How's about a little info? Head to the Infirmary and copy the applicable (soil v hydro) chart. Answer the questions and post them up.
On another note, your photos are HUGE. Space for member photos is limited. Reduce them to 600x800 and you'll have room for hundreds more shots. Save for the web, and you may make room for thousands.

my guess is your over nuting them... ocean forest has all the nutes in the soil... alll you need is water...
but not only are your plants eating that your feeding it 700ppm so its getting double feedings....
just feed them water till they show signs of deficioncies or at least cut out the grow nutes.

thanks for the response...are you looking at my pics and surmising this conclusion? or are you just going by what i posted? anyways, regardless, thanks for the advice...
would love a second opinion. i have already decided the next watering is going to be a healthy dose of ph'd wated

im going by what you filled out... pictures help but plants burn in many ways.... i can promise you if you stop feeding it grow nutes and stick to water itll recover....
ps... no need for a second opinion.... -=]

thanks i just flushed one of them that was thirsty... it was also the worst off of them all...should i go ahead and flush the others? the other two arent quite thirsty enough but i was thinking i go ahead and flush....
can you flush without them being thirsty

i just flushed them with a lot of 6.4ph water....
this is what they looked like before...not 5minutes ago

was flushing the right thing to do or is there something else going on here

thanks poopyteabags, i just flushed them with about a gallon each of pure 6.4phd water. i am hoping they perk up a good bit in the next couple of days...i didnt test the runoff as i havent figured the best way to do that yet...
P
Paully_B
do you think flushing is whats going to help? how do i adjust the ph in my soil? i know how to test ph before i feed/water....
here are some updated pics i just took

here are some updated pics i just took
just ph some tap water and pour through your medium check the runoff water when that water reaches a acceptable range your good to go... only flush when the plant needs water...
P
Paully_B
what would you say an acceptable range would be....around 6.5? should i go ahead and trim the affected fan leaves? also, i am going to take some cuttings soon to as these are essentially just mommas a friend gave me....they are huge but at the same time...i was thinking about taked 8-10 cuttings...as soon as they root i would get rid of the three girls i got in there currently...

would you say the rest of the growth (according to the pics) looks pretty healthy?
they dont look that bad at all... it looks to me like too much nitrogen, and possibly under watered.
how dry are you letting the soil get before you water?

You really need to post your problems in one place. It's a pain in the ass chasing after several different threads about the same issues.
No offense but I disagree with the diagnosis of over fertilization. In fact I will go so far as to say that it IS ABSOLUTELY NOT over fertilization.
None of the pictures show any evidence of nute burn. No burnt tips, no leaves curling under, no new growth burned or discolored. It just simply isn't nute burn.
Those plants are suffering from deficiencies. Prior to flushing they were lacking Phosphorus, Mg, and Zinc, and possibly Nitrogen. Now I would presume that they are lacking pretty much everything.
If allowed to go until the pots dry they will most probably lose foliage and continue yellowing and dying of the leaves.
If they were in my nursery I would flush em with a full dose of nutrients. Improvement will be seen almost immediately or within 24 hours, however the drying, dying leaves will fall and die, they are too far gone to recover.

this is all that i have above
I have never used any of the products you've listed, so I really can't offer an educated suggestion.
I can't really give you any advice on the nutes you've listed buddy. I settled on the recipe I posted many moons ago because it works and never causes any sort of problems.
I really haven't ever experimented with substituting other ingredients.
