Need help with some locked up plants

Have a few mothers I could use some help with. I seem to have locked a couple up pretty good. I was using some left over H&G for Hydro veg nutes on these few that have the lockout. These are in a soiless base of Light Warrior.

Problem : basically the plants just arent growing at all in the last 2-3 weeks. They look OK but have a kind of pale green color to them. The stems are all hard even at the tops and a lot of purpling stems which usually is a PH issue. Anyhow I have flushed them a couple times and still havent gotten the to come back to life. Used Floraclean in 6.0 PH water, flushed each one gallon container with a good 2 gallons. I then used Pureblend Pro Grow on the next watering. Should I have flushed more ? Perhaps flush until it starts growing again or ?

Would like to get these varieties going again . Seems like they are just frozen in time. :-(

Thank you

The nutes are deficient in one or more nutrients especially if there leftover and old.

Buy some new stuff,like fox farms and bring em back into the swing of things.

Most of the times its not a ph issue.

Purple stems can be from a lack of phosphorous too... among other things.

Good luck :)

Over fertilization will also lock up nutrients making your plant look deficient, but like CLOSETGROWTH (Hey man, nice setup) said its probably PH or a phosphorus deficiency. Cold temps will also make them stagnate and make the stems go purple.

Used the Pureblend Pro with Flourolicious grow last couple feedings but still seemed locked out. Other plants in same room are doing great.

Should I just flush it a few waterings in a row perhaps?

With nutrient lock though you see deficiencies more then simply a lack of growth. I'd probably pull them, mess with their roots(cut) a bit and then replant with a dosage of Superthrive

Wow, that drastic ? Would I risk losing the plant by doing this? Pull them up and shake the soil off and just cut the ends perhaps?

Its weird cause the plants dont look terrible at all. Just pale green and ZERO growth for weeks.
