I had the exact same problem last year,neem cake meal sorted mine out,mix it in thoroughly give it a couple of days drying out and it completely got rid of them, cold temperatures helpful too

You're watering the top of the roots only. Guaranteed. Too little water too frequently.
one water bottle is not enough water i agree, he should water until he sees water coming out of the bottom and if its staying wet to long he should probaly check the roots as thier not absorbing enough water, maybe nutrient lock and water lock? all i know is one water bottle is not enough

Yeah I figured that was the problem. I have been learning on the watering reading alot and I just didn't want to overwater them and die. Weed is a complicated plant and next grow instead of 4 I'm gonna go with just 2 so I can take more notes and learn more hands on... But 10% run off is a good water right?

any run off is good run off honeslty, but if your feeding your plants you deffinantly want to check the ec and ph and ppm of the run off and make sure your not getting nute lock too, build up of salts can kill your plants, and also cause your symptoms, make sure to flush every 4 weeks if you feed heave and at least 2 times a grow if you feed light

Yes I flushed them yesterday and they perked up nice and tall and today I gave them very watered down nute water because when I flushed them it was all clear water coming out so I figured very very little nutes would be good. I used half recommended dose and then halfed that with more water so it wasn't gonna be powerful at all. Well I'm hoping so first grow I'll learn my mistakes from hands on and reading

I really appreciate all your guys good replys!!! The first guy just said they were gonna die off the bat from overwatering them and I definitely had a hard time believing that

Its not wind.

Its starving.

Either you havent fed her or all her roots are dead due to overwatering and cant take up nutrients.
I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time believing I overwatered her. They get a water bottle every other day or so when she's dry on top and till my first knuckle down she was dry today so maybe underwatering her will check tomorrow

I agree with porky. I'm having a hard time believing you left a fan blowing directly on them on high ?! Yellow stickies and a fan on the floor will help control fungus gnats but don't have the fan blowing directly on the plants again for better results, good luck!

It's a tower fan I left in there I had it on high and smoked a dubie and forgot just didn't think about it but I moved it yesterday cause it was causing rips. I agree with him to that could of been the cause underwatering but I couldn't have overwatered them.

Or I didn't mean it like that I do shit like that too (and probably more often than I'd like to admit) but would think that you would see it blowing the plant but see how it could have happened now, good luck!

My girls are 12 or so days into flowering and yellow leaves are already popping up??? Any ideas??
To me this looks like a plant with a few possible problems, like sitting with a damp root zone for too long due to over watering and they look like they had no nitrogen or way to little nitrogen during the first few weeks of flower,or you've given way too much of something and the PH is too low, I would also suggest let your medium dry out a bit first then take a run off test with pH 7 with low EC values,that way you'll know what the medium is PH wise,if everything is in range pH wise and your ec values ok you know you possibly under fed nitrogen and over watering, a good thing for a newbie is to feed 500-750ml from the bottom up and then 700ml-1ltr if you using 11ltre 2 gallon pots for eg in from the top every time the pot gets light,its i good practice for not over watering and knowing for definitely the root zone is getting nutrition instantly 100% every time you water and feed,good luck

if the user cant provide information on what growing medium ph, ppm, nutriments used and how often plant is fed it nutrients, lights hanging height, room temps humidity, leaves ect
its impossible to know what they are doing wrong
probably isn't using ph or ppm and could be growing in mud for all we know unless i miss that information
good luck with them stabs in the dark. i hope attempting random things don't contribute to killing them plants

Running a pH test won't contribute to killing a plant what so ever,so that's a bit dramatic,but I don't think any testing advice would make them any worse and what they are now, and the guy asked for help so I give him a few tips

i gave my tip provide real information in a list so people know what he is using
 
I have a hps light about 8 inchs+ on other plants 1000w king double chip led about a little close at 5-6inchs above and outta way of blocking hps light. The only nutrients I used was very little alaskian fish nutes which is 5-1-1 and big bloom on day 14 at 1/3 power. Temps in my room vary from 60 being lowest at night and 81 tops during the day I keep the humidity at 40%. The growing medium is just all organic and I feed them nute water once every week sometimes every 2 weeks instead depends on how they look. I'm just a noob trying to get help it doesn't make it easy for us when people are so hard on other people. I haven't posted because I didn't get my notifications for some reason but they are all doing good now . Buds are gorgeous looking

My buds I honestly don't know exact days but I think I'm 17 days in and this is what they look like
Glad to hear, and I agree with the other guy your at least 3-4 week's away, judging by the pic,if you are really worried about overwatering next time add more perlite to your soil mix, just until you get to know your watering regime sussed, adding More perlite will make the root zone a bit happier if too much water is added.
