What’s wrong with my plant?? I’ve been using regular ph 7 ish spring water. With indicaja soil. Is this over nutrients?

I’m not expert but that’s nutrient burn, don’t take my word for it, I would flush the plant using standard ph’d water then water again with normal nutes

I have the complete opposite to you I have underfed leading to this light green yellow colour. Nitrogen toxicity makes the leaves extremely dark green and yours looks exactly that

I’m using a super soil and I was told that water was enough nute wise. So what would I do to fix nitrogen? And I’d like to add that my plants showed this same color of leaf through its entire life

No one can see anything in purple lighting

Maybe the soil was a little high in nutrients initially and it will correct using plain water
No knowledge of your mix

What soil are you using? Most super soils wont cause nutrient burn at your stage, unless you amended it with something or are watering with nutes.

Would help if you could provide an image of the plant without the grow lights on.

If you are worried about the nitrogen in the soil you could run plain water with lots of runoff 50%+ to washout any excess nutrients.

Phosphorus deficiency looks like but can't really tell the color of the leaves with that purple light.

What do you know about the soil? How old is your plant and what other nutes have you been giving it to make you think it could be nute burn?

This deficiency can be caused by high or low pH issues or overwatering...so you may want to start pHing your water and test runoff to see where you are...low pH and pH over 7 can cause this.

I’ll take some pics without the light when I can. I’m using indicaja super soil by purple cow. I’m kinda assuming it’s burn because of the sudden burning when I water with something that’s not regular purified water.

I was told that spring water had levels of natural nutes in them that would only help my already added nutes into the soil. But 3 days after I water her with spring water the tips of the leafs and around the tips. Almost like light burn.

Spring water can have pH as high as 8-9 depending on where it was bottled. It can really fuck your plants up, as you can see. Your pH needs to be in the range of 6.3-6.8 with some minor fluctuation. Get a pH tester, some pH down and use either tap water or distilled water.

Is there anything I can do about the spring water that’s already fucking up my plant?

Definitely if it's from a lime spring.

Dude don't be so hard on yourself, I thought exactly the same when I started.
Discovered the only decent usable bottle water is fizzy carbonated for older seeds.

I agree with dankbongula above, you need a PH assessment on your soil-water.

Otherwise without a PH assessment you could be shooting in the dark.

Pot is resilient as hell in veg so should be savable.
