It is in roots organic soil, using Fox farms tiger bloom and big bloom every other feeding and molasses every feeding. ph is about 6.3

soil ph should b at 7 needs a flush with clean water 3x amount of container . let it get good and dry before next water/feed

what should be the ph of the water I flush with?
after flushing do i need to work my plant into the nutes again or can i use the regular amounts?

a pic would help, but from what your
Describing it sounds like nothing to worry about.
As your plants get in the latter stages of flowering the fan leaves start yellowing the same as a nitrogen defiency because that's basically what's happening. Bloom nutes are typically high in P and low in N therefore the fan leaves are depleted and turn yellow

The ph for soil should be between 6.5 and 7.. more idealy 6.8 as 7 will start to lock out some nutes..

When you flush your soil you should flush it with a low level of nutrients in it .. PHED at 6.8 or whatever your useing now.
water with a small amount of nutes in it will do more flushing then pure water.

as for the problem you are having, it looks like a severe nitrogen def or possibly the progression of a P deficiency.. hard to tell hopefully someone else knows for sure, but the flowers are looking GREAT.

i think you should also be using the three part soluables from fox farm chaching beatie blooms and open sesime.. i highly reccomend useing them all together with something close to foxfarms soil feeding schedule...




you can use the nutes again at full strength after the flush

i wish i had the link on it but it shows soil ph is optimal at 7 , hydro 5.7-5.8 the ph has 2 do with uptake of certain minerals and nutrients and when ph gets out of kilter it locks out vital nutrients ,also known as ph induced lockout ure plant will continue 2 suffer unless u flush with some clean water the eaziest other than rain is distilled water , can b purchased at local grocery . i hope youll do this and good luck

Have you flushed ("leeched") them at any point? I had flushed my plants with the wrong pH water without knowing it. I just used the same tap water that I was using for watering, which at my place has a pH of 7.5+

I think my plants got nute lockout from incorrect pH. The gentleman who posted before me also suggested the same thing. We will see in a few days if they recover after being leeched with correctly pHed water!

Also check out this link, http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688 it might be easier for you to recognize your own plant problem than it is for us through pictures!
