i know but thats part of the problem, dont have any ph,humidity,or temps, its a 250 watt hps and the plants are beside each other about 8"away from it,i gave it a good watering with rain water the other day not a real flush about 4l, the soil is just potting soil from pound shop, it was a spur of the moment grow in the loft, with a borrowed light,this is a first grow and with no planning but would realy like to save it, the next grow will be planned, with all the tools,,,,,well most of them the neuts were a tomato food from homebase for the first 5 weeks and changed to dutch pro bloom a&b and booster it seemed to have started when i changed the ak has only been getting 1/4 strenth,,,the roadrunner is on full strenth now and seems great
True bro it does look a lot better, but are you feeding them the same? Roadrunners a lot bigger so can take the feed, might be too much for the other one,
Flush it out I'd say! The sooner you flush the less damage it will do
I doubt it's gonna be ph temp or humidity tho if the other one has no signs but
Different strains are stronger than others so it could be that ones suffered from heat and light where as the other one thrives in those conditions, it's really hard to say when you've got two different strains
I suppose the main thing we need to know is if you've done anything different to either of them?
Is one slightly closer to the light if you measure it?
How big were they both when you switched to the other nutes?

no both are exactly the same distance exactly!! the ak grew alot faster than the roadrunner, and realy i think only showed change about 3 days after the feed change,,,,,i have never flushed the plants not once, and if i look close to the soil i think i can see tiny little salt crystals,,, the ak done best early close to the light where as the roadrunner was better a bit further away ,,,,everything has been the same all the way trough only thing i can think is to give a real good flush it only has about 3 weeks left ish so if i flush now will i be giving it any feed before harvest,am i suposed tostop feed a few weeks before harvest anyway,,,i just dont know

Hello..help on the way..so your rain water is it filtered?and you plants might be hungry..you switched nutes..one could be stronger than the other and the ladies were already use to that level ..its for autos ..makes me think its just watered down nutes.:tiphat:
so do you think put it on the full dose of feed? or go back to the tomato food? the rain water was filterd with apair of tights doubled over, i have only used rain water that one time because i read it had a good ph, and tought it might help it if i put the 4l through it, should have put out a bigger container, if the prob was not the feed could it be because i never flushed them?

problem with rain water is bugs..even ones you cant see and tap water has better stuff in it for plants..just sit our tap water for 24 hrs and bubble it with air if you can works best.I would go back to my old feed or bump up the feed on the new nutes till I get a lil burn on the tips.Just take your time over the next week..its not good to change up nutes in the middle of a grow for this reason..good luck bro..oh is the problem getting worse?take pics ..sometimes you can see problems yaself better in pics.
But he's got burnt tips already bro
By the size difference and the fact your feeding them the same considering there size I would say ones been burnt and by the other deficiency signs may have nute lock
So I'd flush ASAP bro, rain water should be fine, people grow outdoors with no umbrellas over their plants
This method your not going to worsen things and may just have to take her a week longer,
If you continue feeding her when she's already burnt the excess nutrients in the medium will keep building up and burning her and growth will stunt,
What's the worst that can happen? I don't see how it's hungry if it's smaller and on the same dose of nutes as your bigger one
