Hello after checking in on my plants one of them seems to have some sort of deficiency I think it is due to sulfur so I will be getting some epsom salt tomorrow but I just wanted to check and make sure it is a sulfur deficiency.

Why post if you have no idea and I don't use nutes till the cotyledons die off.
And thank you jawbrodt +rep

Its is a quality soil deficiency. Get some aeration product in some good organics that doesn't include sticks and bark and the plant will do better.

Deficiency wise I'd say it could be many things. A Mag/Potassium problem is likely.

because you didnt post enough info for anyone to even come close to a definitive answer. i see salt build up on the sides of your planter. your soil looks used up. feed shedules, temps, ph both in and out. if you dont supply info youll get half assed answers that will surely kill your plant. someone said fox farms but that does not look like farms. start with your ph and go from there.

^I agree, the soil looks compact, and lacking drainage. I really doubt the soil has been depleted, it looks like an aeration/overwatering problem. Those, will both lead to low PH, which could also be a problem. Magnesium will be one of the first deficiencies to show, due to low PH, which futher evidences this theory. Sadly, the best way to increase aeration, is to transplant to a soil rich in perlite(or similar), which is a bit of a pain in the ass, at this point. Would be well worth the effort though, IMO. Also, you can flush with something PH'ed to around 6.6, to bring your PH up to spec,(flush until the runoff comes out the same as you're pouring in) before the transplant(or afterwards, but before, is easier), and it should hold there, as long as you've knocked off a bunch of the old soil.

The top layer of soil probably the top 2 inches is compost and some topsoil I ran out of FF so I had to add what I had. I guess if things get worse I will transplant into FFOF. How would I go about translating at this point I fell I would damage roots.
