Leaves turning light green then brown curling and dying

Plant is 5 weeks old, Using 5 plugin light various wattages and lumen outputs I so far have kept the lights on mostly 24/7 I don’t think this is harming it but I also feel like I should switch to 18hours day 6 hours night or something not sure if it would make a difference , I haven’t used any liquid nutrients yet and I’m thinking I need to get some maybe lacking nitrogen or potassium is my main guess, but I’m thinking maybe wind burn or something also I’m honestly not sure, I have one mini box fan blowing air in and one blowing air out . Humidity is kept in good range. Temp is kept in good range. Anyone know why leaves are doing this.

Looks like nutrient deficiency. You should've already been providing some about a week ago. Use something like General Hydroponics Flora Series, or something from Fox Farms. Absolutely do not use Miracle Grow.

I'd switch up your lighting to 18/6. Lots of reasons. I believe plants need downtime, and it'll save you some on your power bill.

What is the process of feeding it nutrients? When do I do it? And how do I determine how much to use?

Go to the GrowWeedEasy site and learn tons of what you need to know. Basically, you mix a certain amount of nutrients, based on many factors, such as age, into water, then water the plants. It's beneficial to balance the pH in your water after mixing in the nutrients, but soil acts as a buffer, and is more forgiving than hydro.

I like General Hydroponics' Floro series. Very easy to use, but that's just my preference.
