I bought this clipping out in venice CA a little while back, been feeding it a little bit of flora micro 5-0-1 just for the nitrogen boost. For a while she seemed to change back to dark green but now shes back to this :(

Should I be giving her more nitrogen? Less? none??

holy shit that is some inter node spacing on that thing is unreal! WoW! I haven't seen that before.

Ummm It looks to me like she's a little hungry... I'm thinking you have a phosphorus deficiency, seeing as how your nutes are 5-0-1. That would have to be my guess anyways. I would normally guess N, but your nutes are 5-0-1, that's what is making me think it's a (P) def...

PHOSPHORUS (P) deficiency = Slow or stunted growth, red stems. Smaller leaves that are dark green. Lower leaves yellow and die. Add chemical fertilizer containing P. Affected leaves will not show recovery but new growth will apear normal.

My $0.02 anyways

The problems seems to me to be root related, perhaps because of wet soil that may have stunted the growth of roots a little in the other two plants and a lot in the tall plant. The dark stem and spacing between nodes, accompanied with what now seems like lockout, tends to indicate over feeding, and the lack of spread of fan leaves to the edge of the pot hints towards under developed roots, roots that are growing straight to the bottom of the pot due to possible incorrect watering techniques. Watering should be thorough, and pots then should be left to complete dry out.

The combination of lots of nutrient and little root systems that have headed to the bottom of the pot (and possibly now spreading along the bottom and heading up the sides), instead of spreading out evenly could cause what we are seeing there, tall plant that is not spreading out as it normally would with normal root development, add in the over nutrient and yeah your plant will get into a little difficulty.

The solution if that were the case, is to let the plant pot completely dry out, feed just water thoroughly watering the entire pot until there is run off, then letting it completely dry out again, tinder dry, as in, so light it feels like there is polystyrene in the pot.

If you felt you needed to buy something to help your plants, look around for a rooting stim like Rhizotonic as an example, and feed that to your plant with each watering until the plants roots bounce back and begin to spread out normally in the pot. The indicator of this is that middle and lower fan leaves will begin to spread out to the edge of the pot, even growing over the sides of the pot.

Also do you know what strain it is, it seems quite different in genetics to the other two.

That hadn't even crossed my mind, but it's a very very good point! Listen to this guy, he's a smart one! kiss-ass

Yes, all three strains are different, its my 2nd home grow operation. the far left is OG Kush, I took it off my first plant which is now in its final flowering stage. The Middle plant is Sour Cream and the tall guy is super silver haze

It is very important that from now onward you let those roots dry out between waterings. Also thorough watering when you do water so as to allow moisture to be evenly distributed throughout the soil. Also if you haven't done so already, those lights need to be right down as close as you can to the plants, and have fans blowing air in there as it is easy for plants to lack air when growing inside a container that is inside another container.

They recently just dried up, so I did what you said and they are doing great!! New branches are beginning to form along with new leaves. thx bro
