Ok, I read all the info I could find on sick plants, but I'm still having some trouble figuring out how to get my plants back to healthy (and buds bigger) and not f**ing anything up.
Setup: 3 white widow plants, indoor grow, about 6 1/2 weeks into flowering, in MG moisture control soil (all I could find) under soft white flouro tubes. Used MG Bloom Booster every 10 days for flowering cycle, gave it a little more than recommended. Also foliar fed them a few times...
Switched to molasses after plants starting showing signs of necrotic (brown to orange-ish) veins on fan leaves, clawing, raised margins and burnt leaf tips (some tips now curling up slightly).
Necrosis has spread to interveinal spots and more leaves in the last week or so, but seems to be holding off (I think) since I used only pure water instead of the last scheduled fertilizing.
Also, a number of larger fan leaves have been drooping, especially w/ one of the smaller plants that looks to be farther ahead in flowering. She is showing the worst of it. These are the pics from that plant; the drooping looks like a symptom of overwatering (at least to my untrained eye).
But I'm currently only using about 1 gallon total to water these girls-- which is now about once every 5-6 days. Isn't that below avg.? Will it f*** up the plants if I use a lot more to flush?
(Also-- my camera made the plants appear a lighter shade of green than they actually are...the brown/dead spots are actually worse than they look)
Other possibly relevant info: I had an infestation of fungus gnats, which I'm treating w/ a sticky trap and by covering the surface of the soil w/ sand. Upper leaves look to have a deep green, almost dull-bluish tint, plus older stems are reddish--possible potassium deficiency? Are some nutes getting locked out by the MG? Also, only upper leaves are showing necrosis...
Thanks in advance for wisdom & advice. Definitely much needed, this is my first grow...
