When you noticed the yellowing, did it progress from leaf tip to the back or vice-versa? As to adding epsom salts, be aware that it will lower soil pH some, but if you have lime in your soil, it should buffer it out.Cool. Thanks man, I couldn't figure out if this was a nitrogen diff or a sulphur diff. I was kinda leaning towards a nitrogen diff because of the leaves turning yellow from the bottom up instead of the new growth turning yellow. Now back to my original question, if its a nitro diff then i need to add nitrogen. I under stand that. If its a sulphur diff then I can add a tablespoon of epsom salt. If its not a sulphur diff will it hurt the plant to add the tablespoon of salt anyway just to be sure.

No it did not start at the leave tips it was vice versa that's kinda why I thought it was a sulphur diff, but as you can see in the pics the SC and the Kushage are looking a lot better at the top half of the plant but the WR is still having a VERY light green new growth.

OK so it has been exactly 10 days since I watered these plants. The top of the pot (obviously) is very dry, but the pot is still very heavy. Meaning there is still very wet soil in the bottom (obviously). So what do I do. Wait until it completely dries???????Water it with nitrogen?????????Confusedddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!

10 days? Do you have drainage in the pots?OK so it has been exactly 10 days since I watered these plants. The top of the pot (obviously) is very dry, but the pot is still very heavy.

You will almost never see trace deficiencies unless they are caused by an overage...most municipal/rain/well/spring/drinking waters have the trace minerals in them, and most nutrients do too...MG definitely does...so you will never ever see a sulphur deficiency...you will see a nitrogen deficiency though---maybe...but not yet...even the older plants have curling and burnt tips..so for real you should let the pots get feather light before you water them next time, and if at all take the totally dry pot and allow it to sit in water and soak up as much as it can...then allow it to totally dry before the next time you water, but water from the top if you want or whatever..just make sure the soil gets totally saturated and then gets totally dry...

I put about 7 or 8 3/8 sized holes in the bottom of these buckets but I guess that was enough. I will just hang out and wait for the drying to happen. Thanks missnu, surgedup and brotherjericho I really appreciate your help. I will diffenatly add some holes to the sides. I really didnt think of doing that.......

Oddly enough the buckets are starting to get pretty light (drying out) and at the same time the new growth on the plants looks very healthy. I guess I pulled an idiot mistake and overwatered. Thanks everyone!!!
