What's your diagnosis? And what's the prognosis? Pics

Hey out there!
Some of my plants are very pale-light green to yellow.
They have been like this for some time now.
Some of leaves on all the plants seem to have a little nute burn.
The PH of the soil is about 6.8. I've been giving them distilled water and adjusting it accordingly.

:confused:
My question is what can be wrong with these plants? Will they come back? Could it be deficiency or nute burn? Is a problem with initial-overwatering?

Here's the scoop:
I started them in Fox Farms Ocean forest under flourescents and about 3-4 hours of direct sunlight per day inside the house for about 3 weeks; I gave them some Maxicrop Liquid Seaweed as well. They were in an area that was slightly more humid but, never above 65% humidity; they definitely needed water less often and I may have over watered (since I did not have a soil moisture meter during the first three weeks)
Then, I moved them to the grow room (which was under construction) they have been in this room for about 3 weeks now under a 1000w HID. The temp range is between 60 and 78 degrees and the humidity is between 35% and 55%
I first started giving them extra nitrogen in the soil using bat guano and Organicare nitrogen and foliar feeding them with Dark Energy. I've done this about 3 times.
I saw strange discoloring on some of the leaves and thought they might be getting nute burn and flushed them once with purified water and Clearex.

Please Check out the photos and let me know what your opinions are. This is my first indoor grow and It's really starting to get me worried.
I don't know if it's possible to bring these plants back to perfect health or not.
They seem to have been in veg for long enough; I'd love to start them flowering ASAP so they don't get too big for my one light. Plus, I can't wait to smoke and the electricity is adding up.

So, What is your diagnosis and what is the prognosis?

Thank you all in advance :peace:

Thanks, for the response.

Hopefully over watering did not adversely effect the roots on these girls!
Should I pull the plant out of the pot to check the roots?

I'll adjust the PH down next time.
Do think I should add the Clearex as well on the next watering?
Best,
MR
 
hell no less water i water usallly onces a week or 1 onces eveery 2nd week wait to the soil has a grey that mean it needs water they be fine less water and it work ur leaves ur turn back and raise upwards
 
ok dude it is super hard to over water as long as you have the right drainage, make sure that each pot has at least 5 half inch holes spaced evenly on the bottom so there is no chance for water to sit at the bottom of it. but I would make usre you have the right amount of micro nuts. could be a zinc or manganese deficiency. and for ph in soil it can be from 5.5 to 6.5 I have had mine in 6.0 - 6.5 for months and they are all over 3 feet and flowering super healthy
 
There are holes in the bottom of the pots. However, they may have retained too much water before they were transfered form a more humid and cooler environment to the grow room.
I have given them a little Organic care Fulvex on several waterings which has both magnesium and magnesuim as well. I previously thought that they may have had a whole slew of deficiencies.
So, I may have overdone it with too much care.
Seeing the overall paleness in color, I previously suspected Nitrogen deficiency as the major culprit but, they had what seems to be plenty of that by now.
 
well...first off i would like to say that i am by no means saying that the advice given is wrong but, that is not over watering.

it looks alot like nutrient burn.

when you over water the leaves become droopy almost sawgy like and your leaves (although they are yellow) do not look sawgy or droopy.

what i would recommend is to flush every other day for 1 week and then ease in the nutrients, the last thing you want to do is stun the plant or damage the roots. Start by doing 1/4 of the nutrients so on and so forth.

heres a website that helps alot with those kinds of plant problems :http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks-ThankYou.htm

Hope i could be of some help.
 
Thanks 0ptipl3x,
That guide is helpful. According to that it does not appear to be overwatering.
It also looks like some nute burn as well.
One interesting thing though is the overall light green or yellow of some the plants.
It seems as though I've given them enough nitrogen.
I could be wrong though, it may be some nute lockout because of the PH being too high.
Any more advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks All

no problem dude, any time. and yeah you might want to buy one of those ph testing kits or w/e and then test your ph. make sure it is between 6.5-6.8 (atleast i think this is proper ph for soil growth)

Ps: when testing the ph of your growing medium dont pick a little bit of the soil and then do the testing (i have done this lol). just flush your plants and collect the drained water and with that water you do your ph testing.

Best of luck!
