Help please!! tell me whats wrong with my babies!!

My girls started showing a bit of yellowing on the lower fan leaves and the stems started to show some purpelish red spots. i assumed it was mag deficiency or nitrogen def. so I treated both. I flushed them and gave them a mag and nitrogen dose. now 3 days later they still show symptoms and the yellowing is still moving up and the new growth seems verylight green. theyve already lost a few leaves. theyre in the 2nd week of flower, on Coco/Bio grow mix, I use a seaweed based fertilizer. i didnt nute until right before switching to 12/12 absolutely no problem before that. i hope someone can help me.

Why are you flushing when its low on fertilizer? Nitrogen is the base of all grow side nutrient lineups, and when the plant is low in it theplant turns pale green or yellow ;) so when you flushed you washed out all the fertilizer that was in the grow medium. So thats why it hasnt recovered. Also you said your using seaweed based nutes. I thought my seaweed was all K and no N. Yours might be different though... I would say start feeding that thing some real nutrients like some synthetic trusted brand like botanicare, canna, or AN. Something thats going to get food to the plant now unlike organic food. Id pick up some liquid calmag supplement too so you dont end up back on here in two months ;)

thanks i use an algae bloom fertilizer i says on the label that it has nitrogen but would you suggest I add something higher in nitrogen but my plants are already flowering would this affect their flowering process?? thnks IMG_20151103_101700.jpgIMG_20151103_102853.jpg

Burnt tips and edges= nute burn. Flush then re pot and try to use flowering nutes at this stage not an all round fert that your using. Causes could be at this stage after all the feeding and letting the pots dry too much leads to salt/nute burn.

Damn I cant repot them. I just dont have the space. Id been giving them nutes regylarly so I thought a def would be unlikely but at fitrst the signs on the leaves looked like it so I treated for cal/mag def. You think I can keep them in the same pots and flush them? And should I nute them right after or should I wait a few days before feeding them? I do only use my bloom fert after I switch to flower, not before. I attached a pic of the nutes with description, would you say that is a good one? Thank for the help

It could be that the ph of the soil is way outta whack and that's why the plant can't get fed up:)

Use the same pot(s) and transplant.

Do I still need high Nitrogen during flower? Bc I don't nute during veg.
You should have. They got burnt but appear to be trying to come back. Use veg nutes from about week 3 of veg until about your 3 rd week in flower. Even then they can use a bit of N if they start to show a deficit.

Your plant is so malnourished the leaves are starting to die. The food youre using is the wrong stuff. When the plants go pale green or yellow you need more nitrogen, when they are dark green and the leaves claw you have too much. You want something that looks emerald. I sont usually say this but i think that plants pretty much toast. Youll start feeding it hopefully and the buds will start coming in with green sugar leaves on them hopefully but all the leaves i see are most likely not going to recover well. You have soil mixed with soiless and the soiless medium needs to be fed every watering, the potting soil needs to be fed every second or third watering, so whatever mix you have of soil to soiless needs to be averaged into your feeding schedule....with full synthetic! Get rid of that alge crap organic with coco. Organic foods need to be broken down by the plant before the plant can consume it. Synthetic nitrients go in and into the plant because they're availible immediately. And while your buying some new nutrients grab a bottle of calmag and read up on how much of those two elements the plant consumes.

Holy fuck did you just say that!? Thats why the plants are dying! You didnt feed them and they told you to go fuck yourself :lol: ok well ya, like i just said, your plants are starving to death. Read up on how to feed a soiless meduim like coco and next time do it right so your not wasting your time.
