Plant in Flower Dying

Sorry, I should have explained this better. Most growers transplant just before or just after switching to 12/12. This means you are giving your plant(s) fresh sources of nutrients from the OF soil, so cutting-back a tad on your flower nutrients for a few weeks is usually a must. Also, as a side-note...they'll stretch a tad more using pre-nuted soils for final transplant. As with any soil/nutrient combination...it takes a little getting used-to.

Did you get the Fox Farms trio plus Open Sesame, or just the Open Sesame alone? (the trio works, and there's a handy weekly feeding chart available for ease of use)

The soil shouldn't have anything to do with it because I transplanted them into it like two months ago. I knew it already had some nutrients in it too so I didn't start feeding until a couple weeks after transplanting.

I just have Open Sesame. I read on it that it was for the early part of flowering so I've been meaning to go get another fertilizer. I will get on that tomorrow.

mites are tiny...did you look under your leaves because those photos look like a bad case of spider mites:(

i agree with stra8,look under your leaves,with a magnifier if need be!!

I can find any mites. I looked over the bottom of the leaves with a magnifying glass.
I already had one plant I cut down because of this and now a second plant has the same thing (those are the most recent pics) and it is getting worse every day. It started to stink like rotting vegetation today too. It's the exact same nasty smell the other plant was putting off. I normally like the smell in my grown room, but not now.
This is becoming an extremely serious problem. I only had four plants and I already lost one and the sick one I still have is in bad shape and will probably die too. My two healthy plants I have left still look really good and are showing no signs of being sick, but neither did the last one to get sick until a few days after my first plant died. I probably have two weeks of flowering left on my two healthy plants. Luckily the two healthy ones were also the two that were farthest along in the flowering process.
I added some stuff to bring up the PH today and I'm really hoping that helps. It was tough to get a ph read from the runoff, but I think my PH was a little low. Maybe 5.5 or so. Does that sound like it could be a problem? I would think it was either that or too many nutrients. I don't know what nutrient in particular would cause that kind of a reaction though. This is a god damn disaster. Right at the end I loose half of my crop.

If keeping the medium too wet, the soil will start to rot. As will your roots.

Did you replace the Open Sesame yet?

Your water ph (both, ingoing and runoff) should be in the 6.3 to 6.8 range. 5.5 ph is way too low for a peat-based medium.

i agree with rusty...ower water and i had a similar thing happen but with bud blood...i mixed a liter but added what normally goes in 4 liters and it literally cooked the plant very similar to what your first photo looked like...so it may be a over dose of pottasium...with open sesame rated at 5-45-19 and feeding every other day that is my best guess here...if those white spots are not caused by mites:(

IM HAVE'N THE SAME PROB LOL

They would turn darker green, curl up and die. It was a pretty quick process. Probably about half of the leaves on the top 18 inces of the plant died or are dying. I trimmed off most of them, but there are still some on there so I took a couple pictures.
I water and feed them every other day, but I doubt I gave it too much because the other three plants look great. The only other thing that I think it could be is that the other day I was adjusting the light and it came down and was touching the top part of that plant for five or ten seconds. It was hot at the time. I don't think that makes much sense though because leaves are dying too far down the plant for that to be the case. So far the leaves on the bottom three or four feet of the plant look fine.
Does anybody have any idea what could be going on here? I'm going to go ahead and flush that plant tonight just in case it was overfeeding, but I'm still pretty stumped on this one.
