Leaves starting to yellow with small rusty spots during veg

The plant has some sort of root damage for some reason and it's cannibalizing its fans to get the energy to continue. Something damsged the roots. You can clone it if you think it's going to keel over and die. No point in wasting an $8 seed. If it were in a rock system like I do my moms I'd just increase the waterings. I do all my veg (moms, clones) with the spent water from my budders. This works out great and no danger of me screwing my moms.

Second set of pics. Older growth yellowing from leaf tip back to petiole. Veins yellowing also. What is affected will not get better. Monitor new growth and see if it stops spreading. Also feed with Fish Emulsion or the like. What your feeding the now is way to high in P. They need N IMO.
Thanks AS. The new growth seems to yellow pretty quick. The pics in the first post and the pics in the 12th post are only taken one week apart. Fed twice during that week as explained in previous post(s).

I agree that the fert I am using is a little low in N. I bought both the super tea and the Budswell from The Guano Company. Was told to use the tea during veg and the Budswell during flower. They use different Guano's in each version. The CalMg's NPK is 1-0-0 so that adds a little N as does the extra worm castings. I do have some blood meal that I could top dress but I'm not sure if it would break down in time to make a difference. I am planning on transplanting within the week.

I can't remember having this problem with any other strain. I have never really had any N deficiency's using FFOF either. I dont know what the fuck is going on, but I do want to figure this out. Thanks for your help so far

This is the first I have heard of possibly having a root damage issue. What makes you think that? Wouldn't my other strains also be showing the same sign's? Don't get me wrong, I am not doubting you. I honestly don't know what is going on so I will take that into consideration also. Just curious as to why you think that. I am always willing to learn.

30 years ago I found out that you always apply fertilizer around the perimetre of the plants root base... If you smell old rubber boots don't use the mix on mj because it's to rich.
