ive been watering about every 7-9 days . only have done a feeding twice . the first time a couple weeks back i definitely overfeed them . i watered and fed them yesterday. did the light feeding with fox farms big bloom . soil is ff ocean forest . temps are about 65 at night and 75-80 during day . bulb is very far away . i have no idea what the fucking deal is ? over watering ? any help would be greatly appreciated . kosher kush looks really bad . the chocolope looks half decent, but the problem is the same . lights have been 12/12 for a couple of days now . this is not my first rodeo btw. thanks

i never really flushed the soil out either the first time i had fed them either . that should be noted

That doesn't look like FFOF soil, did you top dress it with something else? Do you PH your water?

I would let them dry out some then do a mild flush and start adding nutes at a 1/4 dose and see how they respond.

I don't ph my water because I've never had this problem before . I have another plant right now and it is flourishing. It's being watered and fed on the same schedule . And I absolutely 100 % gaurentee you that the soil is ffof. I pretty much took your suggestion already I dried them out this last time and fed them the light feeding with the big bloom . Thanks for your reply

Damn, that is a tough one. I wish I could help more. Maybe they are getting too much nutes for the amount of light they are getting. What kind of lighting are you using?

One other thought is a possible pest issue. Have you seen any fungus gnats? I got some from some FFOF and they spread some kind of fungus to the roots and eventually killed some of the plants in my veg room. Maybe get some mosquito dunks as a preventative it's a good idea anyway. Good Luck!

the darker green one looks like heat stress from lights, what lights you got, how far away and what air flow you got? The lighter green one has signs of heat stress but has other issues, possibly N def.

Here is my journal on this grow if you want to check it out . I am truly perplexed ? I have multiple grows under my belt and this is the first time I've used ff soil . Believe it or not I used to only use Scott's pre nuted soil with no problem at all lol.i think 3 things are happening to cause this . Stress from over feeding to early . Stress from when they were seedlings( I literally had to pluck the seed casing off of the kk because it was stuck on there ) . And 3 , just plain bad luck from the seeds I got . They were Fems from attitude . Just a bad pheno maybe . Anyways thanks and here is the link to my grow where you can clearly see the vintage 2006 is thriving right now .

I checked out your journal. It doesn't seem like heat stress. It has to be an issue with the nutes, the ph, or the medium. Did you add any perlite to the medium?

I know you have experience growing so probably telling you what you already know but FFOF is a "hot" soil and doesn't require a lot of nutes. That coupled with the fact you are using a 150HPS and flouros and feeding big bloom could mean the plants are getting more nutes than they can synthesize. I would stay on your current path of a dilute dose of the big bloom every other watering and see how they respond.
