Need help with burned plants PLEASE, it's getting worse

I have been growing for couple of years now, organic soil with some perlite, vermiculite, bat quano, bone meal, dried blood, garden lime, all organic...it has always worked great. I just recently haven't used as much perlite, because it freaked me out that breathing it in causes cancer. But what doesn't these days right? Anyway, I know I might have burned them about 3 weeks ago...although I have used organic staff so it might not have been it. I check the pH of my water every now and then and it's usually around. I am getting no results with these plants. I have also gotten some new strands (AK47, kandy kush and super skunk), the AK seems to have really thin stalk and kind of purple color, but all of it's clones do to, so I thought it might be the strand. I am at lost. It isn't getting better, just worse. They are drying up, not growing from the stress. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!! Really any suggestions please! Thank you in advance.

At this point in time what I would do is just give them water no nutes to see If it starts to come back, also I see the tips of the leaves are burnt correct me if I am wrong but seems like to many nutes in the soil. You may want to carefully remove the bucket to get at look at your root that also might give a better ideal as to what is going on good luck...

I used to have great pots full of roots, but now when I take a plant out, there are hardly any roots. Does that also mean too many nutrients? Do you think I should flash them?

That looks like a spidermite attack to me. Did you obtain clones from someone else?? Those lil yellow dots all over indicate that to me. Look under the leaves. When bugs attack it stresses the plant into looking like its having nute deficiency.

Flashing them won't help. Flushing them, however would be a good idea

Yes I agree with Red1966 Flush them asap, In the future grows keep in mind that some of the new hybrids dont need that many nuts to grow. Go back a think of everything you did there has to be something that you may have done differently? There are many great organic soils out on the marked you might just to try some and see what happens. "Keep it simple I always say" What soils to use? I have no clue search the forum you I am sure you will find some help.

I agree with the spider mite problem but I am concerned about your statement about the lack of roots. That could be from too much nutes, overwatering, etc. BTW its strains not strands.

I was wondering if you mix all those amendments and soil together and just put your plants in it or do you make sure it has beneficials and let it cook a month or so. If you're not letting it do its thing for a month you're not doing your plants any favors packing that stuff in the soil. Not to say it won't break down and become available as it sits with your plants in it, but it should be in a readily available state when you use it to begin with. I'm not nit-pickin at you I'm just trying to let you know it takes time for organics like that to break down and become available for your plants, and that only if the correct bacteria and such are present to do it. Organics are a great way to grow but can be complicated at times without the correct information. Hope this helps, as some P in your soil can really boost your root system and kick it into overdrive when delivered correctly and at the right time. My plants roots can over take a 3 gallon pot out of a 1 gallon in less than 20 days. Good luck, Good grow, Be safe, :peace: out.

Thank you for the advise, it's definitely not spider mites or any other bugs...I did have those few years back. The only good think in that was now I know what to look for. I also thought it might be because I use tap water and haven't been removing the metals from it. I got some fish chlorine removal and mixed new batch of soil with less fertilizers in it. I also got few new seeds going, hopefully they will be stronger plants. These ladies are just way too sensitive.
