[glockglade]

Hey guys welcome to my first post and shockingly its a cry for help its my first time with everything so dont be too mean.
Background info:
160 total watts from 4 4ft floro bulbs two cool day two plant/aquarium
miracle grow organic soil
mg soluable plant food occasionally
orchid bloom for the big girl been two weeks since last treatment
ph balanced 6.5 water feed foliar and soil every other day small amounts though.

I recently had a severe whitefly problem and treated 3 days ago with neem oil and since then the plants have been very upset with me.... I need help asap!

The first pic is one of my 3 girls she was transplanted about 3 weeks ago and hasnt done much since she is soil under 4 40watt 4ft floros and kinda looks mad at me...

The second female is omg super screwed i transplanted her but due to it raining and me being very frustrated with my bitch i kinda took frustration out on her and pulled up a few roots on accident its been 3 days since transplanting.

The last one is strangely the first girl i ever got she is huge and 4 weeks into flowering but recently after the neem treatment for whitefly her lower leaves look kinda sad and depressed.
Any help is much appreciated thanks alot!!!

Those burnt leaves and dark green color are telling you it's way too much nutes (fertilizer). Remove all dead leaves.
#1 I'd flush well and give more light, no nutes for 2 weeks or so.
#2 I'd mist with pH'd water and keep soil moist/damp, not wet drippy. No nutes. Treat it like a clone, perhaps humidity dome too. It may just be a gonner though.
#3 I'd continue, prolly less nutes as above, flush if due (once a month at least) and mainly give lots more light. If the lamps are hanging above I'd remove them and stand up along both sides of the flowering plant like a sandwich or book ends. Do they still use book ends? Put the T-12 bulbs almost touching the leaves! They don't get hot so no worries. More light, more, more, more. Get all the CFL bulbs (26 watts or more, more the better) and put as many as you can in there. I'm trying to say more light.

and me being very frustrated with my bitch

If you compare the bulbs above by "color temp" and Lumen output you'll notice the "Warm White" is what you want now. Warm is yellowish light for flower while "full spectrum or daylight" bulbs are cooler and blueish for vegging/cloning/seedlings.

Change those bulbs to warm white and ditch the middle of the road cool white and sorry but those plant bulbs are an expensive gimmic. Go by color temp not plant pictures on the fancy label.

I use the Bill Cosby approach. I tell my ladies "I brought you into this world, I can damn well take you out. And make another one that looks just like you".
Seems to work fine...:jointsmile:

I like your style... except i dont really have any replacements so it would be a weak threat at best and they are very smart she might know better...

I wonder...could you crush-up and bottle something like Eau de Studly Male, and spray it around the room? Get the ladies hot-n-sticky without risking pollination...

I guess you're not looking to the NOW for votes on gardener of the year...? (Google)
