Looks like Iron and calcium deficiency

What nutrients are you feeding and whats your ph running.

Needs food my friend. Starving for nitrogen

That beyond my expertise bud. Hmm. Maybe try pennywise... or laid back Leo

Clone away. They'll take just slightly slower.
Lollipop all that yellow stuff too. Everything towards the bottom won't do you any good. Get rid of it early on and your tops will blow up faster buddy.

I havent fed for 2 weeks just phd ro water. Ima feed them nutes once my batch is ready maybe like 2 or 3 days.

---UPDATE--OUTDOOR

WHITE WIDOW

Week #10 from seed
Ok so first off just lookin at her today she is really tall. Last i measured her she was at 1 ft tall exactly and now she is has grown

About 22 inches!! Amazing!
Ima double check last time i measured her after this post.

But today im going to water her with plain ro water phd to 6.2 i been flushing WW as well along with my blueberrys indoor just in case theres salt buildup!.

But after this i will feed nutes again as she is lookin pretty hungry especially after that stretch

And shes getting alot of sidebranching im gonna top her today as well i dont want her getting to tall tryna keep her under the fence lol

Also gunna cut some of the dying leaves off

Now to water
Bouta check the runoff

Also forgot to mention my ppm meter turned on after i let it sit by the ac for a day lol i havent calibrated it yet tho but off the first runoff ppm is 765ppm.. any thoughts on this?

Ph is 7.2ph
--------
And second watering runoff is 250ppm wow very big difference!!

Ph is 7.2

--and for the third time the ppm is 230ppm

Ph is 7.3

 

[CaliBoy559]

Shes lookin worse and im still barely dechlorinating my water  

Not as bad

 

[JohnnyC]

Looking better buddy

 

[Pennywise]

Thats newer growth turning yellow so im going to say iron is being locked out. Iron lockout can occur at ph levels above 6.5 so try and drop ph some.

UPDATE INDOOOR!

Okay so week #13

And i was gone this weekend so when i got back my rh was at 35% and plants were really thirsty im about to give ro water at 6.1 ph this will be the second watering with plain water so im hoping to have flushed the soil out.. and next watering will be with nutes.

Poor girls

#3 doesnt look to bad

.....

#3 runoff was 410ppm
And 6.4 runoff

------
Well after measuring #3 ppm i dropped my pen in water son of a bitchh mannnn.. now i cant measure my runoff and i gotta get a new one asap!

----
#1 runoff is 6.6 ph

#2 runoff is 6.5

This was my runoff 2 days ago. But they havent had nutes in 2 weeks u think that could be it?

 

[CaliBoy559]

I been giving ro water at 6.1 or 6.2 and it usually always comes runoff above 6.5 so should i water phd to lower like 5.9?

 

[KingJoe83]

Update indooor!!
Recovered alot

Still not looking good i flushed twice now so they might just need nutes now we will seee

Temps 74-77F

Rh 55-65%

Up your cal mag a tad maybe ..?

 

[CaliBoy559]

Up your cal mag a tad maybe ..?

Lol they have not had nutes in 2 weeks just ro was trying to flush bud. Ima feed hopefully tommarrow and keep a close eye then see how they do and go from there

 

[Pennywise]

Try a lower ph going in

 

[CaliBoy559]

Well bad news ive been having the worst week seriously everythings been going bad this whole week.. well yesterday i had my nute mix and i put a little bit of ph down in my nute mix and i checked the ph and it was freakin 4.5!!! So i couldnt even give my plants nutrients! And they are really hungry and im leaving on a family reunion for the hole weekend so i just mixed up some nutes yesterday and put it to the airstone and. ididnt even have time to dechlorinate it for a day im just leaving it this whole wekend till i come sunday. But they were gunna be thirsty so i just gave them ro water phd to 6.1 i will ph it and feed when i get home dammit i hope they are ok

Run off is not going to change due to the ph of the water being lower, you will not change your ph this way because the soil is a buffer and the already has its own acidity level. As the water passes through it you will change the ph of the water and not the ph of the soil. Ever.

Soil ph has to be adjusted prior to the grow. Dolomite lime is a great choice to adjust your soils ph. Wood ash is another alternative as is sulfur.
But ph'ing te water will not affect your soils overall ph no matter how many times you do it. You have to build your soil with ph in mind as it is single handedly the most important thing you can do for your plants nutrition.
