I STILL think you have soil bugs eating your roots, could even be small worms, if a plant is wilting like you say and you cant find bugs on the leaves, its then the other, ''ROOTS'' you ''MUST'' have something in the soil, still real sorry for your girls man, i sure know how id be feeling. all the very best.

Hey Quick...Give Uncle Ben a shout about this issue, he is the pot whisperer.

However from what I can see, and I am just now showing up to your thread, you have 2 things that may be going on. One is ph. I noticed that your ph has been ranging between 6.8-7.1, although those don't seem high to some strains those points are high. I have dealt with fussy plants that would only respond well to a ph of 6.5 only, above or below that they started acting up, constant and consistant pms.

Also another poster mentioned water and letting your pots get dry. They like water, but they like to work for it. The dryer the soil the better they do, oddly. I have mine in 3 gallon pots. I water every sunday just to quench and only feed them every other watering. This batch is out performing my first 5 batches, the ones I blasted with everything the doctor ordered.

Hopefully this helps and is not a repeat of anything above. Luck and try top dressing your soil w/ dolomite lime.

The white, yellow, colored "dots" in the leaves is the plant's reaction to some kind of stress, no doubt nutritional. No telling what the plant is getting regarding elements with all that stuff. If you could give me a final NPK value of what your plant are getting, the frequency and amount, we could go from there.

Loss of leaves, discoloration, chlorosis, etc. is all about nutrition. I doubt if the problem is pH.

how do i go about even getting these values for you. Since the flush the plant has had no nutes at all

the reason for no nutes is because last time i occured this problem i tried to feed it and it just burned the plants and the problem still kept coming..Its the fox farm trio grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom..i usually run about 800ppms..i feed it once a week or so..i tested my ph two ways first was a ph meter at 7.5ph(but my ph was lower it just now reached this high) the problem was occuring before my ph was bad.. second i took a sample of soil in a spoon mixed it up in some distilled water and use the drops in a tube to test which was at a 6ph...as of right now ive used grow big and tiger bloom only. Also the botanicare cal/mag..the only other thing i have been using is the GH floralicious..which has no NPK value at all...if that is all we were talking about then yeah i know these values..i though possible you wanted me to test my run off or something for tds/ppm and or for EC.

Take the NPK values of each food, add them up and divide by whatever. If you use twice as much of one or the other, than it carries twice the weight or numerical value. I bet on the Fox stuff, you have such a high P or K final value that they are suffering from a N deficiency.

Any change in them ? if i ever hit a prob and could not work out for myself i would only be asking one man on this site.

Yipp uncle Ben. Really do hope this prob can be sorted. and i bet its a simple prob.

Weeds are hardy things that can recover, just keep in mind nothing is going to happen overnight.

ok well today i watered with some distilled water since my ph was a little high i dropped the ph of the water down about 6 to lower the ph. do u think dolomite lime would do the trick fast enough? i know sulfur and lime are used to raise and lower but it usually takes a considerable amount of time before the ph gets into sink. also i added "revive" advance nutrients to help with stress and fixes what def. it has..
