should i do anything or just let be?

Yo slim!
I am a certified HVAC Tech.I am a sheet metal mechanic as well! So let me tell you this.The freon charge on your AC unit is low.Have someone come check it out! Make sure they check the super heat.It's an HVAC term the tech man will know will know by the gauges reading! He'll let you know if you need freon or not.Before you call someone,look and see if your lineset is frozen,accually will have ice on the line due to lack of insulation.could be a fix you could do without calling anyone!pull the black coating back together and duct tape the seem if it splitm or is torn.I still say you need a charge on it.You seem to have a refrigerant leak!I have 2 400 watt HPS lights and 1 265 cfm hydrofarm fan it will change the room temp in 5 minutes and drop th temp by 6 or so degrees.The size of your room makes alot of difference too.

Holla!

This is what I was talking about.
There is no way that your house should be that hot with an AC going.

the heat issue has been taken care of.. i just dropped my thermostat to the 60's, and it stays running basically 24/7 now, but the house is freezing cold, and the room is staying right at 90 degree's... sometime this week i am getting a bad ass squirrel cage fan, that is rated at 435 cfm, so hopefully that will drop it down a little bit more... but the temp thing has now been handled, just going to kill me on the electric....

i need to get my ladies back to being green and healthy~!!

blow some of that frezing air into the room or closet.

so one of my plants took a turn for the worse for some reason... she was doing semi-alright until this last watering, where she got 2 qts of water w/ sprinkles of epsom salt..
now each of her leaf's is burnt and she is basically lifeless..
i DO NOT know what the hell is going on here... HOW DO I STOP THIS???
someone has to know something, i know that i am not the only one that has experienced this issue, PLEASE help me out here somebody..
my temperature issue has temporarily been resolved... stays at 90 in there all day, i kno it's still hot, but i read that it can still grow in that temp..
could it be the water i am using? it's straight out the sink, water i use to wash my face, brush my teeth.. ( so it's clean water )
maybe i should take lights to 18/6? they are growing so much right now though, i dont think that would do anything but slow them down and give the yellow infastation take over...
the ones that were able to get out of this rut that they're all caught in, and grow a little, are growing faster than the yellow sploges can take over... but eventually i start to see specks of yellow coming up..
on the stems of all of them, none are completely green.. some have purple stripes on the main stem, and some have purple stripes on secondary stems..
the leaf's that are burnt, look like someone took a lighter to the tips and just started to burn them all around... middle is still yellow/green, everywhere else around it it's a burnt grey/brown...
they have not been given any nutes except sprinkles of epsom salt in about 13 days... ( they were watered saturday w/ sprinkles of epsom salt. )
i really do appreciate all of everyones input, i got my temps down b/c of it!

Check this out http://www.geocities.com/nutrientproblems/ , what is your drainage like, do you have holes in the pot ? the soil, to me, looks very sticky and muddy, maybe the roots arn't getting enough oxygen or worse, are staved of it. This can also cause yellowing and brown patchs and cause leaves to die.

alright , so since i have over nuted them and burnt them up, some of the plants are still yellow , and some have gone back to that nice green, but are losing bottom leaf's..
any idea's ?
last watering i fed them just water, superthrive, and sprinkles of epsom salt..
prior to that watering i had fed them small amounts of alaska fish emulsion ( 5-1-1 ), and that sent them to hell.. now they are recovering..
some have nice green leaf's, but the bottom leaf's are yellowing and then withering away, some are just like a neon green/yellow color, and some have red/purple stems...
temps are pretty hot in there right now, somewhere around 97...
1000w MH about 3 ft above them...
the 2 that are in bigger pots WERE once my biggest plants, but they were also the ones turning yellow and withering away the most, so i transplanted them into bigger pots.
plants have not had any nutes in about 12 days now..
anyone w/ some grows up under their belts, please advise me on what you would do in this situation...
i really appreciate your input..

thanks!

Dont worry too much about the bottom of your plant. This area doesnt get much light anyhoot since you are growing inside. I usually cut the bottom branches of my plants, this way more of the plants energy is focused on the middle to the top of the plant, and you have better air circulation, which leads to less problems with pests, mildews, etc etc....
Good luck and dont forget to clone anything that looks promising and/or, is a favorite.:thumbsup:

here's pics of what is going on in there.

i appreciate that site octane.. i definately think i have a nute issue going on, whether it be that they lack it or maybe have nute lockup..
not sure of what it is though, and do not know how to fix...


peace!

i have read and read and read and read...
i just dont want to do the wrong thing and mess them up even more...

hey daima for someone reason i am just now seeing your message...
so you DO cut off the bottom leaf's on your plants? I would really love to cut off all those yellow leaf's, i heard that it tremendously stress's the plant..??
anyone else have any experience w/ cutting the leaf's on a plant? the bottom ones on mine are extremely yellow and burnt for some reason, (as i am sure u can tell from pics )
i am definately going to make the drive to the hydro shop for...
digital ph meter, ph up/down, some nutes, and some sticky traps for insects.. can't think of anything else i may need, if u know of any good products that may help my girls come back 100%, PLEASE let me know of it..

thanks as always!

The stress that is introduced is very minimal and does not cause damage to the plant, or it's outcome. The cannabis plant is very very resilient. Yellow leaves no longer serve the plant any use.
When i cut my bottom branches i cut them at the begining of veg, and then again at the begining of the flowering stage, and then once more after about 3 weeeks into flowering, if needed. Since i grow inside i usually start flowering my plants when they are about14-18 inches high, doing around 25-38 plants at a time, depending. Everything i do i do from clone. No waste of time, light, soil, etc etc. I know what i am getting. No suprises with unwanted males/herms. No time/effort lost. Harvest wegiht, dried, is a little more than 2 lbs every 2.5 months.(time to buy bubble bags at this stage:thumbsup: )
When i encounter a pest problem(which is very rare due to keeping plants manicured, fan on, low heat), i go buy a dozen ladybugs. They will eat every pest in your grow room and leave no mess behind. I have used Neem Oil before but after discovering the wonders of predatory insects i am 100% pro-predator bug. Creating the outdoors indoors is the best way to go, IMO, of course. Wind, sun , food, all in the closet.

daima, thanks man for the info.. i am going to chop off some of those bottom yellow leaf's today on one of my plants and see if she survives...

could all this yellowing be a disease that is spreading from one plant to the other?
if it were to be a disease what are the steps one would take to cure a plant of disease? i know cleaning the grow room w/ bleach and sanatizing everything, but how do you cure the plant?
reason i think it may be a disease that is going on in there is b/c on both of my plants that i have NEVER fed any type of nute other than sprinkles of epsom salt, and small drops of SuperThrive, they are now also getting a yellow pigment to them...
the leaf's on those ones are not dying/burning away like the other plants that did get fish emulsion, but they are yellowing...
i am starting to think that i may lose this entire grow b/c the yellowing is now making it's way to the top leaf's on my other plants, and burning the tips..
it was all on the bottom leaf's but now spreading upwards..
