danny 909 Most of the other guys nailed it on the head. There is no way a plant that size in that size of pot could not run out of N by now. All so being in the 909 area code , Sanberdo ? It gets really hot and couple that with a black pot in the sun they get heat stroke too. Get some N on her and some bennie tea to help the root zone. Bury your pots.

Just for laughs:

Was outside giving the girls a drink, my mom swings by to ask a question and in mid sentence she stops and asks "Do you smell blueberry muffins"...I give her a sly look. "Well do you smell them or not" she asks again, "Mom...it's the plants".
"Oh, well that's something, I always thought they were beautiful but now they smell like my blueberry muffins, so what are you stoners going to come up with next...chocolate chip?" she jokes.

Also to danny909.

If you gave me those plants today. I would go buy two bags of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and some perlite. I would dig out a big hole and fill the hole up with fox farms. (not sure if I would transplants or cut the bottom of the pot out) Anyway ask around what would be best then take action. Let those plants stretch the legs. I am leaning this way for the size of your stalks in those pots.

Also look into what that one plant has the claw foot curl in the leafs. You can do a little test. It's called the heft method. Just lift up your pot. You can tell when they need water for the pot will be lite. Then after you water good do the heft test again. You will see how much more heavier the pot is. You said you give gallon a day. In your heat I can see that for sure. But that being said you have the claw leaf curl. Only a few reason that cause that. The others on not on the top of my head right now. But address that for sure. Those leafs should be perking up like your other plant. Heat stress will curl the leafs but not like a claw if I remember right. 90% of the time I see claw leafs in overwatering.

If you hang dry the whole plant and have a large harvest where to many jars can be a problem burping I like to use turkey oven bags. Once dry on the stock ( not crispy dry) you can cut the flowers off the stems and put in the bags and tie close. The bags will breath when closed burping for you . you can then fine trim at your leisure on your cured buds . http://www.bing.com/shopping/hefty-ez-oven-bags-turkey-size-2ct-00r87802/p/F7FA66AEDA46761F5012?q=turkey+roasting+bags&lpf=0&lppc=16&lpq=turkey+roasting+bags&FORM=CMSPEG
don't keep them in turkey bags too long.. it will dry the shit outta the buds

Ok guys idunno if im wrong but my plants seem on the yellow side they dont seem green green like everyone else's am I doing sonething wrong there in 7 gallon potsi water them everyday with a 1 gallon jug. Idunno if its to little or what...alot of the leaves turns yellow.. some of the leaves have burned tips not all but some on plants. I really dont know what to do.. any ideas... I havent been giving them any nuts.. I just startes actually with flowering nuts..thanks
If those were mine, I would give them some nitrogen. Flowering nutes (depending on their NPK) might make that yellowing worse.

well keep them in the pots then. Feed some N and let the one with claw leafs dry out. Keep watering the perky leafs like you been doing. Also when I am trying to figure out problems like this I like to test one plant at a time. But in this case I would give all of them some N. But you can try one with some N and see what if it gets greener. If it does N the others. Also when feeding ferts for the first time always half dose it the first few times.

all so if you cant afford soil at least put your pots in the ground for heat reasons or cut the bottoms out even most native soil is better then not.. If you are moving put them in the ground without transplanting or cutting the bottoms off and once again if short on cash go get them a 6.00 box of miracle grow. If you move pull your pots out of the ground and put them in a wardrobe box and take them with you. Be sure to look for a new place based upon growing. lol

Yeah man if I was on a tight budget I would dig some pot sized holes, loosen up a bunch of the soil in the bottom, cut the bottoms off those pots ( if they're staying in place ), and basically bury the pot. Then I would go get some basic all purpose fertilizer with plenty of nitrogen and feed them at half strength. The ground will also keep the pots cooler and you probably won't have to water as often.

those potato bugs aren't gonna hurt nothing, ( they creep me out too and most bugs don't ) Not sure how much a white shirt will help but you can try. The other thing is to put your pot inside of a bigger pot (clay is best) and fill in between the two with dirt as a insulator.
