So with the help of the RIU people, can assume that i had nute lock up. Well i wasnt ph'ing my water (dumb) because i didnt have a meter or Up and Down, but now i do, and have been flushing with 7.0 water for the past week. They arent getting any worse but not getting better at the same time. So im wondering if i should foilar feed then continue to half strength or keep flushing and start the food schedule over and start at 1/4-1/2 strength. What i dont get is, i got 3 plants and only 2 are doing this, 1 of them is perfactly fine and is starting to show reziny crystally buds. Wierd? Thanks for the opinions and sorry to be a thread hopper.

Nutes - fox farms grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom

If you flushed for a week you are good! And i have had plants that were the same strain that acted totaly different! So each plant is like a kid they like certain shit. I wouldn't foliar feed at all right now. Just give them time they will recover bro. I would keep feeding the one that is happy and give the other two ladies time to recover. It takes a little while for the plant to bounce back, and I believe if they were in veg they would bounce back quicker. I use FFOF soil on all my grows and I use the six FF nutes also. I start out at 1/4 and go from there. I haven't had any problems with nute lock or anything. As you already know start off slowly and move up from there.

My advice is just give the sick plants just water for another week and see what they look like then. It wont hurt them not to feed them for a week but it will hurt them if you feed them when they are pissed at you! ;) And I also wouldn't be foliar feeding when they are in flower. You are asking for big problems with mold if you keep doing that.

Here are some pics of the 2 that are struggling. The tall guy with the curled leaves is the worst one by far. But they both had several fan leaves die off already 5th week into flowering.

If she wasn't getting burnt your can keep her at what she was at. What I do and what is recomended on this site is start at 1/4 and increase untill I get a tiny bit of burn on the leaves or if I get to full strength I stop there. My NL that I grew liked 1/4 str NO more! But my Bubbleicious plants can take full strength. Don't be so worried about giveing them nutes! They can grow just fine without them if you have good soil. Nutes do give them a bost but they are not essential, and if you over nute your plants you can really fuck them up. It just takes paitence when you have a problem with your plants. they do look like they will bounce back though just give the ladies some time.

There is no "hopeing" FFOF is one of the best! People mix their own soil sometimes, but FFOF is awesome for beginers and experianced growers! GL on your plants bro, I am sure they will bounce back and be happy. ;)
