The below plants have been flowering for 3 weeks from indoor mix from bcbuddepot seeds.

This one is showing new signs of growth but.. wilted???



This one has spots on leaves:



This one looks like nut deficiency?


Burnt leaves and kind of skinny plant

It helps to know some information about how they have been treated:
What are you feeding?
How do you determine when to water?
How long has each been in its pot?
How tall compared to volume of pot?
What type of soil?
What can you tell us about your tap water?
Do you know the pH of the runoff?
What is your lighting and exhaust setup?
What are your day/night temps, and humidity?

There's a whole list around here somewhere. At the very least, your plants appear ready for larger pots with light, fresh soil.

how far is your light from those plants the day you put them into flower?

All those plants aren't always in the same room right?

-Plants are at least 3 months old. They were fed floranova from general hydro at around 800ppm but once were overfed 1500ppm and flushed

-5 days ago were fed 15-50-50 bloom special for the first time along with floralicious bloom and one drop of superthrive per gal. I also foliar sprayed reverse from dutch masters cause i discovered a male a month ago that pollinated.

-I water when the soil is almost dry with regular tap water ph 6.0-6.3

-The plants are much taller than the pots. If i had to transplant, how would i do this at this stage?

-The soil mix.. I bought it at walmart and had some nutes.

-Ph runoff is kindof low around 5.0-5.5.... it was 4.0 before I flushed to save them from the nut burn.

-Lighting 1000w hps and 2T8.

-Temp during the day are around 80-85 degrees and at night around 68...But these plants had some heat stress 2 weeks ago where the temp rose to 95.

They were about one ft close to the plants and i recently rose the hps to around 1ft and half from the highest plant top.

And yes they are always in the same room. The thing is soil is not my thing...im used to hydro so please bear with me. Thanks!

Okay I already have some suggestions for ya.

-Transplanting in flower is fine. Measure your plant and choose a new pot that allows one gallon volume per foot of plant height.
-Before you transplant, flush one last time with water at pH 7 until your RUNOFF comes out at 6.7. Your lime is gone and the soil pH is way low, which is locking ya out big time. Then let the soil get rather dry and do a transplant into fresh soil of your choice. Fill your pot with your new soil to the level where if you put the pot with the plant in there, it rests on the soil surface with the surface of the current soil even with the rim of the pot. Then support the main stem between your 1st aqnd middle finger, with your hand spread out over the soil surface, upend the pot, and slap it sharply on the bottom. The whole thing will slide out cleanly and may be placed intot he new pot. Backfill around the edges with fresh dirt, water very lightly, and you are good to go.
-Lose the superthrive, because it has too muhc Nitrogen in it and the hormones will also inhibit the flower response. It's GREAT for vegging plants, but questionable at best for flowering ones.

Those little plants on the right are flowering too?

you have an acidic natured soil, top dress with some lime then pour it in real well

Bump up your flush solution to 7.5 and keep at it until the runoff is more like 6.7.
The lime added to your potting soil at the factory is used up and peat based soils are naturally acidic.
After the flush, water with 1/2 strength bloom food at pH 6.8-7.0 and if you want to get sassy, add some calmag to the mix. But the top-dressing of lime (as finely pulverized as you can find, and just a bit to start!) is basically doing the same job for a lot chaper.

superthrive has nitrogen????? i thought it's just vitamins
