I'd go with what @vaporz said. Your soil doesn't look like it has much airiation to it

if i read post right,,the plant giving trouble is in 1.5gallon pot currently? Im just guessing here because I dont know what your goals for this grow are, but Im gonna assume you will be potting up to a bigger container....I would take the opportunity to add perlite at that time if you plan on potting up to larger container size that is...adding perlite may not fix your issues but i dont think it can hurt anything either...as the other member was saying "check your roots"...he may be hinting at plant being rootbound in the 1.5 gallon container, and I guess thats possible too...alot of things it can/can't be to be honest....but adding perlite and transplant to bigger container shouldnt hurt you if you use caution during the transplant if you go that route, probably want to go for a 3 gallon container minimum,,if your grow style/area allows it..maybe even a 5 gallon container

You need more light or go lighter on your nutes. You're feeding too heavy for that amount of light.

I would transplant and you could do it cheap too.

just get yourself some inexpensive organic potting soil and add in a shitload of good perlite.

if you have the money to spend I would do this... buy a big bag of fox farm ocean forest and a bag of fox farm big n chunky perlite... mix in like 50% perlite and it will drain fast.


Another trick I do growing under LED is to use seedling soil for the life of the plant.

I have seedling soil in a 3.5 gallon container growing a blue mystic right now and my plant starts to droop after 3 days.. Its great because you literally cant over water

I would not transplant until she's healthy again, 1.5 gallon is fine for that size plant. Let her dry out a little and add more lumens and she'll perk right up!

Id buy a mars hydro 300 led light too. you want your nodes to just stack on each other.

something like this.

this is a blue mystic growing under mars 300 and growing in seedling soil.
