hey guys. This is my first post. Long time lurker, but just never have posted.

Been having a problem lately with my girls. Yellowing in the leaves. All 3 had it, switched to just Ph'd water with some kelp and 2 of the 3 basically cleared up. The one in the center has it the worst. Don't want to let it go any longer as it seems just water isn't helping.
Thanks guys

is that yellow or is it the angle of the camera?

The one that is yellowing, is it strong enough to pull up and look at the root system so we can start the process of elimination?

Just watered them this evening, after they dry out a bit I think I can pop that one up and take a peek at the roots.

I was given kelp by a fellow grower who has a large scale medical garden. Told me to use it as a foliar feed every now and then and also to use with waterings. Just a pinch in a gallon of water, is that too much?

Looks like it's throwing the pH off.. let them dry out completely. Water them right before they are about to droop.

This is exactly what was done before tonight's watering. When I came home from work the one furthest to the right had drooped slightly and then I watered them.

Keep doing that..feed at half strength. You need some calmag. You can transplant into a bigger pot with fresh nutrient rich soil if you want to make life easier.

In that case do your basic Flush on the said lady and water her with a mild PH'd watering. Everything will be fine. How much is a pinch? Remember to keep an eye out for overwatering.

Probably somewhere between an 1/8th of a tsp to a 1/16th of kelp to a gallon of water. I'm using a 1/8th tsp measuring spoon and nowhere near filling it.

No need for unnecessary transplanting. Like i said, if it worsens you should do a flush and water with a mild nute (ph'd of course) and make sure your drying out before your watering again. U have at least another month or 2 in those pots too.

let soil dry out pretty much completely before watering again, the pot should feel light and the soil appears fairly dry. best not to use kelp. it's hormones and can do more harm than good, unless you know how much to use and how often. what are you pHing water to? probably not necessary. don't over feed thinking that more is better. it's the most common mistake. consider going into flower soon, if not already. a good idea is to get a sodium light. expensive, but worth it and better than MH on power consumption.
