Sick plant help

photo.JPGSo i was hoping for some input with this issue. I have 2 White Widdow plant clones(From one of my outdoor plants last fall), 5 gal smart pot, FFOF soil under T5's for veg. They have had this issue for months. I have transplanted into fresh FFOF soil 3 weeks ago with no change. I am at a loss as what to do. No other plants are affected like this except the WW. Small sections all over the plants keep getting this issue, then those areas just dry up, wither and die. i have pruned off areas to try and clear it up but it keeps returning. Any help would be great!

What are you feeding it? ww may be sensitive to nutes and now its nute burned, also i think the ph is out.
 
they were being given 1/2 strength FF nutes every other week and straight water the alternating weeks. i have perfect well water with 6.8ph and have always ph's the water with the nutes to 6.0.
They were flushed 4 weeks ago and then a week later repotted with fresh FFOF soil to try to resolve it.
 
So, can/should I use:
Powdereddolomite lime sprinkled on top of the soil at about 2tbl/gallon of mix and just water in?
Or should i flush again?

a bit of purple
if you got some purple in the stems,I'm going with a cal/mag problem. Using r/o water, I have seen plants do exactly that from lack of cal/mag. one good watering with cal/mag and it fixes it.
the problem I'm having is you say no other plants are doing it and your using well water. I would go with the lime, flushing is not going to help if it's a def.
 
So just to clarify. the two plants with the issues are white widdow.
The other strains i have going are GDP, BiG Buddha Cheese and G13 Pineapple express. all of which i have had no issues with.
These are all also clones and have had complete grows through flower without issue. The origional WW was done outside and was cloned
and now growing inside with the issues, i now just think it is just a bit more sensitive than the other strains.
Thanks!

I would agree that a cal/mag deficiency or PH being way out would cause it, but it would usually affect the whole plant starting from the bottom up, not just sections of the plant, which would be more like a fungus or mold problem Also I think a PH of 6 is a little low, I shoot for a runoff of 6.5 and my plants seem to grow well with the PH at that level. I hope your other plants continue to do well. Peace

So went and got a bottle of Bionicare Cal Mag and gave the recommended dose of 5 ml per gal to all my plants. After assessing all of the other plants (some almost finished) it appears they all have some degree of cal mag deficiency Here i am thinking i have this great untreated, perfect well water to feed my girls. But not noticing that what is good on one side requires a bit more attention to detail on the other. Thanks for all the help to get be back on the right path!
