This is more bro science. How many burnt up leaves do you see in outdoor plants? Pretty sure it rains on the leaves.

I don't really see a lot of burnt up leaves but I also don't water my leaves. Regardless my point was it's not necessary.

Calcium Deficiency.. Your upper foliage doesn't appear to be doing the same thing, new growth not showing an issue means don't go crazy changing anything, that early growth is sensitive and looks to have had an issue a bit back. You may need to increase fertilizer.

No Neem meal at the store near me, had cold pressed 100% neem oil tho.. just unsure of how much to add.. lol the bottle doesnt give much clue other than what to add to a gallon of water... and outside beds and such.....I just got a new bag of ffof(1.5 cub ft), now granted since I havent overwatered I havent had one bug out of the SAME ffof I had problems with on the first grow, which is now gone......Just leave the new bag you think? I mean literally at day 90ish... not one bug on the stickies...but the same bag gave me all sorts of problems last year....Also does leaving soil outside kill these kritters.....but at the expense of the good life activity in the soil? Nm one google provided the freezing answer: @Knitter : The fungus gnat Exechia nugatoria is easily revived when frozen to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and some members of the species may even come back when frozen Temperatures approaching minus 60 degrees, and can survive for weeks frozen like that

Please take my advice and avoid Fox Farms Products. The quality since 2018 has been horrible. I've seen too many threads where people are seemingly doing everything right and FFOF trashes their grow. To my knowledge Fox Farms makes their soil out of Residential Compost, the shit people throw in the compost bins and the garbage men pickup. I've found fish hooks, chunks of rusty metal and one bag I opened had a putrid smell and larvae crawling all over in it. It's literally trash, pun intended.

There are some old school growers on here that won't give it up and have great success with FoxFarms soils but personally I would avoid them especially if you're new to growing and want consistency and less head scratching.

There is a reason no big name growers use Fox Farms.

Honestly I never will go back to growing in soil indoors, Coco/Perlite for the win.

been having excellent success since my second grow....and I sift all my soil and have never found anything more than some bother some sticks... *shrug* maybe it has more to do with your location....But its been great for me, budzbuddah showed the way....its actually shockingly easy...soon as I put down the bottled nutes, starting using Neptunes kelp/fish mix and kelp....Jobes 3-3-3 w\mycos and more organic things ...got used to using calmag with the LED setup...I mean my second grow netted between 2-3 oz a plant....this current one if my eyes dont deceive me...will be 1/4lb + dry a plant....with a China light se 3000 Spidddddddder farmer ....and apparently the "worst seeds" in the business ilgm, and the potency is legit. I've only bought gg#4 and BB from them (autos)....But easy 20%+ thc..... So...tldr? Worst seeds,China Light, Soil with garbage and fish hooks in it...A simple PH water in and take no slurry method, Top dressing/water in seaweeds and fish.......and my third grow i'm getting ~1/4+lb dried per plant with a 300watt light...which raised my bill 15$/.m ......of what I and several of my buddies who've been growing outdoors since the 70s....consider pretty high quality smoke...And the people I see shell out for the 1000$ lights, hydro setups, crazy costly seeds or cuts from breeders...Their plants are most of the time... Not even looking as good/healthy/thick as my 'trash' 9 out of 10 times, That I look at those threads,,,But thanks for the heads up

Looks like you're overwatering these seedlings as well. Definitely do not need to be spraying them with foliar spray whatsoever. Let the soil dry before watering - this usually takes 2 to 3 days depending on other factors like pot size and humidity.
