2 of my plants are looking horrible!

[smokermore]

Hello everyone. I have eight red desiels all from the same mother, all in same soil, using same nutes, and 2 of them look horrible but the rest seem to be fine.

I noticed the leaves started to curle up inward and i believe there were alot of dark spots. they looked prettydead but when i felt them they werent dried. its strated 2 or 3 days ago, and now the leaves top leaves pretty much dried up. The fan leaves up at the top seem to be spotted pretty bad too.

I also noticed the bottom half of the plant seems to be ok.

All 8 of them are in roots organic soil and ive been giving them half stregnth fox farm nutes for the past few weeks now. All of them were beggining to turn a light green color after i transplanted them in there final pots, so i began to give them half strength nutes knowing there was plenty in the soil but they seemed to be wanting something.

so thats pretty much all i can think of. Can someone please please please!!!!!!! help me . thanks xD

humm.. when was the last time you flushed the soil? it kinda looks likke nute burn/lock

 

[smokermore]

the last time i flushed it was when i transplanted it over a month ago.

you may have nute build up i'd flush it and then start with a low dose and work your way up again.. sometimes if you don't flush at least once a month or even twice.. it can build up and lock out

also how hot is it in there?

that plant looks burnt by being too close to light.

 

[smokermore]

temps been about 75 degrees with lights on, upper 60's at night.
I wonder why 2 of them could have nute lock when there all the same clones being fed the same stuff.

that plant looks burnt by being too close to light.

i cant imagine that beingthe prob cause the 2 plants that look like that arent even the ones closest to the light, and there all the same strain. Is that even posswible that one plant can be burt from light but the others not?

 

[smokermore]

my kitchen is just about sanitized and im gonna start flushing all 8 of them pretty soon. Any more advice what i should do after?????

You have yourself an odd looking problem. Not your run of the mill issue.

This leads me to think it is something not normally addressed or a conglomeration of Limony Snickets (Unfortunate Events). Immediately I question the quality of your water and if you are allowing it to off gas. Could be all that Hexavalent Chromium in your tap

My suggestion is to go back to basics and examine all the facets of the room.
Calibrate the pH meter.
Check your air circulation and for temperature hot spots.
Flush the soil.
Protect against thrips, nematodes, white fly, fungus gnat, mites, etc...

Then I'd rebuild the media with all good stuff. Focus on beneficial microbial life and feeding them a moderate balance of nutrition, preferably an organic tea.

The damaged leaves are likely to die off quickly.

My first thought is the soil. I cant tell what size containers your in and I understand that you used all Roots but is it possible that these two were from the same bag of Roots soil and the others were from different bags? I am very familiar with their soil as well as their whole line. I used it myself for quite awhile but they have quality control problems sometimes.. (as many small shops do) and they have been known to put out very hot soil in the past. I would transplant those two plants and not give it any nutes for a week. If you live where Roots Organics is (eugene) then you should check out Oregon Constant Gardners #1 soil. I switched to it an never looked back. Good luck!
