One of thw babies look so sick!!!
I have no idea what happened to her! I treat them all the same.
Last time i watered them i noticed the soil in this pot had shrinked, i watered it with mineral water.
Is it possible it is being heated more than normal?
Could this be a heat stress?
I also noticed some pigeon manure on one of the leaves and some in the soil, could pigeons damage the plant like this??

Hello from Lebanon also! Currently on a grow too, growing Cheese & Applejack outdoors. I believe you should water with tap water/running water, i don't think drinking water/mineral water will cut it. It might be a heat issue, usually what you want to do is keep them in an area where they get at least 2/3 hours of shade (This country is too damn hot, though for the last couple days its been really freaking cloudy). Also you might want to stay cautious of spider mites in this country also, i had an infestation on my plants last month, i eradicated them using Trinidad Scorpion Moruga peppers sliced and brewed with water. I filled the solution in a spray bottle and sprayed the bottom & top leafs including the soil and the sides/bottoms of the pots (did that once a week for 3 weeks). About the pigeon manure, you sure it wasn't some kind of fungus? I'm no expert i can tell you that, but just sharing what i've been through and hopefully this helps. Cheers :)

Glad to see another local grower. Dude i'm freaking out! Another plant is wilting too with browning leaves that are sooo weak now!
All plants will be fed tomorrow morning.
Ur also right about mites. I already sprayed the whole terrace 2 weeks ago as a precaution. My plants don't have mites.
Ur lucky u know ur strain, i found mine in a bag of good quality outdoor weed. I could find a seed or 2 in each ounce so i collected them and decided to experiment.
So i'll try the feeding and we'll see from there.
Goodluck for ur grow bro

For the water source, its nestle mineral water this week and tap water the other week. I hope the diversity of water source can give the little plants all its micro nutrients.
As for the shade, i really wish i can give them that!
I'm sure about the pigeons, they always shit on my car!! :wall:

I watered the plants with pure water, waited half an hour then gave them a full watering with nutriments. I will know by tomorrow morning if my plants were hungry/thirsty which i started to doubt since the symptoms appeared first on bigger plants then day by day on smaller ones (which needs less water and transpire less).

Don't feed them it will put just more stress , look at the other side of the leaves if you find mites or eggs you should eradicate them , but probably it is heat stress , put them in a spot with more hours of shade .

No no mites at all mate. I can't put them anywhere else as well. Temperatures did not exceed 79 F (26 C) during the day and it is naturally lower at night (around 70 F or 20 C) i would be really shocked if they were stressed by heat.
If they cannot withstand this, then they will be cooked in the next couple of months as temperatures exceed most of the time 90 F (32 C)!!
The only thing i can do is to place wooden plates underneath the pots instead of the asphalt roof to lessen heat reflection and increase watering frequency (i already did both). I hope they survive. If they don't then i'm leaving this country

Why do you leave if they don't survive? mother nature is just like that there have to be some sacrifices ,I hope they make it through but fertilizing them now isn't a good idea ,

Pictures this morning.
I also sprayed them with pesticide.
Plants look slightly better
You might want to dry out the leafs since it rained a few hours ago; if you keep those tiny drops of water on the leafs, the sun will burn the spot on your leaf. Also i noticed in your last image (besides the rain drops) that the very bottom leafs seem to be getting eaten by some pests/insects. I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like bite marks. Be careful of leaf-miners, i had those last year on my crop it ruined all my vegetative stages of my plants. What they do is they start chewing on the leafs and start moving around in the leaf from left to right to top to bottom.

Here i am again. No rain as forcasted. So last night i watered my plants with ph:7 mineral nestle water. I found it to be the richest in metals, magnesium and calcium. I also added half the recommended dosage of fertilizer.
Plants are healthy today.
Pictures attached.

Cheers
mineral water will cause problems. they will get root-bound quickly in those little pots, especially outdoors.

Ohhh! I just remembered that i sprayed the leaves with water for the first time before noticing the yellowing! I thought they like to shower and stay clean :( i will definetly dry them as soon as i come back to them. I am so lucky it was raining and cloudy all day!!
Those arent drops of water, that's pesticide. Its a precaution for mites and other stuff.
I know for sure that birds are munching the leaves. Each time i come to the roof, i scare at least a dozen of them.Building a net or other stuff will attract more attention by neighbors to the mj plants.

I alternate between tap water and mineral water. I even use 2 sources of tap water. I finally decided to quit mineral water to cut costs.
Regarding the size of my pots, my next transplant is due in 2 weeks. They will have unlimited root space in the ground.
Thank u all for ur suggestions!

Heat on the container may become a problem..I have always transplanted to the Earth on My outdoor grow's.I have even buried the bucket's before but I prefer the garbage bag...Never less than 8 Gal of mix for Flower(The Bigger the roots, the bigger the fruit's)...Trust Me, roots hate the heat...

Thanks hydro for the tip. I placed those old wooden plates from one side and marble tiles on the other to reduce pot heat.
Transplant is due soon, so i hope no problem.
I am almost convinced that spraying water on the leaves may have caused those burns as suggested by HXCplayer.
