Alright thanks guys, both switches are on! Let’s see how it goes, I am running 20-4 should I keep that or change that to something else?

The droops look like overwatering to me, is at least the top inch completely dry before you water? Also may wanna look into starting with smaller containers and transplant to bigger pots are having a big grip of roots, makes watering the right amount and avoiding nutrient build up as well.

switch back to 18-6.. the second set of pics look like their coming around for the better so I dont want to mess you up to much but if your humidity is sitting at 80 all the time that is way to high. High humidity can cause pm issues. high humidity isn't letting your plants drink as much as it could from the pots letting your roots sit in the wet for to long and could cause root rot. What ppm are you feeding at it doesnt matter to much in dirt but if its to salty then I think that will kill off your microbes.

What i would do is flush the pots out with clean water renute at about 600-800 ppms total add your great white or microbes for sure. i would add microbes every other watering really, not to much but enough to know you have microbes working for you.

I thought mammoth p was a flower microbe product, myself I wouldn't use mammoth p till the third week of flower to the week before flush or two weeks before cut.

Mammoth P is supposed to be a P specific bacteria.

I actually just recvd a couple sample bottles of Mammoth P. Added my first dose yesterday so I'm interested in seeing how the results are. Not only doed is it help with phosphorus uptake. But with microbes as well. Helping your plant uptake even more of the food and nutrients we provide them.

It's a single species of bacteria that is supposed to help with making potassium available.

I bought a dehumidifier and now it is staying around 40-60

I am trying to shoot for 50-60 mark just have to time it right for right amount of time so lets see

The pictures above were yesterday and these picture are from today?

The lights are switched to 18-6

Both switches are on so red light is on tooo with the blue ones,

Did a foliar spray with distilled water with few drops of foliar essense in it,

And gave them some plain distilled water with nothing in it.

I have mammoth p, great white, photosynthesis plus, that I can use if you recommend,

Or if there is anything else you recommend I can get it to clean them out so I don’t have to flush them.

Your pots are too big.

Basically they aren’t drying out fast enough, now you’ve fed them they’ll need again a long time to dry out.

It’ll sort itself out just don’t transplant until you see any underwatering stress 2-3 days after watering her.

Don’t be harsh on yourself. Growing MJ I found is basically a learning curve. Learn what you did wrong and don’t repeat it :)

P.S Less is more ;)

Dark green leaves with claw on leaves is a nitrogen toxicity

So should I try to put them in a smaller pot?

And what Can I do for nitrogen toxicity?

it looks like chronic overwatering to me, which may be causing some root issues.
you may already have the beginnings of root rot. you can either get something like hydroguard, and protect your roots that way, or you can use hydrogen peroxide in your water to kill anything that might be growing in your pots.
let them dry out till they are alarmingly light, before you water again. you don't want to actually let them start wilting, but close to it. that will help your roots, which look like they're probably pretty stunted right now. once they start growing good again, the pots will dry out faster, and you can water more often.

If you see light bleaching and unhealthy discoloration only on the parts of the plant directly under your grow light, or only on older leaves that are exposed to the light, it often means it's too bright for your plants and you should move your grow lights further away! If your plant is also having other problems, it is much more likely to be affected by light burn. A healthy plant can withstand higher light levels than a sick plant.

If the lights are only slightly too close, maybe just an inch or a few cm, the yellowing from light burn may happen slowly over the course of days (or even weeks!) because leaves are dying early instead of immediately. Because of that, light burn may first appear on somewhat older leaves, which can be confusing and make it hard to diagnose.



This cannabis seedling is being burned by too-close LED grow lights



These leaves of this LED-burnt plant started curling upwards



This cannabis seedling basically grew up into the grow light! The heat from the bulb caused massive burning everywhere it touched. If a plant's leaves directly touches the lights, it leaves "burns" from the heat of the bulbs.



This plant was green and healthy through the vegetative stage under an LED grow light, but the leaves started dying soon after flowering started (even though that distance had been fine in the vegetative stage). The reason was the LED was too close. This is also very common with LED grow lights with just read and blue diodes, without any diodes in the green spectrum.



These plants seem apparently healthy, but the top leaves keep getting lighter and lighter, in this case from a 600W HPS that was kept just under a foot (30cm) away. The leaves slowly turned yellow over the course of a few weeks, getting light burn even though the temperature was a comfortable 75°F (24°C).



These yellow leaves were caused by an LED grow light that was too close. If you don't realize it's light burn, the symptoms are inexplicable!



A mild case of marijuana light burn is often mistaken for a nutrient deficiency or a pH problem, but if you look closely, the symptoms are concentrated directly under the grow light.




Light Bleached Cannabis Buds Sometimes Turn White

This is how you get "albino" or white buds. Light bleaching is most common with high-power LEDs and HPS grow lights because these can be brighter than the sun. Basically, bud bleaching is what happens when buds get too much light, kinda like how hair can get bleached if you spend plenty of time in the sun. Except a "sun-burnt" bud is often less potent, and may have lost it's "cannabis" smell!

In the first group of pictures it looks like burnt tips or the plant drying out kinda ,but in the second pic leaves look fat and full of water ,so u might have a little light burn or bud rot also overwatering on some when I had small plants in big container I would water around the stem only than when I noticed they were drinking it all in a day I made my circle bigger until eventually the whole pot was watered
