I'm no tc, but that looks like nute burn.
How long have the plants been in the 3gal bags of ffof?
How often do you feed and are you testing the ppm/ec of your nute solution?
There could be a lil bit more food left in the soil causing them to burn a bit when you feed. Did this problem appear shortly after a feeding?
I'm sure you're aware of this but, even if your plants are getting the appropriate amount of nutrients, they wont be available if the ph is off.
Since you don't know the ph of your soil,I would test the run off ASAP to be certain you're not locking out nutrients.

Thanks FJ for your advice.
They have been in them bags since I took the clones and transplanted
Here is the mom and babies They were taken 8/12/13
I try and feed them every other watering? No I dont test for ppm/ec I would love to but dont have the money for those tools yet!Soon in the future.
I did notice this start happen alittle after I fed. It been a week or so since I took this pic.Also they needed water like 3 day ago And I plan on harvesting at the beginning of November so I Started to flush?? Or I just gave each one like 6 gallons of plan ph ed water Now should I do that again or no, kinda knew to the flushing . Well with that said my soil is still wet I should I wait till it dries to test the soil ph? And I normally do check my soil run off but I guess I got lazy that day.

I'd say over feeding is the issue here.

Did you actually flush or are you asking me if you should? Sorry you lost me there.
A lot of growers flush differently. I flush my girls 3x in their life cycle. Once in the last week of veg. Once @ week 6 of flower. and then once more a week before the chop.

Yes wait until your next watering to test the run off. Since you're only in 3gal bags it shouldn't take long for them to dry out. Especially since they're in ffof....which has great drainage to begin with.

I smoked some widow and started typing sorry .I kinda new it was nute. burn but was not sure. So on my last watering I gave them 6 gallons of good water. Im not to worried about the burn this late in flower but I want to make sure all the nute. are gone for a really good smoke. I dont want to taste that shit. So basic I ran 6 gallons threw to get all the extra crap out of the soil so it does not keep hurting her . Thats my thought process on that maybe Im wrong Now on my next watering should I give her like 9 gal.?Then wait till dry and harvest?

nah I'd let them recover from the flush. water normally for one or two waterings and then hit them again. Are you sure those plants are gonna be ready by the begining of november? they still look like they've got a ways to go yet.

Your problem is nute lockout. You can feed your plant as little or as much as you'd like, but if the PH isn't correct your plant's roots won't be able to uptake the available nutrients and that'll cause the roots to burn resulting in nutrient lockout.

Get a PH tester, mix your nutrient solution and test it's PH. Adjust PH as needed and start feeding your plants again.
I'd come back and hit them with just a quarter strength nutrient solution at first though. If (when) they take that up with no problem and judging by how little of a problem they have taking up the quarter strength nutrient solution is how you can determine whether or to gradually and or immediately begin return to your normal feeding regimen.

Where are you getting this? He knows what the pH is. It's stated in the first post, and is right where it should be.

From a cloud of smoke appearently, haha. I was reading in one of these threads that somebody said they didn't know what their ph was and was having problems, that's how. Upon rereading the original post must have gotten this thread mixed with another one.

I don't think those plants are close to being harvested either. "Flushing" is done by running 3 times the amount of plain ph'ed water (or you can use a clearing agent in the water) through each gallon of soil used. Plants being flushed for harvest should be flushed for 10-14 days before harvesting for a better finished product.
They look worse. They do not appear as if they have any sort of deficiency though. Looks like classic nute burn. I'd flush those suckers out for a few days to wash away the excess nutrients, tear away those fan leaves that are damaged and check the ph of the soil.

Have they received any nutrients since? I wouldn't flush again.
How far into flowering are they?

I had the same thing going on some of my plants during this grow. I attributed it to ph issues and letting the EC get too high.
