http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/Thanks-ThankYou.htm --this should help..kinda of looks like heat stress..
but it also looks like it started at the tips and moved down the leaves..take a look at potassium..if nothign else you can flush the soil..before it gets to bad..or flush and cut off the funky leaves..
i have had this problem and completely cut off 85% of the leaves and the plant came back strong and full

why would anyone cut off 85% of the leaves? that is just crazy. those leaves are chock full of nutes the plant can use. and there is no reason to flush-the deficiency will get worse. no offense, but some pretty lame advice.
does look like a K deficiency. 4 months is getting pretty old-when do u plan on flowering? try adding some bloom nutes in your mix-higher in K than your MG.

lol dude..i wasent telling him to cut off the leaves..i said that i bounced back..he is using MG soil which causes build up thats why i said flush..but also if you flush it will release more nute MG is just a pain sometimes..
EDIT: and if you saw the leaves..you would have done the same
they were gone completely but thanks though

It was def a nute problem. I stoped using miricle grow nutes and started using super bloom and she is looking awesome now. I will be posting new pics soon! Also i have the lighting on 18-6 now . Anyone know how long to do that when should i switch to 12-12?

yes dude, relooking at those pics, shows signs of P K mg deficiencies. u r using the super bloom but what are you using for Nitrogen? Im pretty sure the NPK ratio is low in N. They will need a decent amount of nitrogen and the other elements from a grow forula on top of the bloom-very much so the first 3-4 weeks of flowering.
u can change to 12/12 anytime. 24/24 or 18/6 poses no issues to change immediately to 12/12
you will need a complete food source for them. wherever u got the tiger bloom I think they make a grow formula as well as part of 3 part series. just dont overdue the grow during flowering-use half as recomended at most than dwindle it down to 1/2 towards harvest.

Flush before you feed. If they are months old, then the soil probably has a salt buildup. I know MG soil releases nutes, but not much at 4 months, so flush away. Then add nutes. You may be experiencing a lockout and adding nutes would hurt. Flush then feed.

i went to check on my plant and all the leaves were droopy. It got cold so i put a heater on it and check the next day and it was worse!! So i re potted it and when i pulled it out of the pot that it was in all of the roots were bound up and could not stretch out anymore. I re potted it and now i am just waiting hopefully she doesnt die. None of the leaves are damaged in any way or look bad just completely drooped. Any advise would be awesome!!!! thank you!!!

Transplant will help dozens. dont be discouraged if they dont grow for awhile as they were disturbed during transplant. Flush though, it cant hurt and salt build up is common after a month, let alone 4 months. Lamp.
