Hey guys. Sorry to post this. Ive searched for forever to try to find out on my own but could not find anything that looks quite alike. This burn/deficiency, whichever it may be makes my leaves crispy as you can see. It starts from the bottom up as well. I have only fed it some phosphorus and nitrogen bat guano and not much per feeding. Maybe a tablespoon of each per gallon of water every week and a half to 2 weeks. Thanks for the help!

Maybe try a more COMPLETE feed / nute.

What are the specifics of your grow. ?

Lights
Medium
Water
Nutes ?????
Light cycle ( on / off )

Was this from seed or a clone , etc. ?

Your going to have to change up your feeding, it's not enough. Your also going to add some micro nutrients. What your seeing is micronutrient deficiency, and what looks to me early stages of nitrogen deficiency as well(light coloring of the lower growth shows your plant is pulling nutrients from the leaves to make up for what it is not receiving). Could be the lighting of the picture, but Im pretty sure thats whats going on here. Personally I always add microblast and a little calmag to all feedings to prevent micro issues. Earth Juice should be paying me by now with all the microblast I push for them.

Edit: took a closer look at the pics. Definitely a micro issue. No nitrogen deficiency, although you could probably feed more frequent.

Im still in pretty early stages of veg. My light up right now is a 600 watt metal halide thats about 2 feet away. Havent given them any nutes other than the guanos like i said. Ill try to feed more. Also its just in peet moss and soil. Light cycle is 18/6. The seed came from herbies seeds and was feminized. Thanks for the reply harry. Ill get some calmag and microblast and give it a shot. Any other nutes you guys recommend for veg and flower that are a full feeding in one would be awesome! Thanks.

I use Gobox and I follow the chart. I start at 1/2 strength for Autos. It takes the thinking/guesswork out of it and the results are great.

Adding things like phosphorus, nitrogen bat guano earth juice microblast in a random fashion is only going to confuse the plants. If all the fundamentals are right she should be fine with nothing more than tap water, good lighting, air, soil and drainage.

Okay. So how should i go about introducing the new nutes then? Im fine with just flushing for a few days if need be or whatever, but im not aware of how it will effect the plant since um already having definciencies. Dont wanna pulp anymore from it.

How is the plastic bucket draining? are there holes? how often are you watering? how are you judging when its time to water? what *brand" of soil or peat moss are you using? I would forget nutes for now and figure out which of the fundamentals you are doing wrong. Adding nutes won't fix this.

Temps dont hardly get over 80 and rh is about 60 most of the time. Ive got my bulb in a cooling tube filtering out into another room with 2 fans on full blast all the time. One on the light and one on the plants.

obviously, all the fundamentals aren't right.

don't have a fan blowing directly on your plants, it makes them transpire (sweat) too much. they can't concentrate on growing if they're putting most of their effort into sweating. it would be much better to have it blowing between your light and the tops of your plants.
when you start feeding, start light, maybe 1/4 strength, and work up from there. most companies charts aren't designed to grow healthy plants, they're designed to get you to use as much of their product as possible so you have to buy more.

Okay cool, ill start slow with them and just flush till monday when my nutes come i suppose. And the fan that i have on my light is in between my tops and the light. Ill just leave that one on for now and kill the other

go to the hardware store and buy the smallest container of tomato food you can get, and use that till you get your nutes. a week of plain water isn't going to help. at this stage, i'd go with anything close to 3-1-2 ratio

Will do. I didnt figure flushing would really "help", but i more saw it as starting with a clean slate for when i get my shit. Ill most definitely go get me a little something to hold her over. Really everybody, much appreciated with all the great advice and help. You guys are awesome!

Went to a few stores and the closest i could find was some hi-yield brand tomato and vegetable food with a ratio of 4-10-6. Couldnt find anything even remotely close to the 3-1-2

it'll do for a week, don't keep using it, that's way too much P to use long term. that's like pk boost for flowering
if you grow some peppers, that shit will be great for them
