FINNALY!!! My troubleshooting form is filled!!! HELP!
More specific, brand name, NPK values, is it sandier or more peat mossy.
I just had a bad experience w/ some cheap soil I bought, actually had styrofoam instead of perlite. Switched my clones back to MG and fixed pretty much everything.

Could also be rootbound, maybe some root rot, the soil could become very compact actually crushing the roots and not letting them grow. Probably not draining too well and that could cause some root rot.

Under most circumstances, you should have a feeding regimen in place for flowering. If you mix your own soil, adding all the amendments yourself then this isn't always necessary, but if you're not then you need to be supplementing the phosphorus and potassium that your plant is leeching from the leaves. It looks like it could be a really bad case of phosphorus deficiency, so you might want to consider using your bloom fertilizer on the plants that are just starting to show symptoms. Only start out at about 1/4 of the recommended dosage, especially if you're using a strong fertilizer that's made for tomatoes or perennials, and work your way up gradually.

If this is only happening after veg, and during flower...likely it's either what you've transplanted into, (your soil mix) or you nutrients. Plants use phosphorous in veg too, so possibly would see signs early.
If there's no perlite or other ammendment to lighten-up the soil, your soil can suffocate the root system. The mud compacts around the roots, starving them of air and nutrients....and promotes root rot.
A good commercial soil (and perhaps some added perlite if necessary) helps avoid most of these types of soil problems, and using rose food (10-52-10) is a great way to overnute your ladies.
If you do some research, you would notice the NPK numbers on the package. Do yourself a favor, and check-out the normal nutrients most cannabis growers use. Fox Farms, Botanicare...to name a couple.
FF Tiger Bloom is 2-8-4. (given every week per instructions) The most I've ever given was a double dose, pulling the theoretical ratio to 4-16-8. It severly burned the ladies, and stunted them dramatically even at this low ratio. You are giving double this semi-toxic ratio, every how often...?
I'm with Mr. Clandestine on this one...1/4 to 1/8 dose, and wait a few days between dicking with it, or you'll end-up loving your ladies to death.
2% rice? Why? Was it composted? I'm pretty sure cannabis wont uptake rice without a hollandaise or soy sauce...but I hear butter works in a pinch. :jointsmile:

Thanks rusty and clandestine
I have only ferted ONCE with this 10-50-10. But now they are dead...that is for sure.
I will get some 10-10-10 or something with less amounts of P so that ferts wont burn them. Tho nute burn didnt kill them because they died even before i added the fertilizer.
These is a pic from the roots. (they dont look rotten or unhealthy to me)

For the next grow:
i will get some perlite and mix 40% perlite and 60% soil mix (BTW rusty its not rice its something i cant translate correctly, but it is a part from the rice)
For the next time should i start adding the fert with high P before they start flowering?
