Hey y’all! Can someone please help me out. I’m not sure what’s going on with my two ladies here, each day they’re looking worse and worse..

Here’s some background and what I’ve tried so far.

I’m growing in amended organic soil with a Fox Farm ocean forest base.

At first I thought my light was too intense (260w QB 648) so I’ve turned it down to around 60%. Then I thought it was nitrogen deficiency so I made some Caligreen compost tea and used microbe life PH down to 6.8 because I thought I might have been having PH issues. Normally I don’t PH because I’m growing organically in amended soil, but in this case, I have been to try and bring these plants back. I did check the PH of my soil and it’s showing just about at 7. I’m watering every other day with RO water in 3gal pots using Caligreen soil. My temps are no lower than 68F at night and with my light turned down to 60%, my temps are not going above 83F during lights on.

The only other thing I can think of is early on I top dressed both plants with mosquito bits to kill off some fungus gnats. Mosquito bits produce a microbe that eats the gnat larvae, but it’s not supposed to harm the plants.

Sorry for the long post but I need help and I’ve tried all things I know to do

Thanks in advance!

They look pretty fried... might be able to save the first one, but that second one I'd try to take clones and burn the rest/start over...

those look fried especially the second pic
my best guess is you added to much stuff to a soil base that is already has enough nutrients to last 1 1\2 - 2 months
how much extra stuff did you put in your ffof

meh i used it......it worked but i personally liked Gaia green living soil for a bagged soil,it's pretty easy for a newb gardener...just use the living soil in a bag, up pot a couple weeks before flip to give it some fresh soil then top dress with Gaia green power bloom @ 2 ,4 of flower(could also do at 6) at the recomended rate for top dressing stated on the jug .
just add water and you'll have some beautiful organic buds in the end provided you have decent clone/seed

ain't that the truth love this stuff....then you pair it with blumats and its a whole other ball game,
living soil= water only,
blumats=only fill res and plants drink when they want individually
living soil + blumats= match made in heaven

When did they start looking shitty like that? It’s weird to me if they were able to get to that point and begin producing flower then just start dying if nothing changed. Think back: something must have triggered this reaction. If they’d been this unhealthy all along they wouldn’t have even reached this size.

That is 100% a rootzone issue and it they didnt just suddenly take a shit. That cover crop looks to be growing OK so this either a poor attempt at a troll job or......

Those were starving to death probably 4 or 5 weeks ago. now its too late literally. You can feed them an get some new growth but it wont amount to anything. FFOF is not the problem. Its not a real consistant soil but its fine.
You keep trying to give her organic food and the microlife in the soil just cant break it down in time. you NEED chems. no way around it in my opinion.
Organic growing is not easy unless you already have the recipe for your strain.

If she was super overwatered , she would be dead , so thats not your only problem. im sure you could use less water but im guessing.

im 100% that if you fed her food she can get to then they will ....uh.....survive but thats about it.
