Newbie grower here and been having a tough go of things getting started.

My setup:
360 watts Led with 3000k and 5000k color spectrum.
32 x 32 grow tent
1 gallon fabric bag with 30% perlite/70% coco
Mega crop nutes at 1/4 to start, at 1/2 strength now. Added Cal mag for every feeding. I pH to just under 6, but haven't checked runoff...I was told it would never vary much from watered going in...is this true?

Plant is 8 weeks old and has been through hell, but has survived. Started yellowing in the clear cup she was in...she looked root bound but also had Green algae by the roots. No more clear container. Transplanted her to 1 gallon bag...still yellowing and now has burn marks on leaves. Transplant shock, nute problem...wait and see?

Thanks

Test the runoff for ph and ppm could be a lockout if your runoff is crazy high then you know shes not able to absorb the nutes. I've had lockout in soil and ppm on runoff was 2600. Did a flush and after a week she was fine. Photo plants I will start in solo cups or small pots all autos I run go directly into 3-5 gal fabric pots so they dont get root bound. I have a channel up on YouTube that has recently started and I will have tons of info up on it. @ the918farmer hope this helped!

could be nutrient burn, how much are you feeding and how regular

If that plant is 8 weeks, you may be waisting your time. You might consider starting over, or starting a new hobby. At 8 weeks it should be at least between 1 1/2 to 2' tall.

A quick update. She is doing way better. I think she was root bound and low on magnesium, hence the brown spots. Shes been through a lot...a day at 100 degrees, my cat ripping it out of the soil. No Cal mag for weeks, over watering, and algae in her clear pot (oops), I think she is good to go.

I think I am getting all the mistakes out of the way on this first plant.

As for finding a new hobby...nope. if at first you don't succeed...

Thanks for advice guys and gals.

The918farmer...I'll be checking your grow out. Thanks again.
