Please help diagnose my plant

I brought my plant indoors for 36 hours to start the flowering phase. I've been doing 12/12 light for two days now. The newer leaves are getting a little better but some are still browning. This is my first plant ever. It's outdoors I keep it shaded sometimes due to high heat outside. I use regular water to water it. And am using miracle grow moisture control. Could it be from foreign debris on the leaves from being in my closet for 36 hours? Or heat stress? Anyone please? Also should I remove the dying leaves or let nature work it's magic ?

whats the temp and humidity ?

if you live in a dry hot climate there are strains that do well in those conditions..(for example satori form mandala seeds)

looking at the pics your magnesium def and
also either a ph issue or possibly some issues with micro nutes which my first guess would be iron def

1)check your ph if you can

2)top dress 1/2 tsp Epsom salt before your next watering and a 1/4 tsp per gallon Epsom salt every other watering thereafter
for fastest result you could also foliar feed with 1/4 tsp Epsom salt

3)repot into a 5 to 10 gallon container

4) get some calmag fertilizer which contains iron,calcium, magnesium and nitrogen and water with 4mls per gallon every other

5) optional; top dress with 2 cups earthworm casting or compost

6) get something other/better than miracle grow for fertilizer

I am in south Florida. I will do all of those necessary steps. Is there a way to keep it in a smaller pot as I am trying to contain the growth? Not a 5-10gal I don't need a four footer haha. And should I flush it before doing all of this? Gain first plant ever man

Thanks in advance for any advice bro. Also it's about 85+ degrees a day outside. But I sit in shade a lot. Also bring inside at night

im from that area so I understand the weather perfectly

the issue with under sizing the pot is its going to give you trouble
if you want a smaller plant start it late in the season so the veg time/long days are fewer before it goes into bloom
or
grow autos

I don't think the heat has anything to do with your issues

I wouldn't remove those leaves yet

see if they get worse before you remove them

plus those leaves are the ones speaking to you trying to tell you something if you remove them how will they continue to speak to you at least until you've got it figured out

Okay I'll move it to the five gal. Also I am trying to force flower, I did 36 hours of pure darkness and now on day 2 of 12/12 it out at 730 am and inside again at 730 pm.

understood. I am force flowering aswell, hence the 36 hours of dark I did. And now it's on a 12/12 schedule with natural sun and 12 hours complete darkness. Doing all of this won't mess that up correct? I am sorry to bother am trying to gather all info. And should I flush the soil it's in now before I add nutes and transplant? Idk what strand this is I found a seed in some bud I had and grew this lol. I do know it smells pretty dank already

if you want to keep it short

top it or tie it

if you takes a string and loop it loosely at the bottom and then wrap it around the main stalk gently and slowly as not to do any damage

you can bend the top of the plant

just look at the pictures on the first page of my journal for an example

ah I understand now

if forcing flowring then don't do the bending

no I wouldn't flush ... its hungry not over fed

if your going into flower now
id say the 5 gallon pot will be good

be gentle, normally you wouldn't want to transplant at this stage so its a judgement call

personally Id go ahead and transplant it since your only a couple days in

So should I still transplant ? While force flowering or just add the nutes ?

so I should just transplant into the five gal. Add the nutes . And call it a day? Or could I leave it in my current pot and add nutes, what would you personally do. I know you probably wouldn't grow this way to begin with , but if you were in this situation

the plant looks like a good one

do you have a hydro store near you?
do you have a few bucks to spend on a good fertilizer?

if its available to you

since your no longer in veg youd only need the general hydroponics floranova bloom is an excellent fertilizers super easy to use and work well and nothing else needed..just the one bottle

you just simple mix 7mls bloom per gallon and that's it

and youll get great results

if you want to keep it small and not looking for max yields

you could leave it provided you get a good well balanced fertilizer like the one I mentioned

honestly

if you get the gh flora nova

you could not bother re potting and not bother with the compost or earthworm castings..and not bother with the calmag

just do the Epsom salt 1/2 tsp top dress 1x

and then continue with the flora nova at 7mls
it already has everything in it

Okay I do not have a local hydro store eat me but I can find nutes at my loca Home Depot or flower store
