For pro growers is this how my plants should look week 5? I have some crispy leaves that are dying. I only give a small amount of fox farm nutes every week or so. Watered until water comes out the bottom and given a good soak then water the day after the following one to the watering. Thank you! I don’t want to lose too many leaves and have just buds like I did on my last grow , the strain is supposedly Acapulco gold from growerchoiceseeds

Looks like you maybe watering out all the food. Don’t know what medium your growing in. But little hard to decifer your watering schedule as well

Fox farm ocean Forrest , I also have pans under the 3 gall fabric pots so it reabsorbs the run off !
thank you
 
Only time my plants looked like yours was bc my ph was very low. I feed every watering and never have runoff. Maybe starving but not sure, dont use soil, use peat mix, no additives other than lime to raise ph of peat. As plant goes further into flower l raise ppm to what l feel it can handle, burnt tips means back off a little. Quarter strength might not be strong enough to support healthy growth, hope your grow does well.

Yeah it has to be that I’ve tried everything and temps are prob in 78-80 at the very top of the tent it’s well ventilated. I use tap water and let it sit for a day or two to let the chlorine evaporate. That’s insane how just water can ruin a good plant
 
Those look fried. Or locked out. I’d lose the stagnant pond dishes you have for runoff

let soil completely dry Then water. Let completely dry. Then hit your feed1/4 strength.
You need to take a few steps back. And def don’t keep adding shit. Let the plant correct it’s roots first. Then focus on what she needs

you keep adding shit. You won’t know what works if she makes it
 
No your plants should not look like that at five weeks flower. They are obviously locked out and your yield will be greatly effected.

I think after thumbing thru the thread your problem is letting your run off reabsorb back into the plant.

I use pot risers to keep the plant off the bottom of the saucers so as to not let the run off reabsorb. Every feeding I water to about 15% run off and then promptly vacuum the waste water out of the saucers and dispose of it. I don't feed again until the pots are completely dry.

Using synthetic nutrients the plants create waste in the form of salts. Those salts need to be flushed from the soil regularly to get optimum growth. If not they will whack the PH off and the plants will get locked out.

After seeing the other person say that I got rid of the drip pans ! Thank you I’m just pissed cause a gave a small dose of nutes yesterday and more leaves are dying and crispy today , i don’t understand cause I haven’t used nutes in about two weeks
 
Stop giving it water! Let dry completely.
Also you don’t want any run off. If your getting run off your overwatering or under watering. Usually over. I might see a drip or 2 come out the bottom when I water.
Like I said bro. Take a few steps back

LET THE SOIL DRY.
 
Here is my plant after 5 weeks flower. I do have some slight yellowing toward the top of my canopy. I thought it was magnesium deficiency but been giving plenty of magnesium, so now I think the slight yellowing is from too much light. I raised the light a little today so we will see if that slows the progression of yellowing leaves but it will also start to yellow as it diverts nutrients from leaves to flower.
