Plants look nice and healthy, but I have some concern you may have a thrips problem. If you check where i circled in red on your first photo, there is what looks to me like thrip damage. Hope I'm wrong, but something you may want to investigate further before you decide to flip.

They are little bugs that attack your plants, and cause damage to leaves. Thats as technical as i can get at the moment. :blsmoke: IF in fact it is thrip damage, it looks fairly isolated, and most of your leaves look fine. Yes, you can definitely save the plant, but something you need to address. I had no idea myself i had an infestation until someone on this site pointed it out to me on a picture i uploaded. The way i confirmed i had them was to take a magnifier to my sticky traps and then i could see a few dead ones on the sticky traps. I couldn't see them with my naked eye. Do you have any sticky traps in your tent?

Well, i would get both blue and yellow ones, and i'd just place them under the plant on the pot. I don't know any other way to find them. Someone else should chime in here that has more knowledge and where to look on the plant to find them. I'm not sure where they lay their eggs, or where they like to hang out. Like i said, after someone pointed out the damage i had from them on the leaves, the only time i ever saw any was on my sticky traps with magnification.

Add aeration. Perlite is what is most used. Some people use rice hulls as well, which break down faster than perlite, but add a bit of silica as they do. But, you need to mix this into your soil before you plant in it.

Your pots look as though you have perlite mixed in. Did you mix it in? If so, how much did you add? I've seen anywhere from 20-40% added before.

The last two photos of post#9 in this thread looks like you could have some deficiency.
