Please diagnos my weed leaf problem

My plant started off well. It is in a 5 gallon fabric grow bag. I used fox farm growing soil. It's in a grow tent. I didn't fertilize until 1 week ago using fox farm fertilizer. Humidity stays between 40 to 55%. Temp varies from 65 at night to 75 during day. I did add a second grow light because I have 2 plants at different stages. I thought it could be light burn so I turned off second light. Both lights are LED vs1000.
I hope someone can diagnos my problem and tell me how to fix it.
Thank you in advance.

Looks a little droopy, but if you had taken the pic shortly after watering, that would explain that. Watering up to 3 times in 7 days seems a little excessive, but some plants use more and some use less...how much of the soil are you checking? Just the surface or an inch or so down under the surface?

I wouldn't say it was caused by light burn, that would fuck up your top leaves.

Yes it is an early symptom of a calcium deficiency, however I would increase the feed a little bit before adding any Cal mag as Your plants look a little bit light anyway so increasing your feed should do the trick I would hold off on the calmag

When you say the feed do you mean fertilizer?

I check about 1 inch into the soil. I had actually taken the pics this morning and I watered it last night.

Since you’re in soil you probably won’t even need the Cal mag but I guess it’s good to have on hand.

I see a problem Watering 2/3 times a week in a 5 gallon pot. you gotta fix this or root rot and knats are coming soon enough much less leave problems like these I see. screw the one inch dry thing. when you water pick the pot up and feel weight full and 5-7 days later very light is water time. fabric pots are perfect for this. NOw, 5 gallon pot water only 5-7 days and try going the full 7 days. These plants like to dry out before watering. Do this right and day 2/3 after water they will explode with growth.

Don't do this often hopefully one time to learn but let it go till the lower leaves start dropping. That's when you need to water the day before that. learn from it.

Now the nuts. I am not going to tell you some chemistry problem. You need to scale back till growth and plant like it. most new should be 25-50 percent of prescribed nuts till you see the plant likes it. This plant can pull out of it but not over watering and nut burn. good luck

Just to piggy back this...I am about to up-pot my 6week old plants that are currently in 1 gal pots and I have to water them about every 2.5days, I was going 3days but that lead to underwatering...I have never used 5gal pots, but I would think they would take a little longer to dry out than 2-3 days especially if the entire thing is saturated. I could certainly be wrong on this, and anyone, please feel free to correct me, it just seems a little weird.

Thank you for the watering advise. The only part I don't understand is you are talking about pulling back on the nuts and nut burn??? I don't understand what you mean. This is my first time of growing so I don't understand the terminology.

anytime a plant doesn't look good if you don't have much experience most often a newbie over nutrients the problem and now we have more issues usually a burned nut plant. go with the less vs more idea till the plant resumes a positive look so the plant comes out of the issue that is usually weak.

looking again at the plant it looks good. Id reduce the nuts a water till resuming good growth. nail the water cycle and Id say by 2 water cycles or 10 days all is well. pictures usually dont take well so based on the light color I wouldn;'t be happy. see my pic. I don't usually comment on nuts because everyone has an opinion on best.
