As you can see, the plant on the left looks fine. the plant on the right has issues. they are both clones taken from two different plants. same strain. The middle fan leaves are turning yellow and twisting and curling up a bit. In the last 24 hours it has gotten much worse. i doubt it is PH, i feed and water both plants the same.

I am wondering if the plant the clone came from had issues that are just now showing up. This yellowing started to show up at day 14 of flowering? The plant on the left is nice and green and doing well. Both plants have some nice looking buds forming.

I have 12 plants vegging now, i plan on adding two plants every 4 weeks for a continual grow.

Any assistance will be very, very appreciated.

It looks hungry to me. Maybe nute lock - maybe not enough nutes.
Invest in a Ph pen. If the Ph is wrong it will effect nute take up.

Give up on the organic nutes. Your girls can't tell the difference between an molecule of Nitrogen created in a lab and a molecule of Nitrogen that fell out of a cows bladder. Organics is a delicate dance of many things and very difficult to do - and just not worth it.

PS: Take a look at the thread right below this one ... "organics vs chemical". The organic crowd is firmly entrenched in their beliefs, and I'm sure I'll get flamed for my opinion, but ... there is NO difference between organic and 'chemical' to the plant. Learn how to wash your buds before curing and the flavor is there.

Hi Auggie, thanks for the response. Using Earth Juice I make a tea and the ph tends to be right about where i want it, about 6.5.

I have increased the nutes and I see improvement, these are especially hungry plants I'm finding out. You are correct, the plant is hungry. First time growing them.

I've done organics for a long time and I agree the plant can't tell the difference, but I believe the soil can. Thanks for the tip, I'm going to check the organics vs chemical thread.

I know a couple of organics guys - one grows large, has a 30,000 watt indoor setup. I think he's crazy ... and I tell him so, BUT he grows some dank chit. IMHO it is just more work than it's worth.

You are right, it has everything to do with the relationship between the medium, the plant, and the organics. A synergistic and delicate dance between the three. Difficult for a newbie (or me) to achieve - but when you hit it you do have magic. And it sounds like you've hit it. You guys that been doing it a long time make it look easy, but its not.

I'm glad that all your girls wanted was more, that is an easy fix. "FEED ME DAD".

Auggie- with organics, you are right, it is a delicate balance. What makes it so tough for people is when you make a mistake, it takes a very long time to make corrections. With chems, one can flush and basically start over.
