New to indoor growing, what is making my plant upset?

1 month into veg, I have been growing an Afghan strain pretty good so far. This morning I saw a fan leaf starting to get ugly so I asked a couple friends and they said maybe the pot was too small or I could be having a PH problem. I’m growing in fox farm soil, using the fox farm trio and PH about 6.0. What could be causing this?

The brownish tips lead me to think it's nutrient burn. You're killing them with overfeeding.

I figured I was hurting them with some sort of nutrient burn but I couldn’t identify which deficiency. I think the mistake I made was going to get water (ratty water&ice) from a store and the last time I did a PH test it was solid on 6.0. Then, monday I went for a refill and since it was watering day I went to straight water them without testing the water. I fucked up, the water was PH at around 8 so I lowered it to 6.0. I’m doing another feeding this Sunday if they are looking back to par.

In soil, you do not need to pH your water. Soil is a buffer.

I grew in Fox Farm Happy Frog. Plants loved it for 2 months; then the soil ran out of nutrient. Don't supplement until you see definite signs of nute deficiency.

I agree with TacoMac: overfed. Those burnt tips and edges are consistent with this diagnosis.

I agree. I've been using the same FFOF for 10 month and never check or adjust the ph. I do use organic nutes though to not kill my microbes.

Inorganic nutes won't harm the microbes. I like General Hydroponics 3-part (with CaliMagic and silica in drain-to-waste hydro), and it won't upset the microherd.
