FFOF is good for 3-4 weeks max.
You have to start feeding. Lightly.
Clawing is not always nute related.

Fox farm is good if you know how to use it. Agree with Saltz on the claw too. That could be wind, overwater, heat ect

Not sure how you have your fans setup but I’d put one blowing above and below the canopy , not directly on them. That’s when some curl can happen, not saying that’s the prob either. Just not directly blasting them

What kind of water are you using?

1/2 strength feeding with whatever you use, and 5ml of calmag per gallon of water used. Then give her a few days to resurrect.
All you did was use the soil til it was spent. Remember how long that was? Keep it noted for this strain at least. Feed 1 week before the date of these pics to catch it before it's looking like that.

Those plants don’t look like they have nitrogen toxicity. They’d be super dark green and glossy and claw . They are getting hungry . As said before , by other guy . . Fox farm is a hot soil . Should be good for the first 20-30 days , depending on watering habits . Also it’s soil is prebuffered at 6.3. I like ff. It’s simple to use . Just my opinion

Do you know the ppm and pH?
Click to expand...
ppm is around 40 and ph varies i water in between 6.3 and 6.8
this grow im shooting for organics. i just top dressed the plants with gaia greens 2-8-4 and was gonna see if that will hold these autos off until buds are ripened. im in preflower stretch now. have you had any experience with gaia greens fertilizers? heres a pic for ya

That's awesome man. Your well water is cleaner than mine. Lucky you. Mine's not bad at like 150 and around 7.6-7.8 pH, but yours is better. I'm jealous. I had a feeling you were going for organics, but I had to ask first because it makes a difference.

Now that I know the water you've been giving, reaffirms to me that it looks like the start of Cal and Mag deficiency on those lower leaves. FFOF is a little short on Mg I thought. Makes sense with your soft water.

I've never used Gaia, but it's good stuff. One thing I've heard is to give it less than you think, because it can burn. So less more often.

Also, organics like that take awhile to break down. So plan on a couple weeks before you see much change after top dressing with that.

One thing I like to do now, is to mix my dry amendments with some compost or EWC and a little pumice and keep it moist, but still let it breathe. If the mix is hot, then let it cook longer, until it's room temp. Then less worry about burning up the plants with hot amendments.
