anyone can help with what is wrong with this female? I'm debating on starting 2 new seeds instead of taking clones from this one. any help appreciated.

A little more about your situation will go a long way. Was this a seed or clone? Do you have any readings to share with us? What are you growing under, and in? Might I trouble you for a picture that shows more of he plant as well.

well it's definitely a deficiency. I can't be bothered to check which one, it's either potassium, phosphorous or iron but that is not really that important. What is important is why it is happening and the most likely reason is a wrong ph in the soil/watering solution.

Amazon sell decent ph testing meters for under a tenner.

You are right that it will be harder to get a deficient cutting to root successfully but I wouldn't throw out a plant because it was grown in bad conditions. Could be the best strain in the world, could be crap but you have given too little info as to why you are asking for help but also saying you will be chopping her up into tiny pieces soon.

don't think it's bugs. other plants are fine. will keep this one and start new seeds. Not worth figuring out deficiency to clone. thanks for help

I wasnt thinking bugs either. Is it really humid in your grow area, or has water sat on them? What is your ph in and out.

were are you located.. state wise.? broadmites could be one of the problems .. your plant is struggling , the red leaf stems is suggesting a p.h. issue or a nutrient issue.. hard to say..with lack of info.. ffof is normally good to go and don't need extra nutrients and is normally dialed in on the ph already.. but if the bag had been damaged at some point through shipping and stocking at the store there's a real good chance it has bugs in it.. so keep in mind to stay away from bags with holes or tears in them.. is there any little flys coming out of your soil?

To me it looks like an Iron or manganese deficiency caused by a pH lockout. If the soil pH is above a 6.5-7 you can lock out these two specifically. You wouldn't happen to be watering with tap water/ spring water would you? Both can cause a raise in pH.

As everyone else has stated by now, more info about your grow goes a long way.

it looks like magnesium deficiency to me. I would add epsom salt and check ph

My 2¢ ...

Take clones ONLY from healthy plants
Try Capt. Jacks Bug Brew and use SPINOSAD on her.
Check your ph of watering and feed .... 6.5
Temps if low .. Will purp up stems ... However purp is creeping interveinal .
Possible slow phosphorus uptake .. Scratch in bone meal to top soil.

Spray Epsom foliar to leaves for quick absorption.

There seems ( to me ) a handful of issues - not just one.

Good luck

FFOF is ph buffered OUT OF THE BAG at 6.3 ( which is good ) and it is from the oyster shell amendment in soil.

So even a tap water of 7.0 will work with this mix ... I use it. All I added was more perlite .
FFOF is a " hotter " mix than most due to its full set of ingredients and sometimes work better " cut with " a mild mix like happy frog.

This soil WILL CARRY a plant up to 5 weeks on its own ... Without extra Nutes.
It's strong enough to make TEAS with for other mediums.
