Yeah the soil im using isn't that great, it was my first time growing so I didn't know all my information when I began.

To me, it looks like some sort of foliar burn. Are you doing any foliar spraying?

If so, and you're doing it in the morning just before it gets hot outside, your plants are gonna fry exactly the way it looks in those pics.

Another thing to consider is if you're using tap water, it has trace minerals and other elements such as Lyme or Rust that can possibly be detrimental to your plant's health.

If you're using "softened water" which is high in sodium, on top of Epsom Salts, that will burn your plants for sure.

Flushing with Reverse Osmosis filtered water would be your best bet and keep your eye on the new growth after approx. 1 week after flushing to see if there is an improvement. Keep in mind that soil and soil-less mixes have excellent nutrient retention, so be sure to use enough water so that apporx. 1 to 2 quarts of water flow out during the flush.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to get a digital temp/hum gauge to make sure your environment is comfy for the gurls as well.

Best of luck!

Okay, I watered the plants last friday so Im going to water them on tuesday and Im going to try to flush the plant that is dyeing. I usually water them with tap water and since they were growing great I thought no harm could come from it but I could be wrong. Im just going to water them with twice filtered water and see how that works out.
