Could I get some assistance on identifying the deficiency in both my plants.

[SkEE87]

Hey guys, I need help identifying what the problem could be with these two plants.
The two plants were originally outside during the summer but they werent growing too well, i brought them inside.
The soil used for these plants was old soil,likely many nutrients went through the dirt. I flushed it with water throughout the day many many times&then some more.. Then i gave the soil the nutrients for my grow b4 transplanting(both same soil,had it wrapped up entire time).After transplanting, i have given it MaxiGro,every other day or 2days 1 tsp per gallon.
They were in a smaller container and the roots were really compacted b4 transplanting.
Plant had growth problems entire time. They were outside bc they were cut offs from other plants growing inside&i didnt have room. I put them outside to keep them alive hoping they rebound when i brought them inside.
They were spare plants that didnt get the proper attention early on its growth period.
Every time i water, I make sure to slowly water the center area as I know a lot of roots were compacted there previously.I water until there is a runoff&then i drain the holder.

They look like they got hot or too dry or are too dry currently and sounds like your soil has problems that aren’t really reconcilable as you don’t really know what was all in it and currently in it. It may not be a deficiency but more a excess that led to lockout of something.

Unless it's a really rare strain I think I'd start some fresh seeds in a new and known soil. I know you have done a lot of work to keep them going but it looks like something seriously wrong in the root zone and I'm thinking it's just not worth trying to fix as old as they are already. You can try to take some clones from the best branches you have and then run those in some good soil if you really like the strain.
As hard as it is to do, sometimes starting fresh is the best call. Hope you get it sorted.

ya I feel like i shouldnt waste any more time with my light space and just start fresh as frustrating as that is. Im going to search for answers this week&if i dont find one,im starting fresh.

I've been there before and it's no fun but try to learn from it and come back strong with the next run.
I like to use a small skewer like the diameter of a chop stick or smaller and push that down through the root ball to the bottom of the pot and wiggle it around. It helps to loosen the media and provide better oxygen to the roots. The user HotrodHarley showed me how to do it awhile ago and it really seems to help with healthier roots for me. Especially for pots that get too small for the plant.

The claw is caused from two things normally.. one is to much nitrogen ( probably not the case here) and the second is caused from to much humidity or lack of trasperation .. it also looks like you have a pest problem.. afew of you leaves look like they have mite damage..

Have you looked closely for bugs?

if you want to aerate soil a very dilute h2o2 solution also helps a lot. it fluffs the medium instantenously and provides additional oxygen. just a very dilute solution tho because too much and your medium will bubble and flow over.

I use a 1:4 ration of peroxide to help keep fungus gnats down and to help with roots getting an extra shot of oxygen. It's a great tip though, thanks. The top inch of this soil fluffed up like chocolate mousse after getting a peroxide soak. This mother plant of MB15 was in it's small pot too long and the roots were tight like concrete. I did the peroxide soak after I poked a bunch of holes in it with a BBQ skewer and it was much happier until I could get it replanted.
