2 amnesia haze, 2 big bud and 2 chocolopes planted 4/20 and grown mostly outside in 10gal fabric pots in mix of potting soil, manure and perlite. Added ILGM fertilizer 4 weeks ago when the leaves began yellowing. 1 Chocolope started turning near white in new growth areas, and now 4/6 have the same issue. 1 Chocolope looks okay but its leaves are yellowed too. Is there any way to save these ladies?? Help!
Its normal to shed a few leaves but your plants looks hungry. I dont use those nutes but you said you fed them 4 weeks ago? Consistantly from then or just once?

Started 4 weeks ago, and fed them 1-2x/week. Added a cal mag iron supplement 2 weeks ago based on advice in another thread. As an FYI, I had a bunch of autos I started at the same time under the same conditions and they came out great. The only thing I can think of was that due to heavy rains our pool overflowed and the fabric pots were sitting in that water for a day or two. That was 3 weeks ago. Also used a little neem oil when I noticed partially eaten leaves.
Im no expert, but it looks to me like they need some nutrients. These are my 4 I have growing, two Godfather OGs, and two strains Ive been growing for years. I had that issue one time, it was the only time I tried growing in pots, instead of in the ground.

All I give mine besides water every day, is Neptunes Harvest, 2-4-1 a cpl times a year. I do put a mixture of cow, pig, horse, and chicken manure prob 2-3 feet deep in my garden beds every fall after I harvest. So its perfect for next years crop.

@BBrown so you got them tree’s straight in the ground they look good
I do, but soon as I harvest this year, Ill dump a bunch more of my mixture of different manures on there, an till it up real good. Do the same thing every year.
Yes: plants are hungry. You need a decent jolt of N-P-K at this point in flower. Yellow leaves will not improve FYI. You can remove them when they release easily.
PH could also play a role. It would be nice to do a slurry test to see what the native PH is of your medium.
PH is likely an issue. I really have no options but tap water and my towns water is shot - super hard and measuring around a 7.5 last time I used a meter. I’ve considered filling a jug and adding lemon juice to reduce the ph but I’m somewhat lazy and it seems like a hassle 
My wife noted that the lower, newer budlings looked normal and now I’m wondering if the pool chlorine may have caused an isolated effect for all growth while the chemicals were present a la the deviations in a tree’s rings which identify years of flooding and drought? Is my hair brained theory possibly correct?
Howdy
I don’t think that would have helped ,sitting in chlorinated water from your overflowing pool…
When you normally water with your tap water, are you de-chlorinating your water, letting it sit overnight will get rid of chlorine.
Probably a combination of the chlorine and the ph being way off from the pool water. They do look nitrogen deficient that also cold be from ph of pool water and getting that big flushing that washed everything out of soil.
These are only guesses.
Felt motivated today so I tested the ph of my tap water today and it is around 7.5. I filled a 5 gal jug and then added a few splashes of lemon juice which lowered the ph to slightly higher than 6.5. I then distributed 1 gal among the 6 plants and plan to do that every other day.
Will this be effective if the high ph has caused nutrient lockout?
Will adding some nutrients such as nitrogen and cal/mag/iron enhance this? Not a significant amount - just a teaspoon mixed into the jug so there are slight amounts every watering?
Does anyone have any additional suggestions? These girls have been under my daily care for over 4 months so I am too invested to just toss any of them.

Also, the fabric pots now sit on plastic pans so if the pool overflows again, none of the water will touch the pots.
Check the pH of the water after adding your nutrients to the water. It will be different.
If it were me, Id try and find some aged cow manure, and liquefy some fish, give that to them. But thats what I do with mine. If ya cant get any fish cheaply, Neptunes Harvesr 2-4-1 is liquefied herring. Besides my PH, all I worry about is making sure they have Phosphorus, Potassium, and nitrogen. When or if my leaves start looking to light of a green, Ill give em a little more quickly. This time of year, its hard to “over feed” mine though, theyre ALWAYS hungry.
