Its either a phosphorous or a potassium deficency. What is the NPK of your nutes. The recomended NPK for flower is 10-30-20. If the stems and leaf bottoms are red its probably a Phosphorous deficency. Check out the FAQs to see whats up!

That usually happens in the low light levels of bottom leaves. The plant starts pulling from them because they aren't able to produce. Leaves will come and go. It's the nugs you need to be worried about now, especially with the short flowering WR. It could be a deficiency but nothing you need to worry about.
Don't transplant when flowering. Fresh soil is going to be loaded with nitrogen, and that'll stretch out your buds and set you back a few weeks.

I dont think the pot size is a issue. Ive grown pretty big plants in 3 gal pots. I have a feeling its a phospho problem. Make sure to adjust your ph to 5.2-5.8 for hydro or 6.0-6.8 for soil and water with a complete fertilizer. Try something close to 10-30-20 if you can.

As long as you can keep them watered, pot-bound roots are nothing to worry about. I don't even consider transplanting unless I have to water every day.

Leaves are burnt. The pic with the spots look like it could be mites. You'd need a powerful looking-glass to catch them early, otherwise you'd be looking for spider webs, and by that time you can see them crawling all over. The splotches look like they could be powdery mildew, but the red tint to the pics makes it all hard to distinguish.
Pyrethrin bombs would take care of any pests. You'd have to do it at least twice for mites, 6 days apart. Something like neem oil is a good preventative, so you should be spraying them down every couple weeks minimum.

i was confused about that the leaevs as u said look to me as they have mites and the other set like its mildew but i heard that mites can attack my plants when the conditions are too dry low humidity and for the mildew when its too high,my humidity's 40%-46% i thought that was good,also yesterday i found out that the ph of my solution got to 7.8 it use to be stable before once i adjust it now i was adding molasses so i quess thats the reson for the rise,could that couse those spots and i did inspect the plant with a mag.glass but didnt find anything no webs,whats the best way i can cech if i have mites or mildew couse i have about 20 plants these so i can isolate the few before it spreads

just found these /Ingredients:
3 hot green peppers (canned or fresh)
2 or 3 cloves garlic
3/4 tsp liquid soap
3 cups water
Puree the peppers and garlic cloves in a blender. Pour into a spray bottle and add the liquid soap and water. Let stand 24 hours. Strain out pulp and spray onto infested plants, making sure to coat both tops and bottoms of leaves.,
If you find Spider Mites you must act fast and hit them hard with either a bleach solution (1 tablespoon of bleach to 1 gallon of 95°F, pH balanced, water in a spray bottle.) or use a miticide with Abamectin or lindane in it. That seems to work best
can i use any of htese before i get the neem oil,if i get it

As long as you can keep them watered, pot-bound roots are nothing to worry about. I don't even consider transplanting unless I have to water every day.
I would not recommend repotting while in flower unless it was absolutely necessary but having root-bounds plants is not something to not be concerned about.
The following symptoms may be observed if you allow your plants to become root-bound:
- Stunted Growth.
- Stretching.
- Smaller and slower bud production.
- Needs watering too often.
- Easy to burn with low % nutrient solution mixtures.
- Wilting
Think ahead, plan ahead, use as large size pots as you possibly can, well that is within certain limits. It is not like you need a 50-gallon pot or anything. But remember the root structure will be pretty close to the same size as your above soil or growing medium size so if you look at your plants and say if I tried to cram all that into my pot it would be really hard or impossible then your pot size is way to small.
What you shoot for is a pot size where when your plants reach their full size the roots are using the entire pot but are not circling the pot and are not all wrapped around and through each other. Anything larger than the roots will ever use is wasted space and wasted soil and wasted nutes and wasted water. Anything less that that size causes root-bound conditions and the list of problems above can likely occur, or at least some of them.

Shit dude, I never heard of anyone spraying bleach onto their plants; that just seems fucked. You've already got the neem coming so just hold off until you know for sure or you get the neem. Anything you spray is likely to cause more burn to an already diseased plant.
I've never had to worry about mildew, but high pH makes it go away. I see a lot of cats spray with milk (diluted?) or a high pH water. I would start off with distilled or reverse osmosis and add pH+ to that.
In which country do you live? You've got the internet so it can't be that bad. You should be able to get anything you need with a credit card. In which country do you live?

I'm 97% sure it's just nute burn. Did this all start happening at the same time?
