WZ UUUUUp! Check this website out. http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseedbank.com/Growguides/troubleshootingsolutions/marijuana-health-problems.html.
But remember to not get hypochodriac toward your plants. And feed with everything possible, One thing at the time. And wait for results and then try something else. What water do you use? Tap? I buy destilled water, at first i used tap water but i blocked a lot of the nutrients, so i flushed them with dest water and after some days they were alot better. But it looks like Mg Mn Magnesium and maganese. But im only a newbie.

Peace from sweden!

Most commercials soils are acidic, not just Miracle Grow.

To the OP, it's not the MG causing the problems, it is your lack of experience. Don't sweat it, most of the time the plants will recover if you remedy the problem.

Your plants look outstanding! They are healthy and have huge fan leaves, with a rich, dark green color. I suspect that I know what the problem is, but let's work it out together. There is some basic info that should be provided when ever you request help on the forums. Pics is one, thanks. What type of water are you using? How often and how much are you watering? How old are the plants? Are you feeding them anything yet? What is the PH of your soil?

The answer to these questions will help to determine your exact problem. The sooner you can provide them, the sooner someone can pitch in and tell you with confidence, what is going on...

Looks like nute burn to me. You can fix this though like Serapis said, probably just need to adjust the PH level =]

I water them with water from the sink, which has never been a problem. I would say i water them about every 2 days. The soil is constantly wet tho it doesnt drain well at all. PH is normal at 7.3 and i am using botanicare grow formula.

Hang in there, water less, let the plant wilt a bit prior to your next watering. Sounds like your next problem will be fungus gnats if your soil stays wet. Secondly I would check your tap water, and test it. You never know what is in there. If you live in an area with municipal water, its almost a certainty that there are additives in it which could be causing massive issues.

MG Organic with MG nutes worked well for me on my first grow. So much so that I'm going back to it for some plants on my 3rd grow. I just emailed FF and they are sending me samples of GrowBig, TigerBloom, Ocean Forest, and she said she would throw in others as well. I'm interested to try it. If they are willing to give away samples, they must be sure you will be happy with the results. The funniest part is that they drug test their employees.

Edit: I added MG Perlite at about 60/40 soil for drainage.

From everything I've read and done, it's better to let the soil dry before watering again. Roots need oxygen and they can only get the oxygen they need by letting the soil dry out before rewatering.

Also, I add 1/3 part perlite to my soil before potting, this allows for better drainage.

I also put some crumpled newspaper at the very bottom of my pots then some perlite on top of the newspaper then my soil mix.
