I watered with Jack's Classic "all purpose" 20-20-20 plant food friday afternoon. Maybe i was wrong in mixing 1 1/2 teaspoons to two gallons??? (approx 1/2 tablespoon) On the tub its says one tablespoon to every gallon.... Plants are yellowing from the inside youngest leaves out, so this doesnt quite exactly sound like nute burn but idk...(oh yeah as u can see plants still getting eaten by something...)

My first thoughts.....verey very quickly stop useing well water...I'm from the deep south country so I know a lot about well water, I grew up drinking it at my gramaws house when I was a little boy..found out later as I got older..well water can contain ALL SORTS of parasites and micro organism that can kill ur plant...well water can be very bad for ur plant...on the other hand, a well maintained well can be just the thing ur plant needs. Do some test on the water.

It might be the well water idk, i too live in the south

Whats strange is that my last grow was decent for first time bagseed grow i guess, and i used the same well water.... Thats why i thought it was the ferts since ive never used them before, and,, i just watered for the first time with this: http://www.jacksclassic.com/all_purpose.html

Did you leave it out at night and the temps get down into the 50's and does the yellowing seem to diminish a little later during a sunny day ? If yes it may be temp shock.
