Please Help: Plant's leaves terribly yellow yet buds continue to swell?

can't get any of the others to load

one more try...hope u like the pics...the plant in the top right corner of my room is skunk #1 at wk. 7 (note first pic)...2 in the front are NLx and one in top left is durban/skunk #1 all at wk. 4 (note 1st pic)...i really need some advice...check my threads above b/c i left a great bit of detail...by the way the white spots are from a bug treatment i did 3 days ago (i didn't find any bugs but wanted to be safe-only takes 3days to deteriorate for a safe harvest so i thought it couldnt hurt)...please help they look like hell

couple thing , dude. the two biggest problems people have with their first grow is too much water and too much ferts (some call it loving them too much). it looks from here like too much ferts . if thats the case , and I think it is , after you flush with ph'ed water, DON"T feed for a while. The burnt leaves are not gonna heal ....your looking for your new groth to be healthy.

That's the second person who's said too much ferts.

thanks all...i flushed em with clearex today...we'll see what happens

This may be completely useless information as i grow hydro, but, last year i hhad 2 of 6 plants go incredibly yellow. I had no idea why, and nor did anyone on here!
It turned out my airstones were blocked, and my roots were getting no oxygen, therefore they rotted and died.

Basically what im suggesting is that you may well be overwatering to the point of rotting your roots??
The smell you mention, if it really is quite a nasty smell, could be the same smell i experienced from the rotting roots?

For you i hope its not the case, but i feel you ought to try and find out?

fingers crossed for you :)

yea...i read in my "ask ed" book the same thing so i treated the plants with water with hydrogen peroxide which adds oxygen to the plants...then i flushed em...so my next watering i plan on doing the same...1 part peroxide...4 part water...should help from what i've read...and i've greatly reduced my watering...thanks for your input

ok so my plants look worse after the flush...they are even more yellow and sickly...the areas near the bud regions were beginning to green up a lil begore the flush and now are yellow like the rest of the plant...any ideas? 2 flushes in 2 weeks may have been too much for em to handle...i got liquid karma, bio-bloom and topmax...would the karma in a light dosage help pull the plants thru...or would it do more harm then good?
