She’s looking a bit rough. What‘s in the bag for mix and do you check the ph and ppm/EC of your solutions?

Looks like it dried out at some point to me.
 
I have nothing to check pH with. Was just a simple grow and doing so good. Started out like little brown dots on the leaf and then this. Learn and live I guess.

Molasses will drop ph really low,the organic matter should take care of it though. I've only used it once ,never again.

I found it pulls the green out of a flowering plant pretty quick too, unless it was super green to begin with. Tastes like molasses in the buds, but plants like the free carbs.
Those marks on the leaves could be PH related, I wonder if the molasses dropped it real low.

I think it has something to do with the Molasses I gave it. Anyway of saving it? Cal mag? Ot anything?
Probably a good water flush to wash out the molasses and bring up the ph, then give her a feed with the Scott’s you’ve been using so she doesn’t get deficient. Let her dry and maybe do it again if she doesn’t look better.

Can you flush molasses out? Id just water with a high ph

I don’t know if it’ll flush or not. I was thinking along the same lines on bumping the PH but didn‘t want to complicate it too much. They’re not measuring PH so it’d be a shot in the dark so to speak. Any of the silicon additives will bump PH a lot, but no way to measure it. You sure molasses drops ph?

Get some good compost or ewc fill the pot with it and water it in.
That’d definitely help.
I’m gonna be real honest here and say that she’s already in flower and pretty hurt looking, it’s going to take a real big improvement for her to finish up well. Lots of damaged fan leaves on her and she won’t be able to replace them in flower like she could in veg.

yes a tbls to 3 gallons of water mix let sit will be 4 pH.I tried it once.Almost yellowed my plants overnight.
 
Also with the roots being watered and the grow bag wet should I bring I'm during the cool evenings and put in the dark. It's getting about 50 at night. Or just let it ride. And see what it does. Thanks for all the help
