okay so this is a stunted plant. Started out outside in MG hydrate. found out it wasn't even soil, just an amendment so that's why it's stunted and may still be the issue present. I transferred it into ffof on this past Friday and it acted like it was in paradise. On Saturday I moved it inside as the temps were too hot, averaging 95+. Inside it stays a good 78 and when my lights are off it may drop a couple degrees. It's inside an open cage with a box fan blowing into it for circulation and humidity stays 40 to 50%. So with that in mind I'm noticing my older fan leaves(3leaves) are getting hard grayish colored spots that start anywhere from the sides of the leaf to the tip. Also noticing some brown necrosis looking spots as well in on a leaf or two. I was inspecting one leaf this morning and when I bent it up to look at it the tip cracked and I was like what the fuck man so I researched a little and found it may be too low humidity with a little nutrient deficiency or a number of other things so I watered it with a quarter of nutes and set it outside to runoff and gather a little sunlight before lights off. So while it sleep I'm here asking if anyone may know why my challenged plant is so stressed out? Btw it's 5 weeks old

Looks like N def and possibly calcium def humidity shouldn't be that low till flowering..70% should be just right

Feeding nutes to your leaves especially the under sides of them...do a lil research you will be amazed by the results...usually it's 1/4 - 1/5 of your nutes strained....some nutes aren't for foliar feeding so beware and do a lil research first...Epsom salt sprays are awesome and fast acting for foliar sprays as well

Well the only nutes I have are fox farm instant big bloom. Says apply 1 tablespoon per gallon of water for supplemental foliage feeding. So should I spray them good or give a little mist?

Applied nutes 0.8 mL for one cup of water I put in a spray bottle. Gave it a good soaking all over including the undersides and main stem. Humidity is rising in the closet, it's up to about 55. Hoping this works!

Light misting often is the best...try to
Avoid large droplets from forming as these will cause light prisms and under intense light can leave burn spots

Well right now the lights are off. Is that a big deal?

Yes!! You want to try to keel humidity down while lights are off and plants dry....never spray at night! Also turn those lights on all day right now!!! 18-24...that small keep it on unless your trying to grow a tall plant.

Well it's stunted so I took t off of 24hr to get some height on it but I'll turn them on for now so they soak that water up. Glad I asked haha

You can make it grow taller with dropping the temp at night...or adding light with something in red spectrum, hope all that helps good luck!
