I am having some problems with a few of my outdoor plants at the moment. The leaves are yellowing and dying off at a pretty fast rate. About two weeks ago I realized the water I was giving them out of the tap had very high ph so I started watering with r/o water and saw a difference within a couple days. Now they seem to be dying again. The strain is gdp and I am using happy frog soil with advanced nutrients bloom grow and micro. I've been giving them about half the recommended amount of nutrients. My runoff is now at around 6.5 ph. Any 20140521_101521.jpg 20140521_101506.jpg 20140521_101443.jpg 20140521_101429.jpg advice is greatly appreciated.

May be some Burning , a little more water may help and removing those leaves won't harm the plant any so you can do that to. Over all the plant looks nice, how old is it from seed if you know and what strain is it

Yea to me they look healthy but she looks a little nutrient burnt...Just remember more isn't always better when it comes to feeding and keep it simple as its always better to under feed than to over feed...

Hey what Strain is that? Looks similar to GDP

Yea it's GDP. When the leaves started looking like this I stopped giving them nutrients all together. Now it's been about a week and a half and I gave half strength seems like it made it even worse. I don't know how to fix it. I always have this problem with this same strain been cloning it for about a year and a half now. My last plants I harvested looked horrible all the leaves were dead but the bud came out pretty good.

You should give her a good flush. Whatever size pot she is in, use three times that amount in ph'd water. When she dries out a bit start nutes at 1/4 strength

pot up to 20 gallon totes, imo. you have a ways to go, and by the thickness of those stems, I'd say the root zone is already inadequate. see if you can gently pop them out of the pot to inspect root-ball.

No I really haven't thought about foliar feeding. I'm pretty new at this learning as I go.

What do you mean the root zone is inadequate? Do you mean you think I need to transplant to something larger or that the pot is too big. It's a 5 gallon pot and the roots are around the outside not bad but they are there.

Flush just once. And every now and then to rid the soil of excess salt/nutrient buildup. I have grown way bigger plants in 5 gallon pots. Your plants are good in them for a bit longer. I would still go at LEAST 10 gallons though. If possible. Foliar feeding helps by giving plants nutrients at a faster rate. Which helps a lot during a lockout or deficiency.

I would personally wait on the flushing and let the pot dry out completely. Than for the next 3 or so waterings use plain water and water to runoff this will help slowly wash away the excess salts in the soil..I think flushing right now will just do more damage. Now if you see your plant getting much worse even after not feeding and using plain water than I would go to the last resort and flush...

I think neoangelo is correct, it may be that there's too much moisture.....you can buy a good moisture tester for peanuts....you will be surprised at how much is down in the pot...
The rest of the plant looks great...
