My mother plant looks sick, any ideas?

Since you are in soil, any sort of dry amendment or compost tea fix will have a delayed effect. Not saying this is not a great route, it will just take some time.

If you want to get that plant healthy as quickly as possibly, make sure your ph is on, grab a liquid nutrient like Pure Blend Pro and start at quarter strength, move your way up, make sure you are allowing for dry(er) periods of time allowing for the best environment for your soil system. If you are over-watering, or watering too often, baddies are going to take over, and by then it will be hard as fuck to turn the bus around.

You are allowing for dryish periods, correct?

OK.

What are your root zone temps? If the floor you are growing on is ice cold, and your root zone temp is lower, the plants ability to uptake nutrients will be severely limited or halted completely. Hps can create a lot of heat, but a tent sitting on top of a basement floor can create an ice-cold rhizosphere, slowing down the soil food web, and thus nutrient cycling.
She’s in a pretty warm room tbh

anyone think she could be too close to the light? All the stuff on the bottom looks fine the stuff up top looks a little purplestemmy and woody

Yeah I let her dry out I water every 3 days or so she’s usually dry by the 2nd day
 
If someone gave me a million dollars if I could guess in four guesses, what it could be...without knowing anything, not being able to see the plant in real time, ect...Also, who the fuck knows what is true, or what details were part of a dream or a trip you thought was reality, ect...

1. Rootbound. Needs to be up-potted.
2. Baddies have taken over after over-watering for a period of time. Allow a decent dry period, apply compost tea, then keep up with good practices.
3. Nutrients within the soil are depleted, you need to move to a larger pot with fresh soil, or start a liquid nutrient.
4. Just slightly underfed. Not a big deal.

Best of luck! I truly hope you figure it out! bongsmilie

Now that I am giving that plant a 2x-3x over it might just be the inner stuff that didn't receive much light, then when you cut out some tops for clones, they were exposed, and they look a bit rough.
Have certainly seen that before. No biggie. Just get some underlight, side light, lower lights, or cut out more inner stuff/lowers and don't even worry about it. IMO

Looks like the tent is on carpet.

Carpets can be cold too. <3

If I were to setup a grow, with a tent, in my ice cold basement, even an hps would not jump up the temp at the root zone, even with a zipped up tent. Some basements just have cement foundation with a single layer of carpet. So you set the pot on top of something that separates it from the ice cold floor by a few inches. Simple fix.

Seems like YOU are not contributing now.

Even if you don't agree that mothers get worn out, is the advice directly above that sentence not valid?

You sound like a dude that just likes to be an asshole. LOL. Carry on.
I chopped her a bit as I was thinking maybe too close to light

have her a good flush through with some water

gonna see how she gets on in the next couple of days

put her on 18/6 rather than 24 hours
Not sure what transpired there. But topping the plant was the best bet. Does no harm to a healthy established plant. And I'd hear DW before the available product selling points and brochure PDF's posted as experience. Here's a couple pic's of practical application. Peace, luck and speak up.

Yes. I really did that. Third time since Sept. 1. I don't have topiary skills to recreate yours though. That's hilarious. My mother is fully recovered and in need of another cut. Waiting for outdoors.

Here sh is after a topping and a good flush with UN PH’D water

and a day under 18:6

I think she may have just got a little too close to the light or a little too hot
