AND BOIL YOUR WATER!

Tap water is not that good for plants, Chlorine and such.... Plants like Tomatoes have adapted to the Chlorine, Not Marie-Jane.
Takes 5 Min, and its worth it =)

Nute burn and lockout. flush! (youve done this already so pat yourself on the back)

Id foliar feed until you got your soil conditions where the roots are happy. I do not recommend this in flower unless the plants are on a serious downhill slide. As always use caution if you choose to go this route. Best of luck to you and your girls!

Basically your burning the shit out of them with your Miracle grow soil and you don't have enough light to create enough growth to use the soil. You want to transplant them and shake as much of that soil off the root as you can and then run lots of water through it to cleanse the chemicals out of it, after that just water and leave them alone for a while so they can repair and without being made toxic.
Get a soil with nothing in it just plain soil and transplant them into that. After that you need at least 1x42w cfl bulb per plant or 2x26w CFL and you can keep using the sunlight in addition. Wait until you get decent fresh growth when they begin to flower use molasses 1 tbsp dissolved per gallon and feed theis every three feedings during flower. Make sure you keep a light breeze circulating through with your fan.

UPDATE: did as u suggested, put dirty rootball of both plants into bucket filled with room temp water. Then gently but thoroughly washed root ball. It went better then I expected it too so that was good. Mixed my Plain soil with plenty of pearlite and transplnated cleaned plants into 3.65 gal buckets filled woth the new Plain soil. The girls didn't seem to mind much at all surprisingly :). The whole process was an ungodly mess though, mud and stuff. going to get lights later but I added a few additional Florescents to the op.

^That pot is plenty big enough, unless you plan on growing some really big plants(4'+). Any bigger, is a waste of soil and space. :)


Good to hear that they are doing okay, that's cool. :cool:

looks great. Make sure to use at least 42w CFL minimum per plant. The light will directly effect your yeild, more light = more Nugs. i.e. i used 3x42w CFL's for my first closet grow as well as natural at sunlight and got 1 oz from two plants both Indica. I used a 400w hps and got 2 oz off 1 plant. Just to give you and idea of the light and it's effect. You may want to let those guys veg for a while and continue to repair and keep your fan going so they bush up and get healthy. Then put them back in to flower. You did a great job bringing them back. Good luck and happy smokin' :clap:

Right On buddy, Looks great!
Keep us posted in the next few coming days so we can see how she's doing with the change and so on.
Little Tip, with the 2 plants, Try and get 50$ together and get 4 CFL's ... they take up no power really (Wont notice any change on a hydro bill)
Also, Did you add any rock/ pebble drainage in the bottom?

:leaf:

THIS IS A PH PROBLEM! Your PH is more than likely too low before going into the soil, this will lock up all nutrients, causing this to happen. The only way to save your plants, is to flush with PH corrected water (6.2 - 6.9) and then slowly reintroduce nutes. For now instead of nutes, get grandmas molasses from your local walmart. 1-2 Tablespoons per gallon. MAKE SURE WATER IS PH ADJUSTED STILL!!! This will help them fatten up, without locking up the nutrients.

I had this exact same problem before.

OH and BTW when my plants had this problem, it extended the flowering time by 1.5 months, no joke. The plants stopped growing until I fixed the problem, then they started budding again. Some of the buds on the plants got crispy. It gets bad, hurry and fix this.

I'm kinda sad now, I'm starting to see all this trichomy goodness on the leaves and buds but I already set back to reveg. I can reflower and still get bud rite, or will I have stressed them out to much with the change in light schedule?

ps they needed to be reveged as u can tell from the photos in this thread. They would have died at the rate they were going.
