Probably underfed. Your plants that are doing well might not like a strong feeding. Can't tell you for sure though.

They top one lookslike potassium def. prolly due to being underfed. the other one I am not sure deep ridges make me think over waterd which is starting root rot which is causing other nute uptake maybe a salt build up too? not exactly sure one that one I would give it a new batch of nutes cut back on the watering schedule how do your roots look?

root rot is definitely there...I may be watering too much...my next purchase will be a cycle timer for 1 on 5 off. I only have a 15 minute increment timer right now. What cycle would you suggest?

I am perplexed with the claw on one girl and the ridges on the other...also have slow growth on a fem diesel from seed

I use the cap one you should use something like hygrozyme to eat up ur dead roots or just cut off the dead part. looks like u havent flipped em yet so u can just cut the roots it will slow growth for a bit but u will be fine as long as u give it some time before u flower.

http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/items.asp?Cc=TI&Bc= this is the timer I use.
If root rot is bad cut them if its not too bad u can use a zyme (hygro, canna, etc.). Your yield might suffer a bit, but if u give them veg time to recover hopefully it should be too bad. I had a root rot problem 3 weeks into flower and had to cut the roots yield was half what it should have been. just make sure that u have adequate drainage. what kind of system are u using?

I pulled the rotten roots off this morning...also set the timer for 15 on 45 off....I am using a DIY aero set up. I have plenty of time to get these 2 back healthy. I really want to get this corrected as I have some clones that are ready to go into veg in this setup and dont want them to die or get stunted.
