Just to be safe....your a checking ph of your water and soil runoff right? And those are both normal? Can you transplant to better soil? That would be a better bet than flushing here but if you can't .....go for it cause they don't look very happy right now. (Ps...not overwatering either are you? Just trying to cover all bases...:))
Like Weedhound suggested, you will need to transplant to a better soil. Your soil cannot be leeched of it's nutrients and you will continue to have the same problems.
Ok the last time i checked soil runoff the ph was around 6.5. I usually water around like every 5 to 6 days when she starts looking a little thirsty. I lifted the pot up to see if it was still heavy but its not that heavy even though i can tell it still has alot of moisture still in the soil. I also saw a couple of roots coming out of the bottom of the pot, so do you think root bound could be contributing to this problem? I didnt have any other soil at the time that i put her in the old MG Organic i still had hanging around. Now though i have some other soil that is great that is made at my local gardening shop and my tomatoes and two of my other C99 clones seem to love it.
Anyway if i need to i'll take pics of it or whatever you guys need to help me out. I was thinking of making this C99 clone a mother and just throwing all the rest of the clones into flower but if she's too bad off i'll just use another for a mother and try to fix her and put her into flower. I just want a really healthy mom!
Health is important in a mom. I'd use a different one that hasn't been exposed to stress.
You should flush the crap out of that plant. Water @pH 6.7, 2-3 gallons of it. Add drainage holes and rip the catch tray off the pot if it has one. You want the water to be able to flow through freely and then for the soil to dry out fast.
Ok I flushed her until the point that i thought she was at risk of drowning. I'm not exactly sure how many gallons i used but it was about half of a 5 gallon bucket. How will i know if the flush has helped her out? Should i still try to transplant her into some better soil?
