Which deficiency is this?

What’s up everyone, this is my first time caring for mother plants so I’m not experienced in keeping them around for a long time. I’ve got 2 bubba Kush moms and they’ve got some kind of deficiency. I wasn’t feeding them the Buddha grow for a few weeks just watering so I know they’re starved on something. I recently got some roots organics uprising grow and top dressed a few waterings ago. I was expecting them to start looking healthier but the leaves continue to change. And my leaves have been droopy on one for about a week and a half now. Any idea what this could be exactly? I’ve grown bubba kush before and had calmag problems. This looks deeper though, like maybe a phosphorus or nitro deficiency but not sure. I did some research but came to the community for your input. Thanks in advance.

Your mother plant is flowering, so do not expect those leaves to look better. Your pot seems to be too dry and your light might be too close, assuming she has had stretched… take some cuts if you want to keep her around. If she is deficient than I would say either Mg or K. Good luck!

Looks overwatered and locked out
A picture of a leaf is about useless
Lockout is from excessive salts in the root zone right? I said I haven’t been giving them nutrients for weeks, only plain water. If I was heavy feeding them maybe. The leaves are droopy when the pot is dry or wet so can’t be over or under watered either. Got brown spots and yellowing starting from the bottom making it’s way up. I read phosphorus is a mobile deficiency and cause leaves to curl too so maybe they’re curling and not drooping.

I would remove that plant from its pot and chop some of the root ball off and repot in fresh soil with a light feed
Mothers need room and salt kills

I know, I got tired of keeping them and put them in 12/12, it’s been about 2 weeks now. I just watered yesterday so pot isn’t dry, I checked today and it’s still moist about an inch down into the soil. I don’t know about Mg and K, the tips don’t look burnt, the chlorophyll is just fading to yellow then they’ll eventually wither up and die. I appreciate the input but I think I’ll wait and see if more people chime in

it’s starting at the bottom with older, lower leaves, they’re yellowing, wilting, then falling off. It’s making its way up from the bottom to the top. I top dressed with uprising grow to give it a nitro boost but haven’t seen any improvement over the last few days.

Turned out it wasn’t a deficiency at all, fucking spider mites.
As much as people love to flaunt their “knowledge” on this forum, I’m disgusted with the help and half ass answers we newer growers get from know it all assholes that don’t put 2 seconds worth of thought into the OP. Fuck everyone that looked at those picture and didn’t offer help. I hope your houses burn down and you lose your entire crop. Have a nice life and choke on a dick.bongsmilie

Mites…. For anyone that runs across this thread. If you’re seeing similar shit consider them too, a lot of problems look like other things. You’ll see them before the webs, small red/black looking specs on fan leaves, and white stippling/spots from them eating on your shit. Look hard and you’ll see them crawling.
