If you have the space I would keep the plants. They may not produce huge but you should still be able to get a decent yield. Be careful with chemical fertilizers as it's easy to use too much especially with younger plants. I prefer organic liquids. They can be more expensive but can be more forgiving. Whenever I try a new fertilizer I start with 1/4 what the label recommends for a week or two. If the plant looks good then I'll go to 1/2 does for a couple weeks. Then 3/4 and finally full dose if the plant is happy. If you start to get brown tips on the leaves go back to lower fertilizing and maybe even flush the soil to wash away excess nutrients.

Cause is feeding. Look up flushing to clense the soil. And feed only a quarter of what the instruction says and only once a week. Plant is still young. Add a couple of extra vegging weeks and she will be great.

No need to remove the ugly leaves, just wait for them to drop off. In the meantime they will be still producing energy for your plants to continue growing and removing them will slow your plants recovery. It is up to you whether you keep going, they will recover eventually, but often if you start again, the new seedlings will probably be bigger and better sooner than it will take for these seedlings to fully recover and return to full health and continue growing properly. The plant in pic 4 looks to be worth keeping, as to the rest, it is debatable, but some seem to have healthier looking new growth starting, so could also be candidates for continuing with. Seeing as they are fems (yay!!) and you are not constrained by time frames associated with autos, you could extend the veg period until they fully regain health, so this is another plus for keeping going with these plants. Personally and in truth, I probably would have restarted/replanted already. Hope this helps,............. Organoman.

Hi, if it was me firstly I would stay away from MG for this particular plant, I would flush the medium "completely" and then start a "light" feed regime like say 1/4 strength and build from there, good luck👍
