I had the samethign happen with one of my plants.. are you giving it to much nutrients? like is there salt build up on the top soil when you go to water it??

no salt buildup, but i was doing some reasearch earlier and had the same idea, so right before i taped that i poured 2 litres of fresh water on each to flush it. should i use more water that that for outdoors? it took it down pretty easily.

i was also wondering about the lack of yellowing leaves, it seems that by now id have alot more ellow leaves, even for the size of the buds i have, these are getting a fan leaf turn yellow maybe once every 3 weeks.

Are you confident that there is enough nutrients in the soil for the plant?

Are you maybe watering too much and not allowing sufficient oxygen in the soil?

Just thinking...

im going to take a guess. i say guess cause the video left out alot. is that clay spoil it looks like it. im going to say root bound. also that roof. is holding in moister. and there prob sitting in water since its clay soil. give some more info on your set up. you cant really tell with out all the facts.

alright here goes... the soil doesnt have that much clay in it, id like to say 10-30% but im no scietnist so thats a guess. the roof is about 1 foot above the tallest one, and ive never seen moisture on the roof, always dry even when its been raining its been dang dry under their. ive been slowing down if anything on my waterings, especailly in the last few weeks, ive gone maybe 1ce a week, and giving them only about 1 L each. im using general hydroponic nutrients 3 part mix( flora grow, flora micro, and flora bloom). ive completley stoped adding the grow and only been putting in the micro, and the bloom, as well as 1tbs of phosphorus bat guano into 1gal water. ive been using tap water this whole time though maybe thats doing somehing? ive never checked ppm but my ph is always pretty descent.

They need more light, cut down the trees...lol. Try using the dull side of aluminum foil stapled to cardboard 4/reflection. It won't do much with those trees in the way, but that should change once the leaves drop I assume.

The horrible noise in the video that some refer to as "music" is what is stunting their growth. :)

so you think its the light? i have been wondering about that. i think im going to take a look and see what can be taken down without it making it too noticable. would 6 hours be sufficient,if it wernt being blocked as much? i wont be able to give it 100% but i can probly get 50 -60 maybe. but after the 6 hours there no chance of light, it gets very shady.

If you can get away with removing tree limbs, by all means do so. Our rapidly declining sun strength is an issue. November's arrival forces me to use supplemental lighting until mid-February.

I have a historical home with original 100 year old glass, this allows me to use the second floor as a make-shift sun room. Sunglasses were not even invented until the 1920's, then energy efficient windows followed...windows designed to block UV waves. So, I have an advantage that most do not. However, even with full sun in December flowering is not an option w/o additional lighting. I can do it, but would wind up with your current problem.

Now get out the chain saw!...j/k.

As stated...........not enough direct sun light i believe is your issue as i have had the same thing with some plants tossed out doors.They did just like yours,getting around 4-5 hrs of direct sun with tree branches getting in the way here an there.

well i guess my next move is to head down and see what can be done. no point taking the plants down IMO i would rather keep them up and see if theyll start back up, might be too late , i dont know lol.
i also want to use some hydrogen peroxide been reading that it will heklp with oxygen if my problem was overwatering, nad didnt really see anywhere that it would hurt. does anyone kniow the amounts to suse per amount of water? i have 3%hydrogen peroxide

Bullshit about the direct sunlight . My plants get direct sunlight from 12-5 . ... The buds grow and it shows . Look at my last post . I'll do an update tomorrow to show you buds grow under a few hrs . Buy a moist. Meter . They have a long stick that you drive into the ground . That helped me not to over water or under water :) . Some strains take months to flower member that and some keep small buds but end up being the best out there ... The more direct sunlight means better yields tho but I'm sure you know that :) .
