- Whatever s in my jars
maybe some sort of lockout one of the soil growers on here will help you out they are in soil arnt they i grow in coco myself
P.s. it's a bottom layer of sand, Coco coir, pearlite, and miracle grow potting soil. Oh measuring about a pH of 7 on my probe and the soil is wet at the bottom According to the probe. Idk how to safely change the pH. Or really the correct way to change it in general if thats it but I heard that miracle grow doesn't require phing.

I also use Miracle-Gro shake and feed all purpose plant food. And as per the suggestion of another pot head due to the possibility nitrogen deficiency and lack of supplies and knowledge, urine. (High nitrogen content) I only put a small amount of miracle grow in each pot. I don't know what all these Bloom nutes and veg nutes and stuff are, but which particular nutrient should I be feeding these plants? And when? Anyone have links on Amazon?

Well until someone can help ya a little better, I'll give you a little direction. Stop peeing on your plants lol !!!!!
The best way to kill your plants is too much Light, water, and nutrients. On your next watering I would give them a good flush of strait PH'd water untill you get a good amount of run off.
Hopefully someone comes around to fix ya up a little further,, but until then just start with that.
(edit) You're probably going to want to talk to someone that grows in MG soil. MG has ferts already in the soil so it's hard to say when you will need to supplement it with more. You have to look at your plant. You plant has very dark green leaves and burnt up ones. So to me that indicates too much nutrient. Your plant is starting to flower, so you should know that in this stage you want to slowly back away from (N) nitrogen not add more. If you notice on your bottles and soil they will all have a N-P-K value. Google Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (N,P,K) and understand how they work in your grow.

I also have a 1000w white and two 400w red grow lights about two-3 feet above them in the enclosure.24/7 due to temp concerns. Don't really wanna keep running a little desk heater all night in the thing. Use an inkbird temp controller for turning it on/off.
noone special
I am noone ... just a figment of your imagination.

hi mate .. not a soil guy but plants are plants ... your plants seem to have burn and lockout lol .. for the next week+ ph your water and use fresh water each time to water the girls and flush your soil/roots of whatever is causing them to be sick. pretty soon they will be looking happier as they stabilise and by then one of the soil guys will be able to help you along the path.
if you are worried about overnight temps you can always make mini humidity cribs for the girls with a large clear plastic bag inflated over the top and secured around the pot at night ... bonus points for the co2 capture
personally Id cut your lighting to 4/20 for sleep/root growth but thats your call
good luck

That plant looks like you have fried the shit out of it with too much nute, particularly N. Do not us MG soil next time. MG has timed released nutrients which screw with the whole program as it releases all the nutes later on down the line and you don't know what to do because you don't know how much time release fertilizing is going on. By the time you realize something is awry, it's too late and you pH is way off and everything goes to hell. Those plants are not going to do alot, but stay with it for the learning experience. Flush the pots with 3X the volume of the pot with pure water. After flushing, go back in with a weak 400-500 ppm nutes. Miracle Gro used to be a dirty work around this forum, haven't seen anybody use it for awhile.
