Pictures?

What nutrients are you currently using, and in what amount? How often are you providing them?

What are you feeding them? I think it makes a lot more sense to just top dress with organic amendments for plants that are in the ground.

sorry i had to wait fpr a camerea, so those are the nutrients i use and i mix one tsp per gallon of water, and i use the solution whenever they are in need of water. the only reason i use nutrients was because i was getting deficiencies, so i used them to fix the problem. there was a couple days my ph was far off and i think thats when this started happening. i tried to flush the area as best as possible with ph'd water. but now what? do you think shell make it??

They look well fed but not locked out. Just ease up on the nutes. Im also pretty sure you should be giving the mostly flora micro right now but not positive on that, there are others who actually use GH products that will be able to advise better.

You are feeding way too much, IMO. You are feeding the max dose they recommend and feeding with every watering is making that even worse. I've had lockout in plants from feeding bottled nutrients at full dose only once a week (with 1-2 waterings in between).

next time dig way bigger holes the roots don't have far to go before hitting compacted soil
get some good soil like a promix sunshine mix etc
they look fine, its not lock out, slightly heavy with the nitrogen giving you the claw.
ease off the nutes.
dont try and flush she is fine.

Feed straight water for a bit.

the holes were about a foot and a half to three feet depending on the rocks and such. what do you recomend for the hole size? And i bought a load of organic premixed soil at a local farm, it seems to be fairly good. but i am a newbie so i could be way wrong lol. thank you for the tips! If a plant isnt showing any signs of its sex does that mean its a male? ive heard that before. all my plants are showing girl except one strain. its odd

Males have always shown their sex earlier than females every time I've had them. The holdouts are usually females.

the only reason i even bought these nutes was because i was having defficiencies that i had to correct, and i was told to keep doing it for a couple weeks even after they looked better. will it harm them if i stop nuting entirally right now?

This is my experience over the years as well. Rarely for me has a female shown before a male. Also, I've noted that for the most part, a male plant will stretch quite a bit more (ie. grow taller) than a counterpart female of the same genetics after a couple of weeks in veg.

Wouldn't count that as gospel though, but it is something that occurs more often than not in my grow environments.

thats where im getting confused in my garden. all of my golden nug strain are female, and all of the afghan i have either arnt showing or have these things that look like it could be a male, but still highly questionable. i cant show pics until tonight around 430
