Sick Plants Please Help !!! pics included

Hey all I came to this site because i heard eveyone was really knowledgable and i was wondering if you guys could help me out. I have searched around for a solution but I would really like some specific advise from fellow growers. I have some pics included to show you the problems and i'll describe my setup below...

Strain: KC36
Lights: 152 watts of CFL (3 42watts and 1 26 watt bulb) lights have been on 24/7 since the 7th of january. there are about 2 inches away from the plants
Watering: every couple days give about 520ml to my 4 plants
Nutes: About a week ago i gave them some 1/4 strength 30-15-15 nutrient solution after that i thought they may have been burning the plant so i gave just been giving regular water since.
Soil PH: is around 6.8-7 (hard to tell exactly i just have a cheap soil tester kit)

The picture of the leaf is a close up of one of my plants older leaves
the other picture is a close up of the top of another one of my plants

You got too much water in your plant...
or eighter your giving it a nute burn

i got the same shit too but i wouldnt worry about it unless it turns yellow all around.

u think im watering it too much??? the lights are on 24/7 though

anyone think its a nute def??

Looks like nute burn to me... either way if it gets worse you should flush them... You could add peroxide to the water which will give more oxygen to the roots... Ive only done that once so def look up the directions. I believe you can also use epsom salt to dry it up a little as well, but research that as well. They will be ok if you are proactive from here on out. They def can be overwatered even though you have the lights on 24/7.

The reason it doesnt look like a nute deficiency is because of the brown at the edges. But thats just my opinion. Its really easy to give to much.

ya , its hard to tell exactly i think maybe it could be overwatering then how much water should u give a plant that is about a month old. and as for nute burn maybe i fist gave them nutes at a quarter strength when there were about 16 days old so maybe that was a big mistake?

I actually barely give mine nutes... they get burnt so easy but with trial and error you will finally find out what makes them happy. Less nutes is best in my opinion. Your soil should have what they need. As far as water goes, just like the nutes you will eventually find a happy medium. I have a plant right now that I am constantly struggling with over water under water issues. Shes just never happy! A friend recently told me about the turkey baster method... I guess you just throw in a turkey baster full of water a day. I havent tried it yet, but maybe its worth a try?!

so how many ml are in a turkey baster...this problem im having is just really happening to the top of the plant like the new growths are becoming yellow and like shrivelled

30 ml in a turkey baster...
Eww shriveled Id be worried too! Just try to be precautious and hopefully things will get better. There is also some good info in the grow guide here that shows you pics and that also helps diagnose problems.

wow only 30 ml i give 550ml approx. to 4 plants every 2 days

is that 30ml per plant or 30 ml total a day

Per plant... and I actually think thats a lil amount but play with that amount a little. Maybe trim off the really dead leaves and see if that helps it out a little.

there are no dead leaves itsjust the new shoots have become yellowish and shrivelled looking the other parts are pretty much fine

Oh my bad, usually if I get a yellow shrivelled leaf it dies

how do you flush a plant properly

Check this link out... hopefully it will be helpful. The site also tells you how to flush properly.

i think i found the problem the Ph of my water was like 8.5!!! what do you guys think ....maybe thatr was it?? i fixed the ph in my water to around 6.7-9 hopefully that helps i just watered the plants a couple minutes ago with the corrected ph water

Yay Im glad you found what the problem was!
