering too often may cause root-rot.



16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? just changed them down a bit
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? 5.7

Too low. I'm guessing it's a peat based soil and the buffer ran out, dropping the ph. You should aim around 6.5 http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/153522-soil-runoff-ph-flushing-correct-lockouts-why-how-do.html[/QUOTE]


21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? dont check

You should definitely keep an eye on them at all times. If the ambient temps get above 30C, the plant will grow slower. Get a thermometer and put around the middle-top of your room, but not directly in the light (give it a little shade or something)

Pics would be good also, if it's getting worse you can always chop it (assuming it is really 9 days from finishing):jointsmile:

Some more reading will help you a lot. Check out the stickies in the different sections, and the FAQ's. All the info you need is right in this site :thumbsup: Happy growing :)

(probably missed something, but hopefully one of the experts stops by)

Like Finn said, overwatering is a big problem. That "funky" smell could be root rot, and your PH is on the low side for a soil mix. Get it back up around 6.5. On top of the overwatering you are now flushing as well to compound the problem. You must let roots get air. No air to roots=saggy stunted growth.

Get reading that thread Finn gave ya. And what are you seeing that is telling you that you are 9 days from the end?

Looking at the pics, I would probably be inclined to harvest them. Any issues you have probably won't be rectified in the 9 days that are left, and the situation is probably only going to decline more. You could also let the soil dry for a day or 2 then harvest. As the soil dries, you may see some of the leaves perk back up some.

On a positive note, it looks like you'll be smoking some good nugs in the near future.

Wow, that looks bad. I vote too much water.

Let as much water as possible drain out, get a dehumidifier maybe and maybe even repot into some dry soil with perlite. Do whatever you can to dry the soil and her roots.

Also, it's hard to tell without a close-up of the buds and trichs, but from a distance I'd say you can probably let that fill out for longer than 9 more days.

But yeah, at least you have some buds; now if all else fails you can just chop it, dry it cure it and smoke it.

Good luck.
