Problems with white widow

Hi all! I new here and trying my first plant. White widow four weeks into flowering. As you will see from my pics all of the fan leaves turned yellow and dropped. This was in the last three days when I was away. I gave them the dreaded miracle grow 24-8-16 before I left and we had three really warm days. I would really appreciate any help.

Cheers all!!

she looks over watered and watch the remarks on the Miracl-Gro, the MG Posse will come and hunt you down for talking bad. I would flush it for a few days or change soil/transplant and watch it come back to life.

I have grown White Widow several times. What I have noticed is that with WW is that you do NOT need nearly as much in the way of nutes that you would ordinarily feed your plants with. From your pictures I would say that they are definitely stressed out. What I would do is to flush your plants with plenty of ph balanced water to eliminate any problems you may have with nute uptake issues or root issues. Then maybe treat with something like Neem Oil to treat any fungus related issues you may have, particularly in the roots ( kind of looks like a root fungus from the pictures)
I just picked up a package of ACTINOVATE that I hope to use on my plants to control fungus problems. My Hydro store gal swears by it. Expensive but a little goes a long way.At least thats what she said. We shall see. It says that it will work on root fungus as well as leaf and bud fungus issues.
After all that is taken care of, try feeding her at half strength to see what happens.

The leaves at bottom of plant start yellowing and go up the plant. Its a fungus. Similar to nitrogen def.

Thanks all! I'm going to treat for fungus, over nutrition and over watering. Wow fast response here!!! As a first time grower it's really hard not to over water/nute! Just seems like the right thing to do.

Cheers and thanks again!

Good luck with the WW! How far along are you? I'm in Atlantic Canada, so I guessing I'm at a disadvantage.

Do you think this is worth trying?

Fungus disease is often caused by too much water and not enough air circulation. Another common reason is that foliage remains damp too long. It takes 8 hours of moisture for a fungus to insert it's feeding tube into leaf cells. If the infection is not too advanced, correcting these conditions may halt the spread of the fungus and blighted parts of the plant can be removed.
Fungi need moisture, certain specific temperatures, and a certain pH range to be present before it can propagate. Sodium Bicarbonate prevents fungus from thriving by creating a toxic surface. The fungi remain dormant waiting for suitable conditions.
You can change the plant's location and growing conditions in addition to spraying it with the following preparation.
3 tablespoons baking soda mixed with 3 tablespoons oil (horticultural, vegetable, olive, or corn) mixed with a few drops of dish washing liquid in a gallon of water. Spray the entire plant, repeated applications may be necessary.
This preparation has been shown to prevent blackspot, various grass fungi, and powdery mildew. Some plants are hypersensitive to oil so test the oil on a portion of one leaf and wait 24 hours before you spray the entire plant. It has been said that this solution is not a cure as it may not kill the fungi, but it is a preventative measure that has been shown to work well.

Man, it is the blind leading the blind in here...

What a bunch of bad advice. You do not have a fungus problem. If so, which fungus? Why would it turn your leaves yellow and why from the bottom? That is ridiculous.

Secondly, why is the plant wilted as hell? Did you forget to water it and let it get droopy some time, say, last week?

It is clearly nitrogen deficient and drought stressed.
