Please help first garden completly on my own with no onr to turn to for help! The four in five gallon buckets are clones have no clue what strain they are got them from a buddy the two that are in the small one gallon pots those are from seed don't know what strain they are I have been watering with Elite nutrients have been using green cleaner for a maintenance for pests. All of these or outdoor plants the two 1 gallons is strictly mother's Earth medium the ones in the buckets is a soil hp promix mix. I'm on a private well so I water with well water which normal pH before any nutrients is 6.6 - 6.8 after adding nutrients it drops to 6.3 - 6.5. Now the soil in the five gallon buckets is from last year's grow from outdoor because I didn't have the money to buy new soil when I had to transplant these. I can't think of anything else to put in here if you have any questions please feel free to ask I'll answer me as best as I can or if you would like more pictures of specific spots on the plants feel free to ask but any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh the link below has all the photos because I could not upload any of the full plant ones.

🌱 Sorry no one saw this until now! Using old soil doesn't seem like a good idea but I've never done it so I can't really comment. At the very least, it means the soil doesn't have the original ratios and levels of nutrients, which makes it suspect since you are running into deficiencies. The yellow seedlings look like they might be underwatered since the soil looks so dry. It sounds like you're measuring the pH of the water going in, which is great. Have you tried measuring the pH of the water coming out the bottom? If it comes out way too high or low, you know that's the problem. It's definitely something to consider since that's the most common reason for nutrient deficiencies. The bigger plants look beautiful so once you get the yellowing to stop they'll do great! You mentioned you're using Elite nutrients, which I'm not familiar with. Are you using their vegetative stage schedule? 🌱
 
That I have not and I can't believe I totally forgot to do That! Yes I am running the veg state A/B/C and root igniter. The little seedlings it's seems like there taking for ever to soak up the water that I feed them which I only water around the base of the plant because of them being so small in the size of pots there in.
 
🌱 So you've been giving more water to the seedlings? You should be giving them enough water that it lasts for 2-3 days. If you have to water more often it means you should be giving more water at a time. Are they droopy? Have they grown at all? What's the temperature and humidity where the plants are at? It looks like you might be outside. Are their roots being kept cool and out of direct sunlight (roots don't like being heated up from the sun beaming on the side of a pot)? If that's the case, you can put the whole pot in a slightly bigger pot, and it'll leave a little air gap that keeps the roots from heating up too much. This only applies if it's really hot and sunny. 🌱
 
The ph of the water coming out is 6.2. yes I have been given the seedlings more water. Yes it is an outdoor grow and the five gallon buckets are the ones I'm really concerned about because of the yellowing of the leaves is starting at the bottom working its way to the top the new growth leaves at the top are starting to curl up the tips are starting to burn almost like Nuit Burn but it's not. I have brown spots, leaves are dying at bottom. I can post more pictures when I get home. I was doing some thinking last night and I realized that the four in the five gallon buckets are clones all the others are seedlings well I've been feeding the Clones the same feeding schedule as the seedlings which the Clones are farther along than the seedlings so I'm thinking that mine dumb self haven't been giving this clones enough nutrients. I also may not be giving the seedlings enough nutrients as well with elites feeding schedule I'm supposed to be feeding 3 Mills of ABC and root igniter well last night I bump that up to 15 because I'm well into week 8 veg outdoor with the seedlings. With Elite nutrients in soil they say start at half strength, that's why only 3ml per gal was being fed and I was making individual 1 gal mixture. The clones I know are well past that so yesterday I made up 5gals of nuit solutions and fed the girls about 3/4 to 1 gal each per 5gal pot/bucket(whatever you want to call them) . Oh I also added mammoth to my feeding reg. I have 5 seedlings that I transplanted in the ground about a week ago into about 7gal holes and filled them with hp promix. Now those on the other had are straight loving there new home. Pics to come this afternoon. So I figured with the nuit increase I'll wait a couple of days and see if things improve.

*Added the small #1 in the black pot only get watered around the base for the most part and only get any where from 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 depending on temp out side and how long the dry spells are.

my thing is I can't get out of my own head and when I was looking at the girls last night I was man all my problems a
look like nuit deficiency. The I was duh there starving and lacking nuits. Atleast I'm hoping, there I go again back in my head. Lol. Thanks again guys, like i said will post pics later today.

🌱 The holes are from bugs, probably caterpillars, but it doesn't look too bad yet. You want to get an insecticide made for caterpillars called "BT Spray" it works pretty well. Just curious, could you test the pH of the water coming out the bottom after watering? If it's coming out a lot higher or lower than the water going in, it might be a sign that the pH of the soil itself is too high or low. The pH is the most common reason for deficiencies, so that's definitely the next thing to check. Could you post a picture of the entire plant if possible, so we can get a feel for how bad it is? I'm not familiar with those nutrients, but if you have questions, you can contact the nutrient company and they'll usually get back to you within a few days. 🌱
