the products i have use are as follows: POWDERY MILDEW ACTINOVATE SUPOSEDLY ORGANIC; SPIDER MITES & THRIPES-SAFER 3 IN 1 GARDEN SPRAY SAYS 4 KLLIS MITES, CONTROLS FUNGUS KILLS INSECTS; MIGHTY WASH NPK INDUSTRIES; FERTERLIZERS & FOOD BEEN USING 4-1-4 MOTHER EARTH BLENDED NATURAL SUPER TEA, SUPER THRIVE ECOCHEM LIQUID PH ADJUSTERS PH DOWN AND PH UP THATS IT
I think you need a good flush, what are your grow room temps?
Save that chart, I did and look at it all the time. Looks like you are in soil so you need to test your runoff. I don't get it looks like you have buckets on soil, maybe outdoor? (But you mention 400w HPS) What is your the size of your grow area? Get a shot further back.
Superthrive is not organic to my knowledge. I don't think potassium hydroxide is either (ph up).
I would flush with about 3x the container size, clean RO if you have it, if not bubble a lot of tap water for 24 hours. Then top dress with 1/4 cup per gallon of dolomite lime wait 45 minutes and water with nutes as normal. ( I never use more than half strength)
If you have never flushed, you scratch up your surface inch of soil, water to get it evenly wet. Then pour on about a half inch and let it absorb, rinse and repeat until you have gone through your 15 gallons (for a 5 gal container) of water.
My thought are ultimately you have put a lot of stuff on your plants and they are in lockout. Are you watering with full strength nutes??

Hey Twinkie,
What is this in this pic of yours, is it a stem?
That plant of yours is likely diseased or has a fungus.
You can try to save the plant but if you don't get her environment in order you are going to keep having these problems.
You didn't mention the soil she is growing in. Many new growers (myself included at one time) go and buy soil that produces acid because the peat moss in it is decomposing... who knew right! Then when we see our water is mid 7's on the PH scale we add ph down to get it in the sweet zone. Thats our first mistake, Well two mistakes. If the soil had an already balanced PH we newbs would not have such a problem. Heres a tip, mix your soil ahead of time and water it and let it sit for a week and water it again while checking the runoff to see how it swings. After a few mixes you will be able to balance your soil just the way you want it.
Assuming your tester is accurate, if your soil is going down in PH regardless of the number then it is pointless to be adding PH down or even PH up to the water, just use tap. If you want to dechlorinate call your water company first. Many water companies are switching to chloramine rather than chlorine and you cannot gas off chloramine. Save the water PH adjusters for when the nutes put the water out of whack. You need to have a good balanced soil or PH problems are going to happen everytime. Too many people have the same problems with PH and it is usually new growers.
You should put aside going all organic for the time being because your tap water is no good for it unless you have an RO water generator. You want to create a healthy microbial colony and your water is working against you.
Keep your soil in between 7.0 and 6.5. The chart Maer posted is good but it does not show how the nutrients taper before they lock out which is as important as the chart itself. I have a good chart but it is not my creation so I won't post it here, but you can google it.
I could babble all night cuz I'm in a helping mood but I would only be repeating what has already been posted. Do alot of reading here and you will have some mindblowing harvests. I know, I'm doing it and it is worth the sleepless nights reading and reading....

The crack is part of the stalk. it has been open for some time now but i keep it clean evryday.
the products i listed i may have only used once like superthrive, mighty wash. the only product i use on a consistant basis is the mother earth super tea 4-1-4 for veggie state i used it about every 3 waterings.
the grow area i have is in the corner of my bedroom with an armour making a third wall and one wall has a window there. it is 2 feet 7 inches wide and 3 feet 6 inches deep.
the dirt i used is black gold all purpose potting soil. it does have canadian sphagnum peat moss so i need to address that issue.
i did flush it after i sprayed for powdery mildew (actinovate) 3 weeks ago so i will do that again. when i check the ph i check the run off not the water i use which is well water (no floride) and i let it sit a few days to let some of the impurities evaporate. i do mix according to directions but it is on the low end that i use (it says can mix up to 15 mls per gallon and i use about 9 mls per gallon)
the plants (there are 3 purp kush, bubble purp bubblegum and dj shorts blackberry
) are in buckets the size of kitty litter buckets. the blackberry is much shorter than the other 2 so it is sitting on another bucket.
But bottom line i will flush it. and then try to unlock the nutes if have any suggs on that let me know and thanx for the help if this works then i am going to try and get off this pain pump it so cumbersome. so wish me good luck this is my first time and i really need this to work.

All you have to do is add dolomite lime to fix the PH problem. You need to take care of the Spider mites too.....

Id be sorting the spider mite out as soon as possible mate as it will get worse as time goes on. I use predators to get rid of mine if they happen to pay me a unexpected visit lol. Predators are basically little creatures that spread all over your plant and kill all the spider mite if you dont know. Not sure how much they cost in u.s but there around £30 in g.b and definatley more effective from any other pest control methods.

^^^^THAT^^^^
Get the lime, use the lime, otherwise you are just pi$$ing in the wind.
DO NOT get, hydrated, slaked, burnt, or quick lime.
You want dolomitic or calcitic lime. Dolomite, Garden, or Sweet lime.

HELP!!
Now i have some other problems, the leaves on my plants are very dark green.
My wife has to have the tv going all night and just found out that might be a real problem. I dont want my babies to change sexes (i never knew they could do that) Is there a real chance they could change sexes?
Do the extremely dark leaves mean anything? I have built a make shift cover that blocks out almost all the light.
is there anything i can give it to promote more flowers? It seems like there could be a lot more flowers. I have it under a 400w bloom light with cover in a grow space of 31"x24"x91" high but lamp is 72 inches from ground.
Is there anything you can suggest doing to my babies in the bloom stage i want to be the best mother i can be and want my kids to get all the nutes it needs.
