Good evening, this is my first grow and this forum has been my main source of information all along.
Some of the leaves on my babies (especially the biggest ones) have been dying and it keeps getting worse,
can anyone tell me what is wrong and what should I do?
It doesn't start on the edges but in the middle between the "lines" ... you can see how it starts on the pictures where some leaves aren't too bad yet.
The plants are white rhino from nirvana seeds, almost 5weeks old (I plan to flower them on the 11th).
They are mainly growing with two 125w 6500k fluorescent lights (that I will switch to 2700k for flowering), although I recently added four 42w 2700k and 3 small (27w?) 5500k but those are only turned on when I leave the closet door opened (about 1/2 of the time).
I have been using ForFarm fertilizers as indicated on the chart, grow big and big bloom, but using 11days weeks so that they can veg for 45days.(I am supposed to start Open Sesame soon, idk if I should)
The potential causes I have in mind are:
-Too low PH (I only have a cheap soil tester that always gives me the same result but it used to be slightly below 6 so I have been using 1/4tbsp of PHup per gallon) ... I am waiting on an ebay ph tester for their water so that I can give them exactly what they need
-Nutrient burn. I have been watering them with plain water for the past 3watering (not even PHup)
-Too much light, I noticed the timer was set to 24hrs a day instead of 21/3 (I don't know how long it has been that way but I recently added a bunch of lights and the dying started afterward). I switched it to 18/6 two days ago.
-Burns from the water+nutrient sitting on the leaves and the lights hitting that all day long. I am more careful about not pouring water all over the leaves, I now water them not too long before the lights turn off, and I haven't been using any nutrients lately
-Some kind of nutrient deficiency?
I hope you can help me save Fat Monster!
Thank you
edit: I don't know if this is related, some of the lower younger leaves were very pale/light green but I don't see that anymore today.
