not enough light is what i would say. lower lights so they almost touching without burning.

Are you over watering? U need to only water those every 3 days. dig down with your finger to see how moist it is. Are you checking your ph with a ph kit? How warm is the environment? do u have a fan on them? what soil is that?

yes i use the three inch method to test when i need to water and water enough so that 10 percent runs out the bottom....ferts im using for sick one is dr. hornbys iguana grow juice. lighting is as good as it is going to get for now but i do always keep them as close as possible without burning.. ph is fine b4 and after water leeches thru. so technically feed her more? or shuld i just flush her and try to start over on her? any help is appreciated as this is my first problem ive had...my lady in flower looks good she had same symptoms as seedling but grew out of it.:joint::blsmoke:

Ok guys I heres an update. I figured out the problem!! I waited a few days and the plants would not get better after the flush at all. I ended up testing the pH of my drainage water to find out it was way over 6.8 even though the water I was giving it had a pH of 6.8. This was very confusing to me until I realized that vinegar was doing this. I did a test where I mixed vinegar with water and got a pH of 6.8. I left that water out for 2 days and tested the pH again and it was up to 9. Lesson learned, FUCK VINEGAR! haha. It's too unstable. I went out and bought some pH down for $16 and I have transplanted the plants in bigger pots today. I'll keep yall updated on how the plants do with these adjustments.

Problem has been solved. It was the vinegar. My plants are growing at an exponential rate compared to before. Ive seen a new node every day.
