I hope so, it's starting to affect other strains now as well...the pic of the Chiesel is a bit yellow, but the leaf has dark purple parts turning to yellow...

Ok, as of this morning the yellowing is worse than ever on the Lemon Skunks, Cheese #1, and ? Bag Seed...both Chiesels, and the 3 Toe now have dark purple, yellow and reddish patches on their fan leaves. Everything else is also now starting to yellow from the bottom up. I have no idea what's goin' on.

Donno, never checked that...
No idea what it is going out, but going in it's very acidic, 6.2 or lower...time to start suing coal power plants for fucking up our rain.

The magnesium is being locked out due to your pH being too low
The plant cannot uptake magnesium from a pH of 2.0-6.4
pH is in the top three of most important things in a grow
You need to monitor your pH and bring it up to at least 6.5 or else the problem will only continue

Ok, I've adjusted the Ph with some stuff I've got for the fish tank, but I need a more natural long term solution, would putting a thin layer of lime on the top fix the water Ph issue over time?

Alright, I've been staring at pictures of sick plants and then at my plants for 15 minutes now, and I've got a goddamn nitrogen (Lemon Skunks, Cheese, and bag seed) and phosphorous ( both Chiesels) deficiency going on.
Does this mean I feed them more? Flush?
The Ph has been corrected and it's still getting worse. I've been feeding every 3-4 days days instead of every 2-3 because the BioTerra holds so much water and I STILL have a fungus gnat problem. Maybe they just aren't getting enough food?
I know it's " "ml per gallon, but how often? And if each plant takes 1 gallon of water, which they do right now, I've been waaaay underfeeding them.

Awesome, well, after correcting my own temporary mental retardation, I've now given the girls a round of the correct doses of nutes...it looks like I've been saving money and making my plants yellow by accidentally giving them 10-12% of the nutes they needed during flowering. Bloody christ on a stump. I now estimate that I will officially always be broke with the new estimated rate at which I will have to buy nutes. Holy fuck I'm going to need the bigger sizes. No wonder why my hydro guy wonders why I don't have to visit more often...

HTL, u have been under feeding them? how often do u water?
try using a balanced fert like 15-15-15 if its a nitro deff. and see how they do
also its good to use a low amount of nutes at first to get the plant ready for whats to come(full dose)

pH was fixed, the yellowing and purple continued to get worse. I was giving the entire grow say 15ml of BioFlores, 2ml of Rhizotonic, and 10ml of Cannazym, etc when the card actually says 15ml, 2ml, 10ml, etc per gallon. I'm using at least 8-12 gallons to water/feed them currently. oops.

also what week of flower u on?
yellowing in the lower leaves is natural after about week 4/5
and yours plants are probably ready for full dose now
