everyother day from a brita filter that's room temp
7. What is the pH of your water?
idk
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio?
just use the ff happy frog and i tested it today, its about 5-3-2 for the sour d, the kush i have yet to test but they've been under the same conditions and have similar symptoms
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?

14. What is the pH of the soil?
6.0
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
no
16. How much experience do you have growing?

They have some weird yellowing starting of the edges that works it's way in, very spotty, and firm leaves that either stick up or down, the sour d is worse off then the kush

Plants that small should be in a humidity environment at least 50%. Mines at 60% now and rocking. Amazing how much diff. the basics can be. Dirt ph can be higher than hydro, would be great if you could at least know what comes out of your tap. My ph is 7.5 tap, way too hi for anything. Adding nutes brings it down. Small plants dont need alot of water.

well I think its more than one problem, thanks to the new thermostat i know that at night time when i close the tent they've been getting up to 100F, no bueno, and im anywhere from 20% to 30% humidity, then ive got the nitrogen excess, explaining the dark and droopy leaves, also i've been wondering about a magnesium deficiency, been looking at charts side by side to my plants constantly lol but they've gotta make it for the next 11 days unfortunately unless i can scrap something together

I think pH is slightly out of whack, that they look like they've got too much N and are Mg deficient. Something isn't playing well. Top dress with worm castings and a wee bit of dolomitic lime, get it scratched in well. Back off the feed, water only @6.5-6.8pH for a week.

In a week make a worm casting tea (I like 1C castings per 5gals unchlorinated water) with molasses at the rate of NO MORE THAN 1tsp per gallon and bubbled overnight.

The molasses in there, is going to cause a population explosion and they are going to eat up some of that excess nitrogen. But watch out! They're going to shit it out again in about 1-2 weeks, I would have to guess.

The castings and molasses are going to provide both Ca and Mg, as well as the microbes and food for everyone, for a bit. Go easy on everything from there on out.

If they weren't so dark green I would normally advise a foliar with MgSO4 (Epsom salt) at a rate of 1/4tsp per gallon, but right now you really don't want to do that.

I know it looks a lot like n claw but there's been no food given to these girls just water I've used a lot of this dirt and never had this prob ph could def be it but he let's the water sit out for a day or two which should help I'm guessing its mg but usually the leaves perk up from that which is why im so stumped ph would be most likely I'm guessing but then again he's got one other plant wouldn't a wack ph lock em all out?
