........this thread is just gettin sad, and just remember, not everyone knows wtf their talking about, but ANYBODY can drop a commnet, make sure your not listening ot a 16 yr old on moms comp,lol GOOD LUCK
If the thread is getting sad its ONLY YOU thats made it a sad thread,from your 1st post in this thread you've been insulting to everybody you dissagre with,the other contributing members are trying to help the op with his problems,on the other side we have you,helping is a secondary issue with you,your main goal here isnt to help its to win,at all costs.

Before you get all but hurt calling other members children you should read what you type,you've thrown several hissy fit's,lashed out with name calling ect,not to mention that you've included internet speak terms such as lol & lmaf type things in just about every post,older men do not use such terms in their posting,young men who text constantly do.

So far every indicator points to you being a child who's maybe in their late 20's at best,fresh out on yer own & gonna show everybody what you know.

You should re read what you typed in your signature ,the wisdom written in your sig surely dont match up with your lashing out at all who oppose,your actions are what your judged on in life & so far you have acted like a child ( 25 is a child ) who's starving for validation & legitimacy.

sorry bout all the drama bro, ahha....but how much water did you flush with? and IMO if you flushed her good and cleand up the medium, you should prolly give her 2 tblsp bigbloom 1 tsp tigerbloom 1tsp grow big...or atleast i would, with my experience with fox farm...

I flushed the soil at twice the volum of soil,,,,,,meaning 3 gallon of dirt rinsed by 6 gallons of water......im gonna add the nutes as prescribed tomorrow next 'sun-up' so the soil has time to dry a bit cuz I do not want to risk root rot or suffecation from too much water

You'll be fine. And you aren't going to screw your plant with a light folliar feed. Do a search, people do it all the time. The main risk is in flower. Obviously, you do not want to spray chemicals on your buds or cause them to grow mold.

exactly why I want to try to avoid doing it....Im in my 4th week of flowering...Im just gonna see if a good flush and nutes will help out with out having to put my buds in danger of shit flavors lol

So the foilar feed did help bring back the green on the leaves I sprayed a bit, but i was very cautious to not get any on my buds....like insanely cautious to the point it took over an hour to do lol....the plants I did flush though dont look any different from the plants I didnt flush so I am thinking this situation might be the lack of proper nutrients for their size over time...meaning a slight under feeding over time which might be starving them slowly
 
Looks like a zinc deficiencie to me, flush growing medium to remove any salt build up causing lock outs and find some feed that has a high zinc content

FoxFarm is easy to under feed, i had a feelin you were just goin def due to under feed..., but since i am only lookin at pics, i like to tell everyone to flush first, and clean the soil, to be safe...glad its workin out for ya tho bro:mrgreen:

EDIT: i hope this also means ull continue using your tap water left out for 24 hrs, and save some $ on water...or atleast cut the tap water with bottled water to save a little $

Ok so I got the temps down to about 75, I flushed the soil and fed them full strength....the foilar feeding brought back some green but also killed some leaves in the process....the flushing and feeding brought a lot of color to some leaves but the slow death is continuing in others....I forgot to take pics but I will take some tomorrow and post them so you all can see the progression

about 2 tsp per gallon
I use a 2 gallon watering thing to water 3 plants at a time, which Im hoping is the right distribution

I had the same problem over the past several months since late April. Kept troubleshooting idea after idea. Ended up figuring out my problem. Dont go by everything you read online suggesting how what and when to feed.
The problem ended up being underfeeding at 900 ppms as suggested. Lost 2 girls due to this problem before correcting it. My veg gets between 1000 and 1300ppms using GH 3 part solution with only diamond nectar additive. Bloom gets 1500ppm. They are doing awesome. So depending on the strain, depending on the type of water you use(Ro or Hard), as well as differences in different hard water properties, and depending on what brand of nutrient solution as well as is it organic or non organic all will play a part in how much you need to feed.
And i might add also humidity plays a role also in nute strength intake also by how fast and easily the leaves can transpire the toxins. Higher humidity can cause lockout due to lack of ability to transpire. And also the intensity of the light will affect intake.
