Iv been having issues and iv tried diagnosing but with what seems to be little to no progress,iv got yellowing and brown spotting on leaves which i thought was a nitrogen burn or deficiency,a few days ago i was instructed to stab a few holes in the soil which made them perk back up nicely but also had a minor fungus gnat problem so in there feeding today i added a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide in there water along with the nutes to kill any possible larva that may be bedded in the soil,Did the H202 do this? Maybe root lock? Im absolutely lost at this point and could really use some solid advise before i loose my girls,thanks in advance and cheers! Anymore info needed please don't hesitate to ask.

Weird... They look hungry to me but that happy frog is pretty strong.
Maybe try resetting. Mix up a 5 gal batch of soil with 1/2 cup of happy frog and up pot the girls.

Yeah i thought they were hungry as well and just needed some water, seeing as i only feed them every 2 weeks and i don't give them full doses as i believe it will be to much for them,repotting them atm is more then a challenge seeing as they need to be in a bigger medium now but i haven't got the space for bigger pots yet,im limited on room and was aiming to transplant once i figured the sex out so they can be in healthier pots with more breathing room,and i can't do the 5 gallon pot mix or ill be left with out soil for bloom,i stretched my budget on this one and seems i may have cornered my self pretty good here,smh.

Dont underestimate the good ol PH story bro, very important. That, and over fertilizing are probably among the most common issues people report on this forum

I keep my doses on feeding down to at least half cause i know the repercussions of over feeding then stressing them through a flush,not fun.

Yeah man but we all struggle with PH at some point, me included. Its a real tight rope to walk lol. Its very important to buy a good PH meter though, they are pricey but it pays off in the long run man! Theres a good chance your meter could be off

First you need a real light. What you have is fine for seedlings but not for long. Also you do not need to feed in FFOF. This is more than pH but don’t overlook the pH. Those containers suck. Switch to bags instead and get a cheap light kit. Even a good T5 would rock.
