What are they growing in? If its dirt, what kind of dirt? What have you been feeding them?

There in natures care organic dirt with water conserve here’s what I mixed 2 parts soil 2 parts perlite and 2 parts peat moss probably didn’t need the peat moss but I’ve only fed it once or twice with fish fertilizer and once with blood meal and that was only a little bit when I mixed the soil. And I had been using distilled water

Was told it could be a mg deficiency and that I should ph and use my tap water but let it sit out for a day or so before watering

Switch to de-chlorinated tap water. Im betting you are overwatering them, 5 gallons of medium is a LOT for a plant that small. This is causing root issues which is causing nutrient issues. If i had a plant that size, it would be in a 1 gallon pot and i would be thinking about transplanting it into a bigger pot in a few days-a week depending how much i trained it. How much and how often are you watering?

I wait till it feels dry atleast 2 inches down which is every 3 or 4 days

Yeah im sure there is still a ton of water under that 2 inch mark. The buckets should weigh the same as the day that you filled them with fresh dirt before you water.

I switched out the soil from natures care water conserve too this has anyone used it before and what did you think. I also picked up a bottle of root farm fruit and flower supplement the npk is 1-4-7 should I use this with every watering or in between watering. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated thank u and happy smoking
