got a big problem, some of the plants are looking very sick.
I thought i overnuted, but there are no burned leave tips or edges. to be on the safe side i flushed all of the plants with about 5 times the volume what the pots sizes are. I thought it be enough to flush excess nutrient from the soil. Still no improvement, is there a possibility that i overwater? (used hydro before and just changed to soil). PH = 6.7

Or can it be a disease? Wilt? just to be on the safe side i got some cannadian express wilt guard, would that be safe to use? or is it better to stop watering till the soil is dry?



pics are show in series of the event:

first stage: leaves are pointing downwards





Second stage: leaves are pointing down and the leave stem also looses to support the leave




3rd stage: leaves are really weak and soft rolling down on all sides




4th stage: just about over





thanks for any help in advance

Hard to tell by the pics since they are so small, but if i had to guess I would guess overwatering and root rot.

Dude you really need to take some larger pictures of em out from under the hps. The light totally fucks your pictures up for trying to diagnose anything.
ALSO: How long have they been flowering?
What soil mix?
What food are you using?
What is the pot size?
Have you checked for pests?
What are your max/low temp swings?
What is the soil temp?
What is the run-off ph?
What was the feeding/watering schedule before noticing the change?
What is the temp of feed/water was given?
Are you using tap or bottled water?
If tap, do you bubble?

I click on pics and it takes me to my empty photo album??Weird

Yeah he goofed on posting. But they are too small to be of help anyway.

Here is the link to his album....

Thanks for all the replies, i removed a plant from pot and it confirms root rot, so what i've done : removed the old soil carefully and replanted in dry good quality soil and hope they recover all. I put it down to low quality soil which was on offer at the local garden shop as it seem it had lots of bark which is not composted yet and i presume it hogs the water. I'll update in a few day with the results.

once again thanks for all your replies

definitely over watering...it looks like root rot has set in, not enough air going to the roots...id suggest repotting and examining the roots...i also suggest adding H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) to your watering..it will convert to H20 (water) and O2 (oxygen) in the soil exactly what you need!
