they were doing great then some of the lower leaves started to die. they aren't in to flower yet. its slowly getting worse. it started when i cut em back from the strong nutes to flush the soil a little sould i give em the nute back?
I've checked for bugs and such, didn't find anything. thank for any and all input.
to me it looks like there dieing of beeing to drie or it is stressed out i have heard about that the plants stress out if you put to much presher on them
I have a couple soil plants that the same happened to. I think it was a PH problem....I flushed them and fed them with some new PHed fox farm nutes and they perked up. The time before I didnt PH the nute mix (too low), thats why I think this.
the soil looks quite compact in the second picture. If ph etc. is ok I would suggest repotting with a well draining and airy mix and gently massaging the root ball to loosen up the soil.
when plants are in pots the roots make the soil more and more compact as they develop. The result is less and less air to the roots, less nutrient uptake etc. etc. It appears as if your plants suddenly hit a brick wall in development so you start ferting/flushing etc. usually only making things worse. :weedpoke:
good luck :)
the soil is loose
the plant will kill off what it doesnt need. if fan leaves get insufficient light for a sufficient amount of time, they'll die. no worries, it your plants way of saving energy:)

ps i have BAGS of fallen leaves, lol:p
so you think it would be a good idea to wrap the area in mylar?
mylar is always a good idea
