I dont say this often mate, as we like to save all plants, but i dont think this is savable. All of the big fan leaves have gone, and th smaller ones wont recover, so fo rthe rest of the grow the plant wont be able to function properly.

Something like this takes a while to get so bad, I wish you would have come to us sooner. 

Could be extreme nitrogen or potassium deficiency, but could also be down to bad mites damage. Its hard to tell without the leaves there to look for symptoms.

What advanced nuits are you feeding it? Sensi bloom?

Just my 2 cents but looks like salt burn maybe....badly. I'm wondering if that batch of soil is no good and causing ph problems since it's been re used. Also....if these plants have been binned.....can you show us the other plants? To have some comparison?

@colacody to everything else is fine mate only tjem 2 I’m wondering whether it’s the cuttings normally I take the top heads of the mother for cuts but Iv took some lower down off the same branch as well they took longer to root than the top head cuts an I’m sure it’s them that I’m having the problems with now what do you think

@stanley2020 could be bad cuttings but....I've never taken clones and actually after this harvest will be looking deeper into it. How many other plants do you have?

@stanley2020 I'm wondering if they got an infection after the fan leaves were pulled....it can happen and if they get something that goes into the system of the plant....its usually game over. You said that you had defoliated and then it happened?

@stanley2020

The plants use the lower fan leaves to buffer the plant, stores food or draws food from the large fan leaves ( never good to remove all of them)

you removed all of them so this plant went into shock (some plants are stronger than others)  and you gave the plant food, plant had no where to get rid of the extra food so the plant started storing it in the small leaves and over time got worse. 

you could of flush the plant with lots of water and wait a week to see if she recovers but its not going to give you a good harvest

@stanley2020 general rule of thumb for a flush is 3x the size of the pot. So in a 15 liter pot....that's 45l water per pot....may have not flushed enough....but again these plants may have been a bit weaker and not able to hold up to the stress

@stanley2020 anytime man. It's hard when they are that far gone tho man...clones are touchy but couldve been many things there....likely a poorly developed cutting. If there were struggles in the beginning then it's a sign of a problem. How many plants you got growing?

@stanley2020 this could be a few things mate, from potassium excess, to mag, deficiency and sulphur deficiency......hmmmmmm

Are you using "PH Perfect" nuits?

@stanley2020 ya man that leaf looks like a salt build up and possible ph issue like @macky said. I'd give em a really good flush and then refeed as macky suggested....p.s I'm still not the police hahaha

you have reused the soil a couple of times to there no lime/shells to keep the ph at 6.5 

did you remove all the roots from the soil because this will effective drainage and roots can rot ?

your giving the plants a strong amount of nutes while removing the leaves on the plant ?

The leaves go brown and dry up and you give it a flush, did you try dropping the ec to 1.0 and see how she goes ?

when add nutes do you check the ph after adding the nutes  to the water ?

you need the ph level to be 6.5 for soil or you can cause lock out in the root mass

@jacks_farm ya this is exactly what I was thinking man. I'm not a fan of heavy defoliating for that reason and the plants use the leaves for the food because it can take nutrients from the leaves faster than the roots. And being a clone....the root system may have not been as strong to support it either and then bam....shock and then all done. Happens with plants sometimes

your right,

I have defoliated a lot of plants over the years but only when you really need too and you really need to know what your doing and how the plant will react.

what  are you the police

No mate, this is a forum for personal growers only, and the fact you had 48 cuttings raises concerns to us, that you are not growing for personal use..... 

So we like to know, how many plants are you growing? How much floor space do you use? And how many lights?

Thats all good then ate, thats what i thought. I have done similar in the past, taken 5 cuts from each plant and ended up with farrrr too many lol. I only grow a maximum of 8, 4 in 2 tents. one tent veg/ auto, and one for flowering photoperiod plants Smile

see it could be an imbalance in the ph then mate and thats causing lock out for some nutrients. pH in soil should be around 6.5, and the ph perfect can bring the ph right down to 5.8.

Also, when I used advanced, i never went over 2ml per litre, and that was for some hefty plants man. You seem to be more like 3ml per litre, and that can be a problem too. 

Might be the bud ignitor too. 

I would flush the medium to get rid of loads of the salts, and then refeed at a light dose with just the bloom and micro, no grow, and no ignitor or big bud. Just the micro and bloom

If they pick up in a week or so, i would consider adding big bud for a week, maybe two, and then overdrive to finish them off.
