what kind of nutrients are you using? the really yellow light green one that you arent worried about looks like she wants some nitrogen. the other looks like a deficiency of some sort starting, but as you said, ph could be the problem, cause wrong ph will cause lock out of certain nutrients. what kind of soil are you using and what kind of nutrients?

you are using both veg and bloom? that could cause a prob. with that list of ferts, i would say that you either have a ph prob. or nutrient toxicity. given your other thread about the mother plant w/a ph of 8, i would say that it is prob a ph problem. found this for you:

Soil PH Facts
pH affects plant growth and nutrient availability. pH can affect the availability of nutrients. pH can affect the absorption of nutrients by plant roots pH values above 7.5 cause iron, manganese, copper, zinc and boron ions to be less available to plants. pH values below 6 cause the solubility of phosphoric acid, calcium and magnesium to drop. pH values between 3 and 5 and temperatures above 26 degrees Celsius encourage the development of fungal diseases.

this is from "greenmanspage", test your soil ph and then get back to us.

well should i just feed with 7.0 water to bring up or down...i was thinking about going to the hydro stoere and grabbing a more accurate ph meter and a ph up since im pretty much dealing with acidity which is what it looks like

i have no clue about ph; i honestly dont worry too much about it with soil...unless my plants start to show problems. so far, i have had no problems that feeding or flushing couldnt fix, so i dont know how to go about changing your soils ph. ill try to find some info though.

cool; 6 is a little low, but shouldnt cause too much problem. just be carful when raising the ph, dont over do it, shoot for about 6.8
