First off...if you are really watering with soft water stop it...if its just rain water it's good....anyway...throw some zinc plated bolts or washers into your soil. Slow down the nutes...every other watering is fine....also...unless your roots have been horribly over watered dont use h2o2...not really good for the plant and if you give it too much it will die! flushing should help so you did a good thing...but get that zinc in the soil :blsmoke:

I'm not too sure about your problem yet, but i'm gonna rep+ you for being SO damn detailed in your information. Lemme see If i can come up with something, but honkey town might be on to something.

don't really know if the water is hard or soft but it is just rain water .
i also re potted about an hour ago man was she root bound . i went from a 3 gallon pot to a 5 gallon bucket with some small holes drilled in it for drainage. i went for the pink bucket do to it being a girl plant .
here is a pic of it now. also a better pic of what I'm going though

what did you mean when you said to put washers and bolts in my soil? do i just drop them in or would it be better to get some long bolts to just push into the soil ?

I mean to stick them down into the soil...or you can drop them in your water for 24 hours before you water...as far as the bucket goes...i just used a five gallon bucket for the first time and I ran into trouble with it not draining well...so make sure you have big holes for drainage. I was finding my soil would stay wet for ten days at a time...anyway...your plant looks really good except the stripes...but they will be fine. :blsmoke:

thanks for the clarification on the washers and bolts ill put some in the soil to help keep things in check . i put 12-3/8" holes around the side and 2 in the bottom do you think that will be good?

I would do a couple more in the bottom if you still can...it was a serious issue for me...so I would just be extra careful...if you have those holes get plugged up you are in trouble....btw...it's easier to put the bolts in your soil but if you can soak them for a day in your water, then ph the water it will be much better. :blsmoke:

well i looked where you told me to and sill did not find anything out about my problem I'm having with my leaves .
things are still looking about the same as it was. the leaves that are affected are stating to shrivel up . the rest of the plant is looking good . the new growth is nice and green like it always has been. I'm hoping that scene it was root bound in the 3 gallon pot that's what was going on like i said hoping .
would it be OK to remove the affected leaves ?
if i did it provide more light to the lower buds .

one thing to note when transplanting a plant that is rootbound.....tear the outer roots on the rootball a little...plants can remain rootbound even after transplant...you always wanna help the roots integrate into the new surrounding soil. Also helps to do it when to roots are very dry and make the new soil wet so the roots start to search for moisture immediately. :blsmoke:

sounds like they are doin okay with good green new growth

help tiger striped leaves!!!!!
