Sick Ladies in Flower

[wheelchairwilly]

I was given 6 clones from another patient who had a few too many plants. They were nearly 3 feet tall and in a 1 gallon bag, just starting to flower. They were not a dark green. I transplanted them into 5 gallon bags, and 3 eventually turned dark green, while the other three are a still very pale green, about 2 weeks into flower. I have a feeling they may have been getting heavy nutes, as some in the ground were getting a heavy dosage of miracle grow. I have only watered with plain water, although the ph is a bit high. How can I bring the other 3 back?

What is the ph of the soil? It should be between 6.3-6.8. If it is out of those ranges problems can occur. Darkness of the green can be strain dependent. What strain is this? Does the yellowing start at the bottom and move up the plant? Why do you think they were getting heavy nutes and when was the last time they were fertilized? Also, pictures help as well. Finally, on a personal note, if you don't mind me asking, what put you in the wheelchair?

I don't have a pH tester for the soil. It is an indica skunk, a little bit of purple, no idea on strain. They are all from the same mother, that is why I am concerned that only 3 turned dark green. The entire plant (all of em) were yellowed when I got em. I watched some of the plants get watered that were in the ground and they were being given heavy doses of miracle grow crystals/powder. I assume these were given heavy nutes as well. I watered a few weeks ago with a 1/4 dose of GH 3-part.

Sounds like they are hungry for N. The plants need plenty of N right before flowering and if they don't have a lot right before flower, they can prematurely start to yellow. Yellowing will go from the bottom to the top. Providing the last time they were fed was 3 weeks ago, I would say go ahead and feed them with a fert high in N. You could probably feed them at full strength because they sound like they are used to fertilizer by now.
