I should have done something earlier.... is she a goner??

[Alisha]

This started when i gave her the first dose of nutrients, so i stopped feeding. I think I started the nutrients about a month ago. The browning is getting closer to the buds so I decided to say something. I flushed her twice, too. because the browning never stopped. I used bat guano and molasses for the nutrients. please help!

also she is the only one out of 4 that this happened to. and the browning starts in the veins i believe.

what should i do now??

Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. (vermiculite, perlite, worm castings...) fafard potting mix, nothing added

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. i made a tea that i found the recipe on here, i used 1 teaspoon bat guano and 1 teaspoon molasses. i don't know what the ratio would be.

...anyone? she keeps getting worse every day, so some help would really be appreciated. if i could return the favor in any way just let me know. because i am willing to do pretty much whatever to find out what's wrong with her

There's probably something about the guano and molasses that is killing the plant. I'm guessing the guano is the problem, too much of it. I suspect this plant is pretty much gone, but next time try this. One cup of foxfarm powder fertilizer mixed in about 4-5 gallons of soil. you shouldn't need much else.

I'm guessing your ph is way off, especially don't use distilled water unless your using cal-mag. When flushing you need your flush water ph'ed correctly or they will never recover.
get a meter. keep your soil runoff in check and you shouldn't have too many problems.
good luck
