Well it's not overfeeding, so we can rule that out.

Have you been giving them fert.? If not, that is a major deficiency. If you haven't been giving them food, they NEED it or it will continue and eventually kill your entire plant.

If it's in veg. right now, which it looks like it is, it needs some high in Nitrogen (N-P-K). There are 3 numbers on a container of fert., so any fert you get, make sure the first number, the N, is the highest number. Avoid Miracle Grow food as it isn't formulated for resin producing plants.

Your plant could also be rootbound. It looks like iut's in a really small pot. Transplant if root bound, and before you put into a new pot, take a butter knife and slice through all the roots. That cuts the bound roots and gives room for new root tips to develop.

Give us more info. on your feeding times for that plant and maybe we can help you out a little better.

fuk it im usin miracle grow! what is a good list of fertilizers? so i can look round and buy another one quick thx

Any other fert out there is better than MG. I mean, MG will work, but will not give the plant all the supplements it really needs to produce worthy smoke.

Just keep the numbers close to what the plant needs during the stage it's in.

For example, for vegging, I use Fish Emulsion (organic) that is 5-1-1, so just find numbers for the vegg stage that have a high N number (N-P-K)

For flowering, choose something like 10-15-10, or 15-30-15, something along those lines.

Just avoid MG, it does more damage than good.

ty i get rite on that

Thanks for responding folks, I will try and give you a few more details of what i am doing.
1) For a start this is a Northen Light plant (furthest i have managed to grow one )
2) It only goes like this when it is in cupboard
3) I am giving it 10 hours of light a day
4) I feed it at the begining of its light cycle with 5ml Bio-Grow 8.0-2.0-6.0 for normal growth and 5ml Bio-Grow 2.0-6.0-3.5 for flowering in a liter of warm water. Not long started the flowering one as it started to Bud. I was told by the place i got it that this was the best for the plants....going by the numbers Nochowderforyou gives ( For example, for vegging, I use Fish Emulsion (organic) that is 5-1-1, so just find numbers for the vegg stage that have a high N number (N-P-K)

For flowering, choose something like 10-15-10, or 15-30-15, something along those lines.) I have been told fibs lol.
I will try a larger pot and see if that helps out. I think opening the roots a bit may be the problem as i just transplanted it without disturbing the roots last time so they might be stuck in the old pot size. Thanks for the tips so far, any further advice with the info i have just given would be great. Cheers doods.

Well i have re potted my plant, Now it was not restricted to the pot size it was in, i did not free up the roots when i re potted (last twice ) and the root ball was restricting itself to the size of the first pot. I have freed up the roots and gave it a larger pot, hopefully it does not die now lol.
Just in case of death i have planted a new seed to grow beside it.
