Awesome, you're definitely right I've been giving heavy feeds instead of small frequent feeds.ok had a quick gander. I think that it's one of 2 things. 1st I'd say the ph, it looks like a coco plant that has been fed nutes, but at the wrong ph.
2nd up I'd have to say that you have overwatered her and locked out magnesium, which in turn has caused nitrogen to get locked out.
I would flush with Epsom salts as that is good for balancing ph, also greening up plants. Then put her on a strict diet where you feed her less, maybe half a litre. Just for a few feeds.
Do your plants a favour and buy them each a Trivet
Running smart pots on the floor is increasing the chances of overwater and root rot by loads. Also warm air blowing under the pots will help them dry faster + help the end of the roots at the bottom of the pot die.
Imagine the whole root system is dehydrated, then you just water the left hand side. The roots on the right get no water, that doesn't matter, the plants shares it round. Look at it in the same way when you feed. Maybe just spread the water round, almost starve them sometimes. Keep it fresh. Sometimes the weather is good, sometimes it isn't. When they get a full soaking, it's the same as torrential rain for 24-48 hours. Sometimes just a small amount of rain is all they need. Vary it. 1 in 3 do a full soaking. Other 2, make the roots work for it.
In flowering now I feed 1 litre - per 25 litre pot. So hardly anything. I think they grow faster with small feeds, but still do 1 in 3 soakings to wash out any salts etc. Keep it fresh and all that...
I didn't know the word for it was trivet that's genius. Good tips man im going to hunt some down.
She's looking better today I'll feed her Epsom but small.
Thanks man sometimes I get stuck in a "scheduled" feeding regiment.
