Greetings.

No sand, vermiculite, compost, guano's, basalts, myco etc?

Just peat and pearl at what ratio and what pH?

What do you feed them?

Yeah! I think he was better off in MG and needs to transplant again.
Advanced growers make their own soil.
If your not ready for that you need to buy a quality bag of soil.
If you have a hydro shop you can find it their.
If you are in the US a bag of MG might be $7
A good soil from the hydro store will cost about $20.

I can dig that. But the fish is 5-1-1 and that grow is idk.

Most important thing now is pH, you have no microbes in the rhizosphere to regulate the pH of your water. You get out of range to much plant is locked up.

You are the microbiology at this point.

Litmus strips, pH pen etc. Anything that will give you and idea of where it's at before dumping it in. Nobody can complain if they see you getting water quality test gear, it's common seeing how sheety most municipal water supplies are.

Alot of solid points in this thread to steer you in the right direction. I use fox farm ocean forest soil with added perlite. My plants stay nice and plush. The soil is ph balanced around 6.5. I start in burpee organics seed starting mix its coco coir and perlite and states their npk right on the bag from home depot for 4 bucks. Then about 15 days from sprout i uppot to fox farm ocean forest mix and then 42 days altogether i uppot for flower in the same mix. It has a lot of nitrogen to get u thru all stages. I only water and give pk in flower

Be careful using those ferts together like Cx2H said, they are both high in Nitrogen the 1st # in the NPK rating.
Happy frog is a good soil made by ff,. If you use it, the soil will need to be fed a bit sooner than ff ocean forest. FFOF Is usually a water only soil for 4-6 weeks. Not sure how long to water only in HF.
A big mistake growers make is to feed N to FFOF to soon causing problems.
I'm growing in FFOF right now along with other soil mixes. Some do not like it, some love it.
Some do not like how hot ffof is and mix it with happy frog.
Many will add 20% perlite to ffof for better drainage.

Are there any holes in those brown spots? If so,it could be leaf blight. Its also possible that you're having a phosphorous deficiency specially if the leaves look leathery or wrinkled.

They looked like that on my White Widow, idk, it's on all three plants. It starts out a grayish color then turned light brown

I really hope its not a leaf blight (bacteria) and just a phosphorous deficiency. Try bumping your phosphate and watch the new growth. After adding phosphate, new growth shouldnt have any brown spots.
