What's going on with my lady

Hey guys, I was gifted three clones from my brothers boss, and they started out growing fantastic until the last couple weeks ago. Does anyone have any ideas? I transplanted her from the little one gallon container she was to a bigger one because she was starting to turn yellow. Cheers y'all!

We need to know what soil you're in. What you've been feeding and at what ph if you check. Also, what is the white powder on the buds and other plant? It looks like horrible powdery mildew but I'm guessing it's something you put down. Are you growing them outside? Otherwise, it's impossible to give you any real advice.

First off that white powder is diatomaceous earth. I had a pest infestation that had to be taken care of. As for the soil I have them in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. They're being grown indoors underneath an Aglex k4000 LED light inside a 4x8 foot tent. I am using Foxfarm big bloom nutrients at 650 ppm with a PH of 5.9.

Your in soil the ph of the water should be 6.5-7.5 normally you don’t need to ph the water for soil grows if your using tap water. I would raise your ph next watering since 5.9 is really low for soil.
 
I had root aphids, and Symphylans which were dealt with. I've actually lost two crops before this, but after one day of using tap water instead of the water out of my fancy reverse osmosis machine the ladies are back to praying. I will post updated pictures tomorrow when the lights are on for the day. Cheers everyone from Arizona fellas!

Glad they are bouncing back. Send some of that sunny weather my way. Winter is fast approaching here in upstate NY.
 
Well, all is still not well in the garden. I need some more help. I am currently flushing out my ladies. It seems to be helping but not? The leaf tips at the top of the plant is turning yellow, and dying.

Just curious, but why do you think something is wrong with them? They don't look so bad to these old eyes... Also, senescence is perfectly normal in the second half of flowering, and yours are still mighty green. Flushing, pH adjusting, futzing with this and that, bah!

Based on that photo and the clawed leaves, you may be overwatering. Why do you think you need to flush?. No need to use Big Bloom, you do want to use Tiger Bloom and you WILL want to PH that. Big Bloom isn't really a nute, it's microbes for the soil.

Makes sure your pots have good drainage and you let them dry out before watering. I'd wager that is the issue
 
It could be over watering, but I don't believe so. I usually stick my finger in the container and test how wet the soil is that way. If the soil is dry a couple of inches down I flood the pot.

Try going by weight of the pot just pick it up a little bit to feel how heavy it is after you water then let it get pretty light before watering again. Also your in soil no need to be flooding it just give it a good drink without saturating the soil these plants seem to really like the wet dry cycles and the plant will tell you when it’s thirsty it will start to sag and just look unhappy and even then it’s not like it’s just going to up and die within minutes they can go some time without water.
just give it a well balanced feed regularly and don’t worry about flushing unless your seeing some issues. Flushing is only to be used to clean out salt buildup or to correct an issue. Flushing to rid the plant of stored nutrients is a waste of time so just feed it right to the end.

Yeah looks like lockout.. iron or potassium..
I agree, don't ph your water for soil.. good chance things will streighten out if you stop ph'ing... plant will look and grow better..
Good soil will buffer the ph..
Even if your tap PH is 8.5? Btw, way better avatar!
