Its hard to tell what caused the discoloration but I would recommend just using some kind of Bug deterrent for plants...I had the same problem and I just relocated the plant and used some plant repellent stuff i got from Lowe's....Good Luck!

Hi steelpulse. I think you're over-watering the plants. They are showing classic signs, eg droopy leaves, leaves falling off, leaves turning pale green etc. This happens because the roots are always saturated, don't get enough oxygen and can't feed the plants. The roots will eventually die. It's not a good idea to just have a watering regime like "every two days". Only water when the plants really need it. When you water, water well, so that water runs out the bottom of the pot, and then don't water again until the soil is dry at least two inches below the surface. Marijuana really benefits from dry periods between watering - it encourages strong roots, a strong healthy plant and lots of good quality bud. I think if you do this they will recover very quickly. Good luck ;)

PS From the first pic it also looks as if your pots are quite small. Is it possible that your plants are root-bound? This will also lead to poor growth and your plants won't be getting the nutrients they need. Might be time to re-pot.

I appriciate that I am actually helping a friend out here and thats kinda what i figured.I advised him to hold off on the h2o for a few days.Also these are about 20 inches tall what size container for dirt? Currently in 1 gallon pots. Should I go to 3 gallon pots? They are ready for flowering should i move them in to bigger pots first?

3 Gallons sounds good to me, but I would wait until they recover. Not a good idea to re-pot while they're stressed. But try to do it before they flower, although not essential. Also it's a good idea to mix at least 25% perlite with your soil to help with drainage etc.

I actually am limited on space I have heard that topping can also produce a bigger yield two buds instead of one down they main stock. Thanks though.:hump:
