Losing lots of leaves, plant fading away? Can someone help?

Hello out there. I've got this lady looking a little scraggly. Lots of leaves have been lost, and all of my fan leaves shrivel away. Some of them have started with a little yellow spot, and it spreads around. Some leaves start at the tip, and just slowly dry away to nothing and fall off on their own. MG soil and 4 fluorescent lights surrounding with 300 watt high power CFL on top meant for flower stages.

The plant has been losing leaves in this fashion since the beginning, but has accelerated recently


Fan leaves are now falling off of the side stems, instead of just the main stalk. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening here? Am I not going to get very much yield off of this lady with these conditions? Thanks for any help out there! Closer pics below

Chances are your lady hit a nute ball in the MG soil, flush that lady and do so quickly. you can still save her.

How ever big your pot is use 3x that amount of water, do it in 3rds, wait about 10-15 min between each 3rd.

i am a newbie also but here is a link i like to use. http://www.420magazine.com/forums/problems-pests-disease-control/81275-cannabis-plant-pest-problem-solver-pictorial.html on here ur pics look like either a p or a k deficincy . good luck!!

looks over watered.

I wouldnt think it was over watering, looking at the soil in the pics it looks like its been watered recently but not showing evidence of over saturation.

i'm looking at the blackened, dead, curled up leaves.

i'm sticking with "over watering".

Well you sure as shit have me beat in the experience department, so I will not disagree LOL!!

Also doesn't over watering MG with the time release nutrients cause all types of lockout issues?

MG straight can very well be some nasty stuff. ll the nutes and all the nute balls. I wouldnt know what to do if thats the case....

if its over watering letting it dry out will help, at the same time if there is any nute lock going on, he will have to wait till its nie and dry 3-5 days probably and then due a proper flush.

overwatering generally does not burn leaf tips or dry them out. overwatering is manifestested as curling leaf tips followed by soft wilting foilage that appears heavy. im not saying its not overwatering but it could be many things.
heat stress
nutrient burn
ph balance
nutrient difficency
check your soil, look it up online and see if people have had success in the past doing what you do.
make certain you box is set up properly with intake and exhaust
a broad answer i know but unfortunately you have a broad issue that could have many different causes.
good luck man

Thanks for all of the insight guys. I've been trying to let her dry out for 3-5 days in between, but maybe it has not been long enough. This soil is also the Moisture Control brand... bleh. Horrible choice from what I'm told, but trying to make it work. Others have used it successfully, maybe its my bag seed strain. I will try drying it out a little bit more this time through before water. I have never known to use three times the amount of potsize for watering. I will try that, and see if it helps. Is that what flushing is? Or should I simply water like that every time? Is this what I've missed?

no not every time its just for flushing! normally when you water you should pour water in till some starts leaking out the bottom of tub

I have heard some horrible things about the mg moisture control. You really should only water if the soil is completely dry up top and even test a depth of 1-2 inches with your finger. With the lighting you are using I cant imagine much evaporation. you might honest be 5-7 days between watering. Definitely let it dry out

Plus rep, reverof. thanks! never been told exactly how to flush a plant properly so easily. Im definitely going to be trying an extended wait for watering now. Thanks again guys! I hope this works, if not I have some clones going in the closet... hope they take!!

you've got to be careful flushing mg soil because ive read that the more you water the more ferts it releases
