So the AKR has seemed like its been stunted for a couple weeks and is so small. HBD still so small, but fine for my first grow. Its all a learning experience.

Anyways, the HBD started to show a weird bottom leaf with light green/yellow patches on the outer edges that are getting bigger now. The AKR and HBD leaves started doing a downward claw or downward taco-ing as well. The leaves that was folding down got very dark green quick.

The AKR has new brown spots and tips on the leafs. Also, weird light lime green color starting from the middle of a leaf and spreading outwards. The HBD also has some browning going on, but not as much. Pictures are from the past week.

Im using FFOF soil, pH-ed tap water thats sat out for a day or 2 (it is hard water, chlorine smelling water). Grow bag size for both of them is about 1.6-2 gallons (were originally 3 but after some math and folding, they're now around 2 gal) Using Blue Mountain Organics- Flower power & Grow it green at 1/4 to 1/3 dose. Never more than that, and have only veg fed them twice and flower/veg fed them twice, and now this is happening.

The heat in the dresser is great for the most part, rarely hitting above 80 degrees. The humidity in the dresser is horrible, started at 20% RH and with wet sponges and water cups I've got it up to 40% max. Now usually around 30-37% RH. Im missing something probably, but thanks in advance. Appreciate it, because I'm scared they're getting too sick and need a flush or something ASAP.

I've been told too much N is making the leafs dark. Been told the HBD has a Mg deficiency. Been told I could be over-watering/overfeeding as well. But no one really knows it seems, including me. Any help appreciated.

I wish I knew. Got a similar prob myself with light green growth and acouple fan leaves on there way out. I have jus started feeding them 5 weeks in as everything was sweet but as soon as flowering really kicks off I get this.I think mine are N defic but not sure as never had these probs wen growing normal weed. And not much help around either. I think its been mentioned bout the lack of auto 'experts' help towards noobs.Your lack of feedback jus shows that lovely. He needs help now.Before things get worse. 20 plus Peeps look in but no f/back.Hope tings work rudebwoy. Peace,reds...
Ps Bet someone chimes in now if jus to berate me.
 
Have you measured your pH? Is it OK. It is really hard to tell by the pictures but I am guessing it is phosphate lock out by the pH being too high. This is only a guess but other more experienced growers might Know better. Get back to me with the pH.
 
Like Nelson said, pH numbers would be helpful. Both the water and the runoff.
 
I was using a tad over 1/4 dose of the recommended feed chart for the 2nd week flowering. Tomorrow will be their 3rd week flowering, and I'll make up nutes when they need them, but always 1/3 to 1/4 dose of Blue Mtn Organics - Grow it Green and Flower Power.

I water every like 3.5-4.5 days depending on the side drainage holes. I stick my finger in each one along the side to get a feeling for moisture or dry soil. The pH of the runoff yesterday was closer to 6.0 than 6.5, hard to exactly know with the dirty water and pH drops but they both were in between 6.2-6.4. I'm thinking next watering in about 5 days I'll use only pHed water to about 6.8-ish so the runoff will be a tad higher, right or wrong? I always pH to around 6.2-6.6ish, with the nutes it also makes pHing it correctly a little hard.

Heats been fine besides about a week ago the high was 83-84. Other than that heats good, better than expected. Right now inside 77.0 degrees, outside room temp 71.3 degrees. What does worry me is when I leave sometimes in the morning I leave the air conditioner on because the lights go off at 10am and I leave at 7-8am. But when I get back the low inside sometimes will be 62-66 degrees, is that far too cold for the night/lights off temps? Can it be causing the tacoing? The growbags and soil feel cold when I open up at 4pm when the lights come on. I also run the little fans 24/7 and 1 pointing on the girls. Does that annoy them and I should put them on the timer or do they like it? Oh. and humidity is always under 40%, never above 40%, usually 30-35%.

Watered them ph-ed tap water yesterday, but didnt get to check run off. HBD and AKR got 6.8 ph-ed water because the last nute feeding the pH was low around 6.2 ish.
 
I have about 11 gallons of tap water thats been sitting out since last night, should I flush them with that tomorrow night? They dont seem like they're doing good whatsoever. And one thing I've noticed is the HBD grow bag and soil feel much harder and compact than normal, and not much drainage, AKR drains fine. Grow bags are just under 2 gallons, say 1.7 gallons to be safe. I need to flush with 5 gallons each? Should I pH the water to 6.5 or a little higher? Update pictures tomorrow.
 
And 6.5 to 6.8 should be fine but i have hard water and had problems with nute lockout from that so i started collecting rain water and when it wouldn't rain i just went and bought spring water at the store but that gets to be a pain
 
And you might want to look into getting and digital ph pen cause if your water is discolored from your nutes you won't get a true reading on your ph
