Sick plant pics:
Click on thumbnails to enlarge, I tried to make all pics nice, big, and clear.
Here are some pics of my older plants that are the same strain and in the same soil mix/fertilizer that are doing fine and have been all their life which makes me wonder why the one plant is not doing so well.
And here's a picture and some information on Dr. Earth organic fertilizer, the stuff I've been using if you've never heard of it. (I only use this for veg)
