Possible issue with plants

[Shadytrees88]

was wonderin if anyone could tell me if there is a problem with these two plants i got ...
The one has some small yellow spots on the leaves and if u look from the under side u can see the spots more so , they also look dry vs shiny waxy the other looks good with no spots but the tips of the leaves r twist in some what , I have 400w hps , 200 California ligh works full cycle and a 50 Wat illumitex , temp is 75 and humidity is 30 to 50 percent , I'm feeding half strength nutes GH NUTES , rapid start , grow a and b , diamond nectar , florolicoius plus , and was wonderin also if I should transplant them to the 3 gal pots , I have 4 other plants week younger that look great these two just seem as if they r needing something . I thought I may have burnt them so I been doin a water only for the last few days ..

They are rootbound. Transplant ASAP!

That's what I was thinkin , I just transplanted to 5 gallon containers ... Is that what the spots on the leaves r from lack of nutes cause of root bound ... Why do the leaves twist for never have seen that before which its been 3 years since I've had a grow

Other wise do they look ok they seem darker then normal .

When plants become rootbound, they act like sons of bitches! They can even give you middle fingers! Seriously!

Heard that ,, so does the color look ok they seem rather dark to me

The most common problem with newbs is overwatering. If you are checking on your plants daily then why drown them , right? Make sure you give them enough water to dry out in 2-3 days..this helps incorporate a feeding schedule when its time to start feeding. overwatering sufficates roots and then the plant cannot uptake nutrients causing all sorts of issues. Go light on the water till you dial it in as the plant grows

I think you're feeding too much. Your shiny dark leaves may be due to nitrogen overdose. What EC are you feeding at? And what's your medium?

 

[Shadytrees88]

I'm feeding 1/4 strength, using GH A,b . Rapid start , diamond nectar, floralicious plus , PH AT 6.4 , using happy frog and ocean forest , only have fed one time .

There is nothing good in feeding when your plant doesn't need it! Especially in FFOF & FFHF, which are rich in macro and micro nutrients (even more than enough).

So with that being said bout the happy frog and ocean forest being hot hot . Should I cut back my mix from 50/50 to like 70/30 until transplant ...sucks I had to quit for 4 years due to women and work forgot a lot of the lil things but y'all been great help for sure ...

I think your mix is fine, as far as you don't add any extra nutrients.

What is FFOF AND FFHF...

FoxFarm Ocean Forest & FoxFarm Happy Frog.

Even with those plants being as old as they are when should nutes be applied , or what is a good starting time

Best time for adding nutes to your medium is when your plants need nutrients and those dark thick leaves indicate that your plants need to be left alone. I can't give you an accurate timing here. I can only suggest that you start feeding with very low levels of nutes whenever needed, maybe 15% of the recommended dosage, and see how your plants react. They will tell you how they like it.

One dose of 1/4 strength was all I gave em but they have had couple doses of water no nutes and was transplanted to bigger containers
