posted a while back but didnt get much advice.

im growing three babies in a reds rubbermade.
42watt floros, temp does not get above 85.
Reds soil mix...2 parts pro mix...1 part perlite...1 part vermiculite
bone meal, blood meal, lime in their propper perportions.

as you can see i do let the soil dry out! i am watering with distilled bottled water from the store.

i plan on transplanting soon and when i do id like to add some bagged compost/manure to the mix...

i started off with this...




now i have this...




and a runt that i am treating exactly the same as the first two...i warn you its ugly......


im thinking that it is A. nute lockout (over fert)...B. Ph problems....C.they are screaming for nutes. whats your professional opinion?

i think they are drying out mate. da roots give off soil waste and salt build up causes the roots to not get h2o uptake properly therefore making a hard stem and drooping leaves; if the lock up gets soo bad and you cannot correct ph properly i would suggest altering your ratio of lime next time to work in harmony with your water's ph and ppm or checking your water source to see if its "Hard" but you probably adjust your feed anyway so it could be a def. hard to tell if yellow or orange rust from the pic.

This is almost certainly an overfertilizing problem. The burned leaf tips and yellowing that migrates from center to the margin has me thinking that it is a potassium problem. Also, In the last picture- the plant on the right is SCREAMING for water. Make sure to water her more regularly during flower or you risk hermie problems. I would suggest flushing out the medium with min. 3x the volume of soil. (ie: 1 gallon container, 3 gallons of water) and then watering with a MILD nutrient solution.

I just re-read your post, and it said you usd bone/blood meal. This is not nearly enough to cause these over fert issues. I am going to guess that you tried to supplement with some kind of fertilizer that isn't marijuana specific. Maybe I am wrong, but if all you did was use red's recipe, I cannot understand why this would happen. Lemme know

I see a combination of overwatering and waiting too long to transplant. The leaves on all the plants especially the lower ones are huge. That's the classic sign of overwatering.

When you overwater, the roots don't develop. They grow enough to get water for the plant. If the roots are underdeveloped the plant can't get enough nutes so it shows deficiencies on the lower leaves. Giving it a shot of nutes might make the plant look healthier for one watering.

I'd transplant into fresh soil with larger pots. Let the plant go for as long as possible between waterings.
