No I mean over watering, I had the same look a few weeks ago I let them dry out for then normal and they perked right up. Where it's not the whole plant could just mean a part of the root got more water then the others. I could be wrong though.

Those are small plants in really big buckets. Make sure you're letting the entire bucket dry out before you water. You need to force those roots to spread out and look for moisture. If you're watering every 2-3 days that's too much. Let that whole bucket DRY OUT until you can easily pick it up with 2 fingers. If you keep watering it every 2-3 days you're going to have big problems. Root Rot problems. Whenever you have a small plant in a big pot, you really have to let the medium dry tf out. They look good bro, don't stress too much. Water less.

Let the pots dry out. Water them a little bit to get the soil moist, wait an hour or so and then hot them again until you have water coming out of the bottom of the pot. If you let a pot dry out and then water it, you will immediately have water running out the bottom of the pot, which is misleading because the dirt is like a dry sponge and just isn't absorbing anything yet. Always presoak your pots before waterings and feedings. Especially if they're really dry.

These where the ones that bounced back I feed them 1/4 of a cup twice a day in a spray bottle really because I have no Life. But they seem to love it and the gg4 clone perked up aswell

Advanced is good stuff, but they're dosage reccomendations are way too high. Especially in a soil grow. If I'm not mistaken, the Advanced line that you're using has mixing instructions that are specifically designed for hydroponic systems. Personally, I'd be feeding at 1/4 strength for plants the size of yours, and if you're feeding once a week you'll probably never need to feed more than 1/2 strength. That stuff is super highly concentrated bro. On top of that, I'd add some Humic acid, enzymes, orca, and definitely a Silica product on top of what you're using.

Does it refuse your yield if you over do it with nutrients

Hey, I've been at it for 9 years and I'm still learning! I think one of the funnest parts of growing is finding additives that you can add to any nutrient line. There's a lot of great stuff out there! Silica is a must. It really makes your plants stronger, tougher, more resilient. It's like body armor. Orca is a mychorrizae product (beneficial bacteria) that link on to the plants roots and work constantly helping it get the nutrients it needs. humic acid is a group of molecules (made of ancient liquified dinosaur bones and shit) that bind to, and help plant roots receive, water and nutrients. Most growers add a CalMag supplement to their nutrients too, because Calcium, Magnesium are really common deficiencies and a lot of nutrient lines don't have enough. And hey, don't even get me started on foliar feeding and sprays. I'll tell you one thing bro, hit your girls with Neem oil once a week all throughout Veg and you'll avoid bugs and powder mold. It adds a protective layer to your leaves and makes them look real nice and shiny too. Just make sure when you spray the grow lights aren't on. Have fun broski!!
