PICS --plants yellow, drooping, and dying... pls help if u can

My easy ryders are looking very sick all of a sudden. Some are starting to turn yellow and some have really curled leaf tips like claws. The bottom most leaves on some are yellow and curled up like they're dead.

I have never fed them any nutes yet so I don't see how they got nut burnt, but that's definetly what it looks like. When I water them I only use like a half gallon each plant every few days, is it possible that I'm not giving enough water for the ferts in the FFOF to dissolve properly?
Pleaase help!!

Strain: easy ryder
Age : 27 days
Light: 600W HPS 15" above
Temps: 79-83F

Soil: FFOF 2gal grow bags
Nutes: FF 3-pack (never been feed yet)

Do you have any fresh air coming in into your grow place? If not, you might want to make some small co2 devices. Also, when is the last time you watered? They look a bit dry to me but I cannot tell exactly. Check the soil with your fingers if it is dry water it. Also check the bottom of your pots to see if it is dry or wet at the bottom.

It could be a nitrogen deficiency. Here's a link to common problems and solutions:

Ocean Forest has enough nutes in it for the first couple of weeks so it may be time to start feeding them Grow Big and Big Bloom.

I would start adding some Big Bloom to waterings. In a few of those pics the lower leaves seem to be showing a magnesium def. Other than that the look pretty good to me. And when you water/feed always be sure to get some run off.

thanks for the replies, ok well i think im about to give all the girls a 1/4 strength feeding of big bloom and grow big right now.. does that sound ok? and also, what do u mean by get some run off?

Yep, I say go ahead and feed them and work the nute strength up every week, you don't want to burn them. Water them slowly until you start to see water coming from the bottom of your container, which is your 'run off'.

ok so i just watered and fed all of the girls and I FOUND BUGS. theres a shit load of white AND dark bugs in the soil... :'[ and theres ones that are flying and shit. what should i do?? should i go buy some leem oil? i caaaant have these plants die on me please help someone thank you!

roxfan307 here
get some NEEM oil and wipe each leaf down with neem and a paper towel. the dark are adult that lay eggs and in the next 3 days can wipe you out.\, been there. also aza-max. 2 days neem then change to aza max then back to neem oil. use gloves. i bug can prduce way too many eggs.
tanglefoot is sitcky but catches them also.

i aslo trimmed back the damaged plants.
you said temp got to 83 see if you can keep it under 80. i had 1 grow that hit +85 degress and the spread like wildfire so temp is important.

nutes it is time yes. they say ffof has enough but i like to help them along. i use roots organic products and like them. iconic isnt bad as long as you dont over do it.
a buddy uses home and garden but this cost is why i use roots.



today is VETS day! so i am hanging out today ya-no! thanks VETS

I also suggest you get a Hot Shot No Pest Strip. They work VERY well at wiping out the gnats.

Man, the quality of FFOF is really, really bad. As I've been buzzing around this place I've noticed a simple trend... 80% of the soil grows on here with a problem are in Ocean Forest.

FFOF is the new Miracle Grow with Moisture control. Fox Farms just cannot provide the quality given the market demand. This is becoming more and more clear with every day.

I have a similar problem with bugs. I have the flying bastards and the tiny fast crawilng ones. I thought they were some kind of spider mite, but they are only in the soil, not on any leaves. I got some Gognats (cedar oil) and drenched the soil as well as folilar sprayed them.
I use Roots Organics too. All of the bags I bought (4) had the little crawling critters in them when I opened the bags. The hydro store told me that there is nothing he can do about the bugs, as they come included in the price. I read if the retailers store the soil outdoors they can get contamintated. This store sells pallets full every week and never keeps them outside except while they are unloading the shipment.
I bought some yellow pest strips from the store, both of my grow rooms have 200 or more flies on each strip which I put out 5 days ago. I had no idea I had so many adults, I only ever see a couple buzzin' around.
