Plants in veg looks close to dying - Help!

Hello!

Got 4 plants in veg that basically all looks like the one in the pics.

They grow upwards with a single main stem and practically noe side brancing

Leafes in the top are light green and curl down

Leafes under the 2 highest sets turn yellow very quick and fall off

Rootzone is underdeveloped with thin roots

Drink slow and grow slow

They were in 85%+ humidity for a while, like 2 days after the ducking out fell off without me noticing so i guess that its a root problem (root rot?) All the deficiencies seen in the leaves could be a result of that

So I would be forever grateful if any of the pros here could give me some help to identify what this is and hopefully if it is any thing a could to to fix!!!

Thnx!!!

I have removed some of the lower leaves and some have fallen off by them selves.

Growing in 50% coco with 30% perlite and 20% clay pebbles.

Top watered every second day with no higher than 0,6 EC and up to 20% run of. Adjusted ph to about 5,8 everytime, Mine helpers had manage to not see at big crack in the outgoing duckting and humidty was at above 85% for a few days... Inndor growing in 4*4 tent.

First, I would supercrop above the 2nd or 3rd node and strap her over so she can't stand right back up. Move your light closer/get better light?
Then start feeding 2x/day @0.6 to decent runoff. Should perk up within a couple days, if not go to 0.7EC, continue.

I'm thinking the op isn't adding enough if any calcium or magnesium either, the new growth is wilting and stunted. I'm curious as to what is being used to feed the plant.

That plant looks like it’s starving, feed it. You didn’t tell us anything about medium, nutes, lighting, etc so we really can’t help much, but that plant looks hungry.
Coco/perlite medium. Switched from plastic pots to air pots a week a go after they started showing problems a week before that. Been feeding them 0,6 with compost tea and Iguana Juice (advanced nutriton) + aptus root booster and mycorizza. The same as I always use without problems...

They are standing with the tops about 10 - 15 inch under two HLG quantum boards running combined at ca. 100 watt

this isnt plant food except the iguana juice. need calmag in coco too. Mix 5ml calmag per gallon of water and then add nutrients to water. feed 2ec with runoff. going forward, feed 1.5ec with runoff everyday, adjust as necessary

There is a lot of clay pellets in there, next time ditch most of them. You said you water every other day, with that amount of drainage you should be watering at least twice a day IMO. I water 3-4 times a day in my 50/50 coco perlite, and just use jacks 123 nutes as recommended on the bottle, nothing fancy needed.

You’re growing in the wrong medium if you are trying to grow organic with compost teas and such.
Did a 2 plant comparison a while ago: 1 plant with only syntetic base nutes and boosters and 1 plant where I added some organic stuff. I also did this growth in the same medium with coco, perlite, pebbles. The one which also got some organic stuff gave the same weight but tasted and looked better.

Use tea as base nutrition with Aptus boosters now and is highly satisfied:)

Are you saying you did a side by side with “some organic stuff” or all the organic stuff you are using now that is giving you all your problems?

Seems like its gettin better. Took em out of the pots and got rid of some brown gooey around the roots, dipped em in hydroperoxide solution replanted em in bigger pots and added all the good stuff I usually use. They have improved so much just over a few days. Fine green leaves pointing slightly upwards, fine side growth and all over lookin allmost as fine as they should have done. It was right that they lacked food, but that was probably a result of the brown gooey stuff...

Thanks a lot for all the inputs. Highly appreciated:)

Just saying Im using some organic stuff. My growing style most def is "hydro light". I did a growth with two clones and compared. Does not empirically prove anything, but i FEEL that its a bit better when I include those products:)

Hey! A bit overconfident bout' something you dont have the details about here. mr...

100W HLG QB 40 cm above the canopy. I actually calculated that the light is sufficent so Im right here and you are simply wrong. Its as simple as that, but thnx for the input, sunshine;)
You've posted one pic of a plant that looks like absolute shit. I'd be embarrassed. But whatever. Here's your participation trophy, cupcake.

You're a troll. Aren't you? Whether you know it or not.
