Plants Problems with Pics

This plant is being grown indoors in a 5 gallon bucket with FFOF. Its 2 months old and 3 weeks into flowering. Its under 1 200w 25000l cfl, 2 42w 2700k cfls, 1 6500w cfl, and 2 23w cfls. Temps with lights is 80-85f, in dark 70f. In a week I'll water once with well water, and give it nutes also. The nutes im using are bio-canna bio flores, and molasses; I switch off using these two. I also have intake/exhaust fans going. The reason it looks so bare is because I removed most of the sick leaves off the plant. What could be the problem, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

My theory is that you have been using full strength nutes will little to no drainage which does:

1. Burns them... severely.
2. Over waters them and then burns them again. (Water + Nutrient solution has no where to go, so it sits there until the plant sucks it all up which over waters the plant and nutrient burns them at the same time!)

If on the other hand it does:

1. Have good drainage
2. Using 1/2 - 1/4 nutrient strength solution

Then I have no idea.

I never go overboard on the water and I have a hard time believing they are overwatered. As for nutes im using 1/2 strength now. Drainage is good. Do you think I should give it a nice flush?

Hmm... I really have no idea then mate. You could flush it in case it is a lockout of some sort but if the problem really is due to over watering, a flush will most likely kill it.

How often do you water and how much do you water?

PH doesn't really matter when growing in soil. Unless you know you are using highly acidic/alkaline water the soil usually buffers the PH, especially if there is perlite since perlite buffers to around 7.0.

You need one of the "veteran" growers around here to help solve your problem. I'd suggest you PM Babygrow as he is an experienced soil grower and knows his "shit".

I have seen this many times. Currently I have a full room that is gorgeous at 4 weeks however I have only one girl that is showing the same symptoms. Only one. I have concluded that its overwatering of that single plant. any deficency or lock-out does not make sense because nothing else shows this specific sympton some time referred to as "Ramhorn effect" or "the Claw effect". Over nutrients is possible as a result of over watering. I would recomend allowing the plant to suffeciently dry then flush
