Magnesium issues?

They look the same as last night. We will see. I am not proceeding with adding calmag or Mg water or nutes until I give them a few days to adjust to the new soil.

Obviously it's not ideal to transplant second week of flower. I kept root ball intact with most of its soil.

Well the leaves that looked bad continue to look bad but the plants are recovering In my opinion. I got the TDS meter and my well water is almost 7 pH and 289 ppm! My rain water is at 6 pH and 5 ppm! Wow! Here are photos of the three outside and the one inside. My intuition tells me to take the bubba hash plant inside for some reason. The two bigger plants outside are island sweet skunk and the inside plant is a Sensi skunk. I gave it myco chum yesterday. Debating whether to give it some bigbloom from foxfarm? I'm leaving the others alone for now.

Thanks, that's my plan. It is still really wet and I will use my probing meter to see how dry it gets. Then water from bottom right? Unless it rains of course. Thanks for responding.

Ok the pots were still pretty wet but the more sick plant kept looking worse and the rust spots progress up the leaves from the lower internodes to the top and the lower fan leaves keep dying. I have her a magnesium water mix.... used a gallon rain water and a teaspoon of Epsom salts? I didn't give any to the other plant. Both are stacking up and making buds. Sensi skunk indoors is doing well but is really dark green and clawing some, I think it may be over fertilized even though I didn't give it much of anything but myco chum. I will give her clear rain and hope we can get a rain soon. If so I will put her outside and let her flush. She is making brown pistils but her trichomes are transparent.

I moved all plants inside then pulled the sickest one and looked at theroots

for root Rot. They looked fine. I gave her some miracle grow herb food with all the minerals and npk. This seemed to stop the rust spots from spreading. I think it may have even cleared up a few leaves.
I think the plant is basically done.
I'm going to let her dry out if she will and watch the trichomes. I gave the other plant some bigbloom and she is looking good I shot this one with some bigvloom foliar spray as well.
I sprayed the bubba hash plant and she popped into flower about a week ago. Then I tried it on a two week old Lebanese landrace that was slow to bloom Last time I grew it. The two week old plant bloomed immediately at the top!
I then

checked the sensi skunk and she is showing amber trichomes...moved her out side today and let it rain on her.
I will put her in the air conditioning and chop her in a few days. I did a test smoke last night and got a good smooth body buzzzz.....

That sounds right to me.

The flowering food encourages root growth, and the roots will grow into the supersoil/heavily fertilized soil too, and feed the plant that way.

You get rid of a lot of nutrient deficiencies that way.

Plus, flowering is mainly about the expansion of the root system to begin with. That's why plants flower so well in hydro - the roots can just expand into the water without resistance or restriction.

You can replicate this in soil by topping up with at least 2 inches of soil.

However it is really important not to water in the supersoil/hot soil early on.
After nearly a month indoors under the air conditioning and no water, I gave her a dose of miracle grow herb food containing almost every nutrient known. A few days later she began to look better. Yesterday for the first time she began showing a slight decrease in the moisture measures in the soil.

I tried smoking a small amount of dries bud and it was intense but annoying. She needs to go at least another week. The other plant is doing well on bigvloom but bottom fans are turning yellow now and I'm considering using the MG fertilizer on her... bubba is doing well also although lime green leaves.
