I have posted in the past before with problems of yellowing leaves and after making the advised changes, I have found myself having the same issue several months later. I began growing these plants on March 5th. I started with the 12-hour on/off light cycle about two weeks ago and the plants are just looking awful.

I had initially had the plants in regular-sized pots and when advised that my problems could be fixed by potting-up, I did so immediately. As of right now, I have about nine female plants in those five-gallon buckets that you usually get paint in. I am finding once again that the edges of the plants are yellowing and a great deal of the leaves are sort of shriveling up and falling off the bottom. I first noticed it starting, when the edges of the plants all of a sudden began curling under.

Here is a quick look at the set-up that I have right now.

I only water when the dirt feels completely dry, which averages out to about every three-days. The temperature down there is 80 degrees fahrenheit most of the time, and I keep a fan blowing on them at all times. They are starting to bud, but I'm just worried that they're going to wind up dying before anything really comes. I also find that the plants themselves are incredibly sparse. Months ago, I started using All Purpose Plat Food, 24-8-16, but didn't like the way the plants started to look, so I flushed it out about a month ago. Any ideas? As an added note, I started reading around and found that some of this could be caused by the fact that I'm using filtered well-water. Could that be it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like they are locking out multiple nutes, probably down to high temps, pH issues and/or them getting too dry from time to time.

You might want to get an idea of the quality of the water you are using, pH and EC at least...

How high is the temperature at the canopy with the lights on? What soil are they in and what feed have they had?

You need to sort this out in veg imo, it's only going to get worse in flower.

Looks to me like a combination of 2-3 things are wrong here. PH to low, Calcium(CA) & Magnesium (MG) deficiency.

I would start by going to 24h lights & checking // ajusting your PH. Than some Epsom Salt. (1 teaspoons per Quart, watering, feeding), (1 teaspoon per Gallon, Foliar Spray, (Once per day.))

Changing back to Vegging will shock the ladies but will help to resolve health issues.

Also noticing the fairly wider leaves but looks like alot of stretch. More direct longer sunlight, or bring the lights closer.
