Have you flushed the soil? Something is off kilter. Do a good flush before you trash the grow.

Rainbow Trout, Green bud, and Bluegrass
Done a flush, triple checked pH, used foliar spray, you name it... Not only am I having bizarre yellowing issues, but these plants are stunted and slow growing.
I am most baffled because everything is constant from previous grows where things went smooth as silk...
I'm giving it til the end of the weekend to turn around

All the information about LST is here http://www.growweedeasy.com/lst. They have a "Steal" our articles policy http://www.growweedeasy.com/steal-our-articles. The techniques used is all in detail on the link.
Want to know how LST is done? It's all there...with pictures too.

I have a jungle of happy trees.
I read all of that site's info before starting my first grow. I'm looking forward to mainlining some photos in the future!

There was nice growth on the girls. I did a final anchor of the main stem. Did an adjustment on the bend. All's well.
Did rough them up a bit. Twisting and bending. Now it's just wait and adjust.
Note. The main stem needs to be anchored and the 1st bend is opposite the anchor, Let's say this. Anchor the main stem at 12:00. The start the bend at 6:00. Try and keep the main stem anchored firmly so the opposite bend really bends back away from the anchor. That way you can adjust the bend easier. Puts a good spring in the bend that holds the bend too.
I use safety pins pinned into the Smart Pots. Run the twist tie thru a hole in the top of the Smart Pot and then slip the tie into the hole in the safety pin; twist the tie to anchor.
Now that they are bent. The side branches will get a boost of growth. I'll be bending, pulling and adjusting the girls to get an even canopy.
Start early. Anchor the main stem. Bend the top growth in the opposite direction of the anchor. Then it's wait and have fun pulling down bud sites....lots of bud sites.
There is really no stress on the plants. They will come back almost instantly and try to reach the sun. Even after the 2nd day of LST you'll see side branches getting better growth than they would if the main stem cola was vertical. Technically there isn't a main cola, since the main cola stem is always horizontal. Giving the plant more energy to produce more "colas". Remember they are females that will produce as many fat bud sights as possible if you give her the right conditions. LST really will do just that.

Just a few days of Bud Bondage (LST) the side bud sites are now coming along with good growth. These side branches will turn into colas.
The wilting is due to needing a drink of fresh water. They are fine. "A" was the 1st to pop. She's smaller of the four. Very dark green. Backing off the nutrients on her. Nitrogen toxicity may be her little issue.
In the grow space pic. They look like somebody stepped on them. They will come back to normal within a few hours.

This is LST in action. The side bud sites are now in line with the "main" stem. They will be colas; not pop corn buds.
They are good and green. The lighting in the Den is giving off yellow light
