Why do you have multiple plants in same bucket? Thats first thing id change. Transplant to their own pots with good soil. Looks like by the twisted growth you have a ph issue going.

Could be a Zinc issue due to PH problems or root problems.
Whats the medium ?
Is there good drainage holes in the container?
How often are you watering and how much?

Recently flushed due to other prblems. Been waiting on it to dry out...been like eight days so far soil is ecoscraps plus perlite little vermiculite and Coco coir. One container is those Walmart green self watering so it has alot of holes and other has one big hole in bottom it's thicker plastic. How do I get zinc fixed, my ph is 6.8-6.9

I struggle when it comes to advise on mixes of soil and soilless, I'm a coco guy, I suppose it depends on how much coco vs soil there is in the mix.
I think either way lowering the PH would help zinc uptake.
I would let it dry out properly first.
It wouldn't hurt to add some kelp to your feed next time.

Kelp has zinc im guessing

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

I flushed like 10 days ago and still wet like two inches deep my tester says level 9-10 on moisture at like two inches deep too was about 3/4 on moisture max is ten

Overwatering can cause Zinc uptake problems due to root problems.
Too high PH causes Zinc to be locked out.
I wasn't sure if you were fully organic, but if you PH your water then shoot for 6. If your organic then that's a different situation.
Kelp has Zinc but also it contains iron and vitamins as well as natural hormones to help roots grow and de-stress the plant. Its basically a wonder solution when used every so often. It will help your plant uptake other nutrients.

I'm guessing your roots are not well enough developed for the size of the container you are in. You would be better in separate containers of a more appropriate size. That would help the roots since they would not be too wet for too long which can cause all sorts of nutrient issues through root rot.

Ok I thought the pots were too big just had limited options when I got then cos they were dying in the crap they were in and this was what was in and lol so kelp not seaweed right or are they the same essentially lol just wondering cos local store has seaweed can't recall if I saw kelp.

coreywebster · May 31, 2017

You'l be all good with a liquid seaweed. Make sure its not plant food with seaweed added because some are.

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

Ok thanks I appreciate it.
O also have quick question when plants are stressing out cos of pH is it smart to be giving them root activator few ml at a time like every other day cos the guy who I got them for said to do that but he also was one had them nearly dead so idk lol

I would leave them be until dried out some. If you want to add anything do it when they need watering next.

How can I dry soil out faster would it be safe to stab bunch of holes in sides of pot?

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

Also so I shouldn't use Neptune's harvest because it's kelp meal right or is this one ok

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

Or would Alaska pure kelp plant food be better has lower n and k levels.

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

I got some seaweed. I also transplanted the biggest into a different pot the soil mix is bout 40% perlite 30% ecoscraps 25% worm castings 5%coco coir pH is 6.5 moisture is down and new pot has alot more holes for drainage.

Humblebudz · May 31, 2017

Lol also just realised the tallest has shown sexual maturity as far a I've been told cos it has staggered branch instead of opposite side but same location

Use a fluffy towel under the pot so that the fibers of the towel make contact with the soil thru the drain holes and it will wick a lot of the water out of the rootball.

^ that is clever

what are your temps humidity and co2ppm's?

My first thought is that your plants need to better light and to be left alone for a while
