sounds like overfert to me tho, if you repotted right before you went into 12/12 and added flowering ferts on top of the miracle grow crap it will deminish your plants... btw what kind of ferts are you using>>>???

It's probably the miracle grow soil, search on that and see what people say about correcting the problems associated with it.

just water
no ferts

they look pretty dead to me. could it be extreme overwatering? the soil looks wet. did it happen fast or gradually? what's the ph? do you have dechlorinated water. also if there is no perlite added to the soil mix then the roots could be suffocating and rotting if you water alot and it doesn't have a chance to dry thoroughly. those plants are in very bad shape. if you give as much info as possible then someone can better help solve the problem so it doesn't happen again to your next grow. those plants don't look like they are gonna make it to harvest. mj is resilient so you never know but i would be supprised if those plants make it especially the second 2. good luck and i hope you have better results in the future. don't get discouraged, stick with it!!!

Ewwww...lol

[belectric81]

It happened within 3 to 4 days right after I watered it
I let my water sit to declorenate
ph is between 6 and 7
my buckets have alot of holes that I have drilled for drainage
It also looks loke somthing was eating at the stalks, I see some small flys like fruit flys can that have an effect, if so how to get ride of them, what can I put on the plant?

Also, next time you decide to grow dont use that miracle grow garbage. Go to wal mart or something and buy a large bag of vermiculite, a large bag of perlite and a large bag of peat moss. Mix these three together in equal parts.
1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 peat moss. This will give you a good substrate that has enough water retention to keep your plants happy but also enough water drainage as to let your soil breathe and get some oxygen to your root system. If your soil is constant soaked you roots will suffocate and rot.
