what am i doing wrong?

anyone have any other opinions, i still think its pH but im not an expert with plant problems as ive never really had any till now. i took out alll the loose soil i could and replaced it with light warrior which is pH balanced somewhere in the mid 6's i believe.
ive been watering with some water thats a little too basic so i added a little bit of nutrients to it to get it back down to about 6.5 pH.

my question is, if this indeed is a pH problem, have i done everything i can to get rid of it? and, where do i go from here? im thinking its just a waiting game now and hopefully in a week or so itll be back to its normal green healthy self. thanks for all the help so far too!

Looks like you may have a manganese or pottasium defiency. Just need to add some greensand for manganese. For the pottasium use Earthjuice. If its not the acid problem then you may have a calicium defiency.

Have you ever grown before? Or were you just looking at the troubleshooting pictures?
This is a formal warning: If you don't know about the subject, don't try to pretend you do. This is not a game- our members are real, legal, medical users who have a limited plant count and depend upon their medicine. Following confidently-posted CRAP advice from n00bs could potentially KILL their plants and deprive them of this medicine.
By the way, the elements are spelled 'Potassium' and 'Calcium'.

Mushaboom, you are cloning into a hydroponic medium and should aim for a pH right at 6.0 for your RW cubes. Treat them [cubes not clones] before cloning to achieve this- soak in a 6.0 solution or a commercial RW conditioner, rinse with 6.0 pH'd tap water, squeeze out excess, and use.
You look like you have too much heat/light and not enough moisture, but without a reasonable pH you won't gain a lot from correcting that.

As for the older plant, I see scarring from Magnesium deficiency on the low leaves, and slight fertilizer burn on the upper ones. That spells lockout to me. You are running soilless, which means your pH should be dialled in around 6.2-6.5, and don't scoop out soil- you'll damage roots. You need to flush with tap water at pH 6.4 to bring your medium in range, and then feed with a COMPLETE fertilizer that contains micronutrients. Get on a regular feeding schedule too- not just whenever you remember to feed. This is important. Be consistent. Your upper leaves don't look bad actually, and I think that you may already have flushed out the worst salts that were in the soil, but you will need to be sure.
If I were you, I'd lose the LK and hydroguard for now, flush well, and do a light foliar feed with a micronutrient such as GH micro or Algoflash mixed up at half strength.

Well noone is going to listen to me anyways I just like to thread on here. You worry too much :cool:

The person you're giving "advice" to probably does... :wtf:

Don't flame, man... this isn't a competition. Stinky made her case crystal clear - the growers here who need advice aren't looking to sift through a bunch of bullshit answers by people who have no clue what they're talking about. If you came here because you want to learn about the finer points of growing this medicine, then by all means, you're welcome to read to your hearts content. There's more than enough solid information in the backlogs of these forums to keep you busy for a very long time.

But you should really watch who you burn bridges with around here. You'll be up shit creek without a paddle (or even a boat) if you've gone and run your mouth to experienced growers like Stinky, and YOUR crop is the one in dire need of sound advice. Something for you to think about.

(Mushaboom - Sorry for counter-hijacking your thread, bro.)
:angry3:

well i dont remember what i did to correct it but everything is going great now. incredibly actually. thanks for everyones input and tips. those ugly ugly little clones i had in rockwool seemed like they were dying and hopeless but i never give up and now theyre thriving! ill see about getting some pictures up soon :)
