Man you brought her back to life! Good shit bro
Cheers guys! It's my first ever grow, so I was bound to make a few mistakes. Even though I was convinced that I'd done way more than enough research, well I was far from wrong, which is what brought me here!nice recovery
SHe just wanted some attention... womenMine started like that and I ignored it, then this happened:

Came here and found a few good guys that helped me out with troubleshooting what the reason behind it could be.
The things we'd looked at were:
• Water PH
• Room Temperature
• Room Humidity
• Nitrogen Toxicity
• Lights too close
• Soil too hot (Nutrient Rich)
I'd noticed the temperature for a few days had increased drastically to around 30-35°C (85-95°F), so I started leaving the tent open while the lights are on and to increase the humidity I'd put a big bowl of water in the tent.
I'd also noticed my light was producing a lot of the heat and my plant was very short and bushy, so I raised it for a few days to see how she would react and almost instantly the plant started stretching for the light within a day or two and the heat on the canopy had decreased a lot.
Another thing I wasn't testing my PH properly and didn't realize my PH levels were around 8.0 which is not good for your plants at all, so I invested in a PH meter and started by flushing my soil and correcting the soil PH with just plain PH'd water.
I was a bit skeptical on the Nitrogen Toxicity as I was only giving her plain water, but after a bit of research I'd found out that maybe my PH was locking out the plant from uptaking nutrients from the soil or maybe it could be increasing the amount of Nitrogen it's uptaking.
So my opinion if that was possibly the problem, then the previous step I took by flushing the soil should resolve it.
Now this is what I later read about and understoodand that could've potentially been the main reason behind all this and that's the soil being too nutritious. For example, Fox Farm Soil is rich in nutrients and can feed your plant for a good few weeks without any additional nutrients being added. If you add extra nutrients early on then there's a high possibility of seeing deficiencies/toxicities on your plant.
After all these slight alterations, I'd managed to get her looking like this in just under 2 weeks:

After that I just did a bit of trimming and got rid of all the old growth that wasn't really that beneficial and that had been affected earlier with a bit more LST, she now looks like this on day 39:

I've heard that BioBizz All-Mix is pretty much the alternative to Canna Terra Pro Mix, which means that it contains a fair amount of nutrients in the medium itself that could last for the first few weeks of your plants growth without the need to feed extra nutrients.i measure my ph tp 6.2/6.3 , that is the good range for my soil . My soil is well know , its all mix from biobizz, anyone have a clue if it could be the problem ? Also my humidity last days was very low like 34% . if u notice in the pick they even form some circular shapes
Feed it, your soil isn't strong enough.i measure my ph tp 6.2/6.3 , that is the good range for my soil .

Don't! BioBizz All-Mix comes already packed with nutrients for the first few weeks! Wouldn't surprise me if he fed it already at this stage and that's why this has happened! Have a look at Nitrogen Toxicity and you'll see what I mean.Feed it, your soil isn't strong enough.
Yup no little sprout in soil needs to be fed at that stage.Don't! BioBizz All-Mix comes already packed with nutrients for the first few weeks! Wouldn't surprise me if he fed it already at this stage and that's why this has happened! Have a look at Nitrogen Toxicity and you'll see what I mean.

Go to the hydro store and buy a bottle of ph down.How do you lower your ph ?
I'm growing in soil using great white and feeding 15 ml big bloom per gal. Of water every other watering, I read that those ph down chemicals for hydro kill the beneficial bacteria, and was wondering if ther was vinegar or something else organic that works best in your experience, but thank you for stating the obvious...Go to the hydro store and buy a bottle of ph down.
Sorry you didnt specifically say that. This is what i started using. Its super potent, i need to mix it with water so i can measure it out more accurately. A pinch drops 20 galls of water from 8.5 to 6.5ish (depending on how big of a pinch lol) 10 pounds will last you a lifetime.I'm growing in soil using great white and feeding 15 ml big bloom per gal.

All leaf edges would burn in the light from lack of water, if you apply too much nitrogen to your lawn outside you will see the same effect. I can agree if you showed me nitrogen tox seedlings but that one above isn't.Don't! BioBizz All-Mix comes already packed with nutrients for the first few weeks! Wouldn't surprise me if he fed it already at this stage and that's why this has happened! Have a look at Nitrogen Toxicity and you'll see what I mean.

Soil holds a vast resovoirs of buffers that keep its pH within the right range, adding amounts of pH up or down to nutrients is not going to make any difference in the soil.
