Sick cannabis plant, looking for some help

1210152019b.jpg 1210152019a.jpg1210152018b.jpg 1210152017b.jpg 1210152020.jpg 1210152019b.jpg 1210152019a.jpg 1210152019b.jpg Hi guys, this is my first grow and as anyone can imagine, super exciting! Anyways, I have had no problems with my plant until the last week or two. As you can see in the pictures I've attached, the oldest, lowest leaves have a discoloration. I've done endless research but sometimes getting the opinion of some fellow growers is all you need! So here's my current setup...

This plant is just over 1 month old btw and the strain is nirvanas ak-48

I'm using ffof as my soil mixed with about 25% perlite.
I'm also using the forest Fox trio of nutes, grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom.
Regarding the nutrients, I gave this plant it's first feeding of grow big 2 weeks ago at 1/3 strength. I believe I gave it too soon since the plant was showing the "claw" on some leaves and also the New growth appeared with yellowed windy tips,and slowed growth.
I'm using 3 high wattage cfls and a smaller 23 watt for side lighting.
The temp stays between 72-75
Humidity fluctuates between 55-65%.
The last two weeks, I have watered ph'ed water through RO and once with Ph'ed tap.
I started LST by tying the plant down a few days over a week ago.
The plant also seems to have some signs of possible calcium deficiency and ph fluctuation.

My biggest worry is the New growth having yellow features along the leaves and the oldest, lowest lying leaves that are turning a goldish yellow and becoming crispy. I want to get a control on the problem before I switch to flowering here in a week or so. Someone with some knowledge of what to do, please help and it'll be much appreciated!!!!

How much soil are they in? Anyway the FFOF does not require any additional feeding for at least 3 weeks, I use FFHF and do not add nutes until 3 weeks after transplant. The issue is nute burn my friend. If you have done or are not doing a transplant I would just stop feeding for a couple of waterings, maybe even 3-4. Then start at 1/4 strength again.

Good Luck and Great Growing.

Thanks a lot man for the advice! She is in a 3 gallon pot, keeping it small just for personal. I've been watering every 5 days as that seems to be when the first inch gets dry. Do you think the plant looks droopy at all? And could that be a side effect from the nutrient burn? Thanks again!

Yeah ... Its always better to stay on the light side of feeding until you see how she responds. I use FF plus their bloom supplements ( and had good results with 1/2 strength ) and only supplement with Open Sesame , Beastie Bloom and cha ching.

Believe it or not FFOF CAN carry a plant to week 6/7 before exhausting or start depletion. It is a hot soil and i supplement this soil with a 50/50 mix with Light Warrior.

Skip a feeding to allow the plant to recover , lift your pot to judge watering. Wait til it feels noticeably lighter. I believe you are overwatering due to not allowing the container to dry up - instead you keep too wet by letting ONLY a little of the top soil to dry. Excessive watering can stunt , choke off the roots , nute absorption and all kinds of shit.

Also you r gonna need to ramp up your lighting.

And by the way its normal for those small leafs down there to yellow and die (at least that what happened with me in an earlier stage) and this I shouldnt worry about

I just remove them with some of alittle pruning down stairs

However, the tips discoloring is another thing!

Success hope we can figure it out or somebody will correct\guide us here on the forum, all the best.

Keep it safe.

I'm Not for sure but it could be quite a few different things #1 cal deficiency, #2 chemical burn, #3 overdose of nutrient or nutes burn #4 lights too close and too hot, too me they don't look sick, just a slight burn of some sort, what lights are you using? How strong are your nutes, and how fast did you up your nutes? How many times are you feeding it nutes? Every watering every other watering? Try maybe 1 good feeding once a Month you might want to try that , how much calmg are you giving her? Some plants are very touchy when it comes to nutes and lights. Just check those things, think about your schedule and maybe tweak your nutes and lights Just a little, especially with your sativa's,, Indicas are a little more forgiving when it comes to those sort of things.. Well I hope this helped you at least a little and good luck man, I'm going to follow you just in case you need more help on a subject I can seriously effectively help you with...

It looks like cannabis ebola.
You should buy some petrol and burn the room and everything in it then head directly to the hospital.

Just kidding.
What they said. ^^^^^
The first pic is just the little starter leaves that die off because they are shaded,
The second pic looks like a lower leaf that maybe touched wet soil.
Overall it looked like a nice plant to me.
Good job.
 
Thank for all of the feedback! It seems the majority of you think it's a minor issue that is pretty easily corrected. I'll take the advice you guys have given and post some more pictures through the next week. Since this is my first grow and all, I feel like I'm super paranoid about it dying and some disease consuming it! Lol
