Here are pictures of my grow, 5 early misty plants from Nirvana. They were going along fine and then all of a sudden they have gone to shit. Some have the leafs flipping almost upside down and turning yellow from the outside in. One plant has the tips curling upwards. The funny thing is There is a known female that seems to be doing just fine... no special treatment. I have been using a 20-20-20 fertilizer. the temp is around 70-75 degrees. my light is a 150 watt HPS bulb. a 2 foot my 3 foot growing space. Where do I go from here. I am thinking about putting them outside and see what happens???
my plants are having trouble! PICTURES

ok that look like ph possibly because ph problems can lock out more than 1 nutrient at a time giving you odd looking problems....i would do ph test and fix probly need some lime and also that ahs happened to me where the females hold out better in more acidic conditions and what turned out to be males were the shitty looking ones...but not always the case so dont think they are all males just my experience
I have a tool that measures moisture and PH.. cost me like 10 bucks.. is that something that can be used to determine accurate ph? the tool reads 7.5 ph. Would that high enough to give me these fucked up results? should i test the water as well before watering? also my female is the first picture... how is she looking?

I would seperate all of those girlies out of that one pot. I hate those rectangle pots it collects water on the bottom. Sooner or later you'll get a salt build up and you'll try to flush them but it's impossible to drain all the water out of the rectangle pot. Sorry for coming off like an ass, but I just had a really bad experience with that type of pot. good luck

What kind of soil is that? Is your fert. old? For whatever reason PH lockout or old nutes or some kind of mineral def. the nitrogen is not getting to the leafs. I don't think outside is going to do any good unless your grow has bad ventilation. You need to ph your water before watering. If your soil or nutes are old get new. Other than that don't know what to tell you. Good luck. One thing that may help is any of the products like Superthrive or florilicous plus may help over a couple of feedings. They contain a lot of minerals and vitamins most ferts. esp. miricle grow do not have. If you have a def. it will help to cure that.

Well i dont know where u get those numbers but 5.8 wont do any good for plants... it need to be like 6.8...

Sometimes you need to make your soil more acidic to help a problem. Let's say you have a P deficiency, you would need to make the soil more acidic so that P will become available for the plant. Something at 5.5-6.5 is ideal.Well i dont know where u get those numbers but 5.8 wont do any good for plants... it need to be like 6.8...
Used too much nutes. The plant couldn't handle the dose so it's leaves look like they do. Not saying that happened, but looks like it may be part of the problem. You tried flushing your plant with an all around fertilizer or just PHed water?
