Yellowing again.
Alright here we go. Some colorful insight to your troubles. The last hour has been spent investigating your threads and I believe that I have formed a hypothesis as to why you are having this somewhat extreme discoloration in your lady's......
I noticed in your first thread that you concluded your plants were root bound and needed to be transplanted right? And you proceeded to transplant them; the method of transplant is what I think is to blame for this unfortunate turn of events.
To my understanding, you removed your plants from their 3 gallon containers, then you proceeded to trim the rootball that had formed on before mentioned plants. You then put fresh soil in the bottom and re-planted your plants. Correct.
You mentioned that the bottom of you root ball was dry, it seemed as if you hadn't been watering it enough. This intrigued me some, but I'm pretty "Lit" at the moment and well, it just, yeah, intrigued me.
So here is what I think is going on. You were, without knowledge of, under watering your plants. These exhibited some of the same characteristics as a root bound plant when in fact they were under watered and low on nutes. Although, a transplant into a 5 gal. pot would have been beneficial, the roots didn't look so bad as to where they would be dying as such.
So now you have chopped, if you HAVE chopped, you roots down in size and your plants are unable to take up the large amount of nutrients that is needs right now due to the recent trim job it received. When all she needed in the first place was more water and a larger container.
It's hit or miss, but if this was a Sherlock Holmes movie I'd be right on. I hoped this was useful and entertaining to everyone.
