Brilliant thanks very much, I've noticed a little discoloration on some of the leaves I this anything I should worry about
Here's a full view looks good to me what do you think?

Looks like Potassium deficiency and magnesium deficiency. Either caused by underfeeding Mg and K. It could also be caused by lockout? But it doesn't look like it. Because despite your leaves being somewhat dark, I don't see any clawing. They don't really look overwatered, either. Give it some Mg and some K. Give it a feeding of all nutes if you really want, but I don't think it needs anymore N right now.
Mg, K, and P. Focus on those if you haven't fed them in a while. Maybe the stretch of it used up all your nutes. Are you in flower, or veg?

It's in veg at the moment week 7, hmmm I've been using Dutch pro A+B so I'm not sure how I can split the nutrients, do I have to go buy them?

No, not necessarily. Do you at least have CalMag? Something with Magnesium in it? And you can probably feed like, 1/2-1/4 strength of your normal nutes or something. When did you feed last?

At the minute the only additives I have are Dutch pro Grow A+B, Bloom A+B and there Explode stuff, there is a grow shop within 200metres of my house tho so I can easily pick something up when I need

That is not the way to test soil PH. You can get false readings.
I noticed the leaves losing color in your 1st post Sunday and unfortunately it is progressing. I hope you guys figure it out. I only grow in 3 gallon plastic pots and I'm not familiar with the different type of bags. Does the bag your using for the big plant drain?

Yes the bag does drain it's got drain holes in the bottom I'll have a little read about and see what I can find out elsewhere and see if I can get something at the shop down the road

Ok, I'm taking a quote from your Sunday post:
"I've been watering it every other day with the nutrients he's given me"
I'm not sure but if your in soil and watering every other day with fertilizer, then I'm thinking you may be over fertilizing.
I'm not familiar with the fertilizer you use or it's content but you may want to explore more information on how to water in soil with that fertilizer.

I didn't read that part. You definitely shouldn't be fertilizing every day. It is N causing lockout, then, because I definitely see symptoms of K and Mg def. I'm just surprised there's no claw. But lockout makes sense.
You should only fertilize once a week, in small amounts.

Ok brilliant thanks very much, I'd only followed my friends instruction with regards to how much to use, had a little read and the amount he'd told me to give them equated to roughly a third of what it suggested once a week and I'd been spreading that across the week, I will be trying the official way with the bloom when I start it. What I've decided to do it give it a week of just water and flip to 12/12 next weekend probably. The little plants now have the 125 light above them too and are taking well to the LST I'm trying so will also switch there nutrient watering to the official routine once they've have a week of water too

Right after a few little problems last week I have been carefully monitoring my babies and this is where I stand, the three in my cupboard were suffering the same as the big ones thinking nutrient burn been giving them a flush for the week and there looking healthy and strong and taking some bending and tying very well. One of them had been topped and I'm planning on taking a shoot either way round the pot, the other I haven't topped and I'm going to get that one all the way round here they are what do you guys think
The big baby has also been having a flush, but that one is going into flower on Saturday so hopefully will see some nice changes in the next few weeks

It's all new to me and I just want to make them as comfy as possible, the main stem on both of those I did the squeeze and roll between fingers thing and definitely noticed a difference within a week, had bulked up nicely, one thing I want to know is the one I have topped should I take off the fan leaves directly below the new shoots or would this harm the plant? Cheers in advance
