Stop with the nutes.. Try and flush with plain ph'd water and give them a few days. I'm sure you can get this under comtrol!:thumbsup: What size container are they in? If they are pretty small then nute lock out is highly possible.. I think the flush will get you back on track..:thumbsup: Along with a transplant if they are in small pots.Rootbound plants act crazy!

Those are big enough.. Good to hear your a day ahead of my advice to you!:thumbsup: Do it again today.. 5.8 to 7.0 would be a good target to shoot for... 6.5ish would do you a world of good. More either way would make thing alkiline or acidic.. Check soil ph and run off as well as the water your flushing with..Sounds to me your on the right track!

how much water would u say to flush my plant my book says three times as much as the volume of the pot [10l pot=30l water] now i didnt use that much first time around probably about 10l. i live in a flat so moving that amount of water seems a little much to me especialy as ill have to do it with buckets so i can ajust the ph

The book tells the right amount.. You would be safe to use half the amount to flush with.. But.. You will have to double the amount of times you flush. Do the flush slowly. You'll see them turn for the better.:thumbsup: Make sure that flush water ph is lower than what your run off is. Right around the what I mentioned earlier.. Wait almost a week before you add nutes. Or pick the pot up and tell by the weight of the pot whether it needs watering/feeding. You know you should'nt feed them every watering,right? It goes Water, Water, Feed or water, feed, water Then you will lessen the chance of ever getting your plants in a lock out situation.

You can wait if you have flushed one time. Just be sure and do it again tomorrow. Use half of what the book says. No nutes till ya get done flushin' and your run off is close to your ph number. When ya pots get light you can feed with 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutes,then finally you will be at full strength before ya know it. Great job,Dawg!:thumbsup::D:jointsmile::stoned:

thanks for the imput GG, three of me plants now looking sweet . growth on the other one has slowed and there are signs of nutelock on the new leaves but not as bad as before just a few spots. just one question for ya is there a set time for harvesting or can i decide will it affect the quality and taste:chainsaw:

It can make all the difference in the world as to how high you get,when harvested early.. I try to shoot for more amber trichomes versus milky to clear.I still have milky and clear on other buds and more amber on others closer to the top of the plant. Where light intensity was higher. Not much change as far as taste. IMO that is.. This is just what works for me.
