How long until I see improvement?

I am using organic soil (said on the bag it was preloaded with fert for like 6mo), only watering (tap water left open to the air for a while so the chlorine evaporates) when I stick my finger in an inch or two and it's dry... in a 3 gal bucket. The feminized seed grew to like 3.5 feet tall with no problems, 8wks old. I started having some issues with leaves showing signs of potassium and other nute def. I diagnosed it by using a picture chart I found posted on here. I realized the plant was root bound as well so transplanted it into a 5gal bucket. I loosened up the bottom of the roots and replanted it. I saturated it with water and let it dry out then added some fertilizer (vigoro) the leaves keep turning like the pic I've posted and dying off but there are a million little leaves growing in all kinds of places. It's been about a week. I have to add that it went to 12/12 HPS from 24hr MH in the very beginning of all this kaos so it's in flowering. Probably pretty stressful to make things worse. Been at this light cycle for like three weeks. Any advice? How long do you think it'll take to see improvement?

my leaves looked similar to this when i had nute build up in my soil.
flush hard for 3-4 waters. if u usally give it 3 gallons give it 6.
really try and flush any nutrients or salt build up in the soil.
and that should do away with the brown hardening leaves.

First you're using soil that has nutes in it (NOT ORGANIC BY THE WAY) and you're feeding it more on top of that, and to further stress her, you through her into 12/12....you may end up with some nice feminized beans cuz of all that stress .....flush this baby with about 9 to 10 gal of plain tap water like ya been doin, leavin it out for 24 hrs before using it and wait 4 to 5 days before you think about wtaer or nutes and see if that clears up....what are your temps btw? And let's get a pic of the whole plant man...lol

^ actually it can "have nutes in it" and be organic idk what makes you think otherwise...you likely helped the problem with the repot but where i think the other guy was going with his statement is that you are likely not using organic fertilizer, using organic soil with organic ferts in it then adding chemical fertilizers is going to cause the problem of not knowing exactly what the plant is able to take in right now plus the chemical ferts kill the microorganisms you need in the soil so there is no going back to organic until the next grow. also any fertilizer you can get at the local hardware store you should stay away from! especially anything time released! had you bought one of many products like the general organic go box which is a full feeding plan for a whole grow at about 35 dollars and geared toward marijuana, i would be able to say your fine once you feed but the damage will never repair just watch the new growth...what i can say now is just watch and learn the plant and do your best finishing it, see that no new leaves are turning colors and you fixed the problem but wont come out very good most likely anyway with the nutes you have chosen not to mention you most likely made other mistakes if you made those..next time follow this one sentence, tap water that has sat out about 2 days, a good full regimen from a known nute line, proper soil, and good room conditions (including a proper hid) and you cannot fail all the rest is personal preference in an effort to maximize yield and quality. any problem you have following that has a huge chance of being a deficiency and almost zero chance of being ph since you will start out properly balanced and use properly balanced nutes! just a few tips to make things simple

Whats your Ph?

I have a ph kit on the way. I realize I wasn't well prepared. This is my first grow. Going for pics now.

Temp is 70/ 60% humidity in dark and like 79/ 60 humidity in light cycle. btw I just cut off almost all the symptomatic leaves yesterday...like 20! Ugh, I hate seeing my girl like this.

whats your ph run off?

Looks like bit too much N. Try to lower your temps 5* or so, and if you can get the humidity just a bit lower, that should help as well. Does she ever get sunlight?

No natural sunlight. btw everybody I just put 10 gallons of distilled water through the soil. I know water and the purer the water the hungrier it is...so this should remove the nutes pretty well eh? I didn't have enough containers to come up with 10 gallons of tap water that could sit for 2 days to dissipate the chlorine so I went and bought these...don't tell me I screwed the pooch again...

That was smart actually.

In a few days, give it 1/4 strength nutes, and some calmag. If you dont have calmag, mix 1/2 tablespoon epsom salts in a gallon of water and feed. (room temp water always!)

You would be suprised what a few days of full sun can do. It's worth sitting around the room for a week moving plants in the sunbeam.

ph is 7.. and it's getting much better after the flush...thanks guys.
