Please Help! Can't Solve Difficiency Problems, Plants are dying!! :(

Hello, How are you? First off, I'd like to say thank you for anyone that is looking here to help me.

Here's whats up. I got 4 different strains, all shows the same issues at the moment. I just recently switched nutrients (like a month ago) and ever since then I've had nothing but problems. I switched from Fox Farm nutrients after a flush to General Hydroponics Flora Series. I think it caused nutrients lock out (I was warned that GH has alot of salts or something that will build up easy). I bought GH for hydroponics (DWC) and I think i'll jst use it for that and continue using FF for my soil grows.

Anyways, all my ladies are in soil at the moment, fox farms soil. I am using big bloom, grow big & Tiger bloom, though atm the mix up only calls for GB & BB. I have flushed all my plants intensively multiple times now.... using PHed (5.8-6.3) Reverse Osmosis water with a PPM of 15. After flushing I sprayed a nutrient solution of 5ml GB/5ml BB along with 1ML super thrive for topical feeding.

I recently got clones from the dispensary (one I never go to) and the damn things had spider mites which spread to my other ladies. I have since cleaned them up but ever since they got infested with mites (and I changed the nutrient line) I have run into nothing but trouble and I really need help now because its been 2 weeks or so of me trying to correct these problems and they seem to just keep getting worse, not better.

I have never in my life had so many problems growing before... So frustrating.. I've gone from growing no problem for years on end... to not even being able to keep 1 plant alive. What is going on???? How is it effecting all my plants like this?

Is looks like Phosphorus def. to me, or is it the mites? Thanks to anyone that can help save my medication. Thank you.

Um I'd just start again Man U can regrow them stunted girls in like 2 weeks I reakon . It would prob faster u start again then try to fix them

Anything shorter than your knee, clean hard, use a sprayer, and use extreme prejudice... spray tops n bottoms of every leaf, against ur palm, CLEAN them of all residues, bugs, webs, everything...

Anything larger, cut you losses, take some cuttings, make some clones (Mite dip the cuttings!) n try again.... Even if you nurse them back to health the time n size they will require will NOT pay off in the yield.... Ive been where you are, know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.....

Flush flush FLUSH that soil, then reset it with Ph'd 25% strength veg nutes doctored w/ calmag+, and whisper sweet words to them.....

Getting clones from less then healthy girls an be problematic.

I would consider putting those first two back into veg on an 18/6 cycle and give them liquid fish. I think maxi crop is like $10 quart or Alaska fish pretty cheap too. Hose second two plants don't look too bad

Well as said above, I can't really take clones off of these plants. I paid for them to begin with I don't really want to pay for anymore so restarting at this point is the last thing I want to do.

I need to know whats going on with them so I can not have it happen again. Its happening to every single plant I have no matter of strain... I've cleaned every plant with great discrepancy and the mites are gone but ever since then they have just sat there. The big plants I've had for months... I can't just cut them down and start over... Thats not an option.

I need to know whats going on with them, is it the mites or is it the nutes?

I've also cleaned out all my tents and everything with clorox and seperated plants and for months now nothing has gone right, its like I've completely lost my green thumb and can't even keep a plant alive now, I'm extremely frustrated.

I am sure that starting over won't solve my problems, because these plants were fine before all this hit them. I need to know what happened to begin with in order for it not to happen again.

Looks like over-watering honestly...

what dispensary, ive heard that russet mites are all over the place in colorado. they will cause that claw look and a rusting color at the node growth, you cant see them unless you have a microscope.. and they are a bitch to get rid of if you dont want to use crazy chemicals, i had to kill everyting i had and bug bomb and bleach the piss out of my rooms...if you have russets id kill em and find some clean stuff...

yes i thought the same thing but the plant i had that had russets bad, clawed up really bad, and slowed growth all the new growth and growth 2 to 3 nodes down on every branch had this light yellowing/white-ish color and fading into a rust brown color, and all the leaves started clawing bad like that...

it might be easiest to just start fresh and clean, since you said everything had spider mites, you going to have to treat for them and also nurse everything back to health before you flower, youve got a long road ahead of you, id start fresh and clean if it were me...it sucks but its all an uphill battle other wise

It's a phosphorus deficiency. Forget the foliar stuff for now. If the soil isn't straight-- the foliar treatments do little. Whether it's caused from the ph being off or not enough fertilizer, the treatment is the same. Flush with a healthy dose of ph'd nutrient water -- I would use full strength quite honestly depending on what line you're using. 1/2 to 1gallon for a 1 gallon pot. 2 gallons for a 3 gallon pot and 3 gallons for a 5 gallon pot will work just fine. You'll see beautiful new growth in 1-3 days-- let pot dry almost completely out before you water again. Make sure the plants are in an appropriate sized container too. The white specks look like spider mites-- you're on your own with that one.
