thanks for the advice i appreciate it. the weather has been very cold theyre up in maine. my buddy has been watering everyday with nutriants and the ppms and the ph are all correct the water temp itself has probably been very cold and may have frozen over night. do you think that could cause those issues ?Shit. Hard to tell. Hopefully not broad mites! I would hit them with Spinosad or Neem just to make sure it's not a bug problem. Can't hurt. Just don't spray during the day. Pluck all of those dead leaves off before hand. They're not doing any good. If it's not bugs it looks like a plant that dried out and almost died, then got rewatered but took some damage in the process.
The plant has gone through some type of major stress. Those leaves are definitely dead. Super cold temperatures can definitely kill your plants, I wouldn't rule it out! If you can feed them with room temperature water I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Also, if you put a mulch layer (I love rice straw) down it will really help the root system retain heat overnight. As much as you can stuff in there go for it! You could cut a black trash bag to fit over the topsoil too to help retain some heat at night, and moisture during the day. But I think it ice straw is your best bet. It will absolutely help the pots retain moisture and warmth.thanks for the advice i appreciate it. the weather has been very cold theyre up in maine. my buddy has been watering everyday with nutriants and the ppms and the ph are all correct the water temp itself has probably been very cold and may have frozen over night. do you think that could cause those issues ?

Are they drying out every day? Seems strange that they'd be needing water every day with such cold temperatures. And feeding once a week is plenty, I wouldn't have him feed every day. That's extreme overkill
You shouldn't be watering every day, unless you're in some sort of crazy hot climate where the pots are going bone dry every day. And definitely shouldn't be feeding every day! Ever! Once a week is plenty in most circumstances.thanks for the advice i appreciate it. the weather has been very cold theyre up in maine. my buddy has been watering everyday with nutriants and the ppms and the ph are all correct the water temp itself has probably been very cold and may have frozen over night. do you think that could cause those issues ?
What size pots are those? 100? How much is your friend watering per day? and what exactly is he feeding them? Soil mix?plants were looking great and out of no where started looking like this what could it be ?
