1. Are you growing from seed or clones? CLONES 2. How old are your plants? BETWEEN 4-12 WEEKS 3. How tall are your plants? BETWEEN 4-18 INCHES 4. What size containers are they planted in? 1.5 GALLONS OF SOIL IN 2 GALLON POTS 5. What is your soil mix? HAPPY FROG 6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? TAP/EVERY 3-4 DAYS DEPENDS ON WEIGHT OF POT. I DONT HAVE DRAINAGE HOLES IN THE POTS SO I WATER AS NEEDED 7. What is the pH of your water? 6.0 8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? X NUTRIENTS GROW= 1.6-2.1-5.5 15ML/GAL X NUTRIENTS MICRO= 3.9-0-1.3 15ML/GAL X NUTRIENTS AMINOBLAST= 15ML/GAL PURE BLEND PROGROW= 3-2-4 7.5ML/GAL CAL MAG= 2-0-0 5ML/GAL 9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? LIGHTLY WITH LEFTOVER NUTRIENT SOLUTION 10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") 2 X 1000W-1 MH AND 1 HPS 11. How close are your lights to the plants? 24-36 INCHES 12. What size is your grow space in square feet? 5X5X6.5 13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? DAY/NIGHT=85/75 DEGREES 35%-50% RH ON THE SAME SCALE 14. What is the pH of the soil? 6.5 15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? A FEW SPIDER MITES...UNDER CONTROL WITH A WEEKLY APPLICATION OF SAFER INSECTICIDAL SOAP OR SAFER 3IN1 INSECTICIDE 16. How much experience do you have growing? ABOUT A YEAR-THIS IS MY FOURTH CROP
SO AFTER 2 FAILED HEMPY BUCKET ATTEMPTS IM BACK TO SOIL. MY FIRST CROP WAS ALL SOIL AND WAS AMAZING!!! MY LAST 2 CROPS WERE HEMPY BUCKETS AND DISAPPOINTINGLY LACKLUSTER. MY CURRENT CROP IS 1/2 NEW CLONES(PURPLE ERKEL&HAWAIIN ICE) AND THE OTHER 1/2 IS 4TH GEN MASTER KUSH CLONES FROM MY FIRST GROW.
QUESTION 1: WHATS UP WITH THE ZEBRA STRIPES AND YELLOWING LEAVES?
QUESTION 2: THE OLDER CLONES ALMOST DIED AND THESE ARE 95% NEW GROWTH I CANT BELIEVE THEY SURVIVED. SOME PULLED THRU WITH JUST 1-2 WILTED FAN LEAVES!!!!!! THEN I STARTED SEEING GREEN SHOOTS EVERYWHERE AND NOW THEY LOOK LIKE THIS. THEY'RE REALLY DENSE...IVE ALREADY TAKEN CLIPPINGS TO PRESERVE THE DNA BUT SHOULD I EVEN BOTHER GROWING THEM OUT OR ARE THEY DESTINED TO BE SHIT?

Too much nutrients would be my guess. They are in lock out at this point. You need to drill some drainage hole in the bottom of your container, and then flush them with water at a pH of 6.5 or so. 3-5 times water to soil ratio.
You're nutrient regimen is WAY too high for the stage of growth they're in. i never go over 2 mls per gallon cal mag, and that's every 4th feeding or so. At peak flowering growth my plant only get 10mls per gallon of botanicare formula every other watering. You're frying your plants homey.

okay.
(sorry bout the pic. but u get the idea)
i flushed 9 days ago. took nutes down to 400 ppm. had a burst of growth and then slowed down again. still seems to be N deficient. old growth is yellow and i got curly little leaves on top. id like to see a little more recovery before i go into floral in a week or so... any ideas?
