Ok, I figured out the problem. Ph is off. I transplanted one plant into new soil because she was small enough to do so but this other one is too big and she has buds everywhere. Her Ph is in the range of 4.9-5.1. Way too low.

Two months ago I had transplanted her into a 5 gallon bucket. The soil I was to put her in was at 8.4 pH. So the lady at the nursery recommended how much sulfur to add in the mix to lower her pH before I put her in new soil. I had mixed a Ph adjuster to her soil (sulfur granuals) throughout the soil. So the granuals were not just sprinkled on top, they are all through the soil. The amount she suggested was too much. Now, two months later her pH is 5 and she has lock-up (turning yellow now). It's not like I can just scoop out the sulfur on top cause its all through the soil.

So my questions are, How much lime do I add, how is the best way to add it, and do I need to flush her afterwards. The box just says 4.5lbs per 1000sq ft which doesn't help me at all ( unless someone knows how many square feet of soil are in a 5 gallon bucket)
