So my plants are 30 days old. They were really doing well about a week ago, but I have notice some serious degrading of the plants. I currently use flora nova grow. They could have a potassium problem, but I think I gave them to much nutrients. I only did a feeding once a week, but I guess that was way to much. I did a couple of flushes over the past 2-3 days. The are extremely healthy, but I can tell they are starting to die. Can I please get some help.

Are you watering until you have drainage from the pots? When you use bottled nutrients you need to water until you have a little water in your saucer, then get rid of that water or your plants will soak it back up and it messes up your soil.

That's not burn. Looks like deficiency caused by underwatering and lack of nutrients.

Like the previous poster said, water to 30% runoff with nutrients every feed and they'll improve in a week.

I water once a week with the nutrients. I divided equally a gallon of water between the 4, and just gave a tiny bit to the small one. They did hold quite a bit of water and they don’t dry out very fast. I used air pots, so I thought I wouldn’t have a problem. But I guess I’m overwatering because the medium is still wet when I try and give a feeding the prior week. They are supposed to flip to flower on the 1st. Even if they get back on track by then it’s going to be a very small grow and that’s assuming that I have mostly female. I’m running 4 red’s and 1 fem. even the little fem just stopped growing, I really just don’t understand. I baby these plants and watch them eveyday. I don’t understand how I did such a bad job

Don't water on a specific schedule, water based on needs. Easiest is to learn what the pot feels like when it's just been watered, and when it's just about dry. You get a feel for it after a while. Eventually you'll probably be watering daily if you let them get big enough.

Don't get discouraged, I think most of us nearly killed our first plants with too much care. Overwatering is easily the main killer of cultivated plants; you're in good company.

I have been nursing them everyday now, and I waited quite a while and now have started to water again over the past 2 days just to saturate. I did include flora nova grow, but just a very small dose. I got a dehumidifier for my tent because when I water it’s like 80% humidity and only goes down to around 65 which is way to high. Do I have a chance to save them?

Of course you do.....they don't look bad at all.

The little one is doing worse everyday, and the leaves are starting to turn yellow on the bottom leaves and die off. Plus there are white spots stating to appear on one of the plants. Everyday they are getting worse. I don’t understand. There is nothing I could have done this bad to kill them. But they are dying
