Trying to get her back on track.

Bag seed ... photo... ffhf soil... planted 4/7/23 ... I didn't feed up until say mid may and I was giving g half the recommended dose 2x per week. Well I only water 2x per week so I was feeding every time i watered. I was using the tiger bloom as well because the rest of my plants were autos and it was time. I was lazy. Anyways I realized that's too much they need straight water in-between feedings so I watered really good with about 1gal of runoff and gave them just water for about 2 weeks. 7 days ago I fed with only water and grow big, half the dose. 4 days ago I watered with 1tsp of calmag in 1 gal of water only. Nitrogen and magnesium is my guess. Before I kill her on accident, any opinions?

My first guess is nute burn.
Damaged leaves aren't going to get better, so watch the new growth.
Looks like it could do with more light

Good luck

I thought nute burn too, but the new growth doesn't look like it. They look like they need some extra dry time. I would clear out the bottom growth, but I try to LST. Might not be your cup of tea.

Doesn't tiger bloom need something else? I remember fox farm has a trio. Its been a while since I've used that stuff. I'd go with a higher percent of nitrogen this early in the game.

What gallon bags are you using? I doubt it, but the plant could be root bound. Trimming the bottom branches and the leaves that are growing towards the center could help, but not for long. You might wanna look into up potting. Just trying to help.

I think you're right on the nute burn but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me as I really haven't added much considering the time it's been in there. It's a 3gal bag and it's about 3/4 full (last one and i ran out of soil).

They are dry when I water. They are lightweight and feel bone dry. I typically need to put in a little water to get it wet and let it soak in as it just beads up on the top for a few. If you really think this could be it would there be anything else I could look at to determine? I am using untouched FFHF soil. I think it may need a little more pearlite then?? Typically I'll water say on Monday and then again on Thursday then Sunday then Wednesday (2 whole days in between)

Tiger bloom does come in the trio and I was using all 3. What I was saying is you aren't supposed to use tiger bloom until flower and i was using the same water to feed this one as I was using to water my autos that were in flower - which had Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom in it. I thought it would be okay, maybe i was right maybe i was wrong but idk if there is something in tiger bloom that would harm the plant in veg. I used 1/3 dose.

I'll learn LST later. I think i tried by tying down some branches at the begining i just done have much more room as i had 2 other plants in the closet i was growing. I didn't know what I was doing when I started and i popped 20 seeds thinking I was going to grown them all and uhhhh lol. 2 at the most. I could probably fill the whole closet with 1 plant if i knew what i was doing. It's only 3*4*6.5ft.

Well I think i learned here that my light can go to 100% (maybe idk) but more than 60% and what nute burn looks like. maybe lol.

I appreciate all of your help.
