So yeah...I have no idea what to do anymore...I just feeding with straight unadjusted tap water tonight which seems to be about 6.8-7 ph.
Also I'm sure you can see how the leaves are growing down and curling under.. I dont whether that is a separate or related issue...

Please Help if you can!

Thank you for your time.

#14 is very applicable.. When trying to get a plant to live in the manner you expect it to.. You should use this recipe when watering. If your a soil grow.. Water/water/feed. Looks like you have over fed them. Flush them. See how they come around.

Ok, so I was over feeding her because when I did try the nutes it was every other watering, but the thing is I stopped feeding a long time ago... like 3 weeks.. I've just been straight watering because that yellowing began and it freaked me out so I stopped feeding with nutes but the yellowing continued... could that mean it was somethin else?

Did the yellowing only continue on the affected leaves or all growth???

If just the older fan leaves....its normal.... Dead or partially dead leaves will continue to yellow and die off with age.... It's the new growth that needs to be paid attention to when problems do arise....

YEah it continued on all growth, leaves die of all shapes, sizes and ages lol. Usually they die on the bottom 2/3 of the plant.
