Im new to organics as well, but I think Ronbo51 is on to something...feed em something with a higher amount of nitrogen. Something for veg/growth to get them to green up some. They eat up alot of nitrogen the first couple weeks of flowering for the "stretch".

Looking at photos I'm now wondering if this is Ca deficiency!! - I did add a little Cal-Mag about a month ago, but I'm wondering if I need a bit more. Anyone thing this is possible?

Got any calmag? It should have a little nitrogen plus the extra calcium and magnesium couldn’t hurt. They look like they can definitely use a boost.

Thanks. Agreed - I'm thinking a bit of CalMag at the next watering is unlikely to hurt.

you can check with a moisture meter see what numbers your looking at and what how plants lplant growth looks like.if they should slightly wilt for water and water 20 % over and plants still having problem ,the amont of water is wrong,for your environment,soil,lights,i just adjust to those factors it works fine.i like 1-2 on a moisture meter,your cud be slightly diff. watch the plants,if they should slight wilt for water,check first with moisture meter...then water...at that point its just a matter of getting the right amount of water that make them gorw like a jungle.peace mm/

Thanks. I just ordered a moisture meter yesterday

Decided to post this hear in addition to the Cannabis Infirmary forum......

I've noticed that the water drainage in my pots has worsened recently. My soil feels rock hard and 3 out of 4 of my plants take much longer than they should to dry out. I'm in FFOF with about 30% perilite. So I decided to "loosen things up" - I basically banged on the sides of the fabric pots with my hands quite vigorously - I feel like I was able to really loosen up the soil.

Man, the root balls on my plants are huge! - can they get rootbound in fabric pots? I'm in 3 gallon pots. Would it be completely lunatic to transplant to larger pots at this stage? (just starting wk 4 of flower).

Despite my plants issues I'm getting some decent buds. This is Day 29 in flower. I suspect I will need to harvest somewhat early due to the condition of my plants.

I'm looking for mostly brown and curled pistils and cloudy trichomes - correct?

Here are a few bud shots....

Looking good, its still got a ways to go. Expect more pistils and hopefully some density. Ive read when you have about 20% red trichs but depends on your preference.
