Wondering what could be happening to my new plant?

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to get everyones opinion on what could be happening to my plant. Below are the details on the plant and watering schedule!

• Medium - 40%FFoF/40%FFHF
• Lights - 2 X Mars-Hydro 300W about 20-21 inches above plant
• Strain - DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder
• Age - 21 days above soil
• Pot Size - 3 gallon smart pot
• Nutrient line and schedule - N/A
• Watering volume - Every 2 days I have been watering with PH 7.0 water until run off, about .5-.7 gallons

Thank you!

I'm not an expert on diagnosing nutrient problems, but it looks like nute burn to me. Your % don't add up on your soil mix haha, there's only 80% there? Is there any other additives in there? Have they been fed any nutrients? FFOF can be a little hot for some young plants but personally I've never had a problem.

whoops! 20% perlite for drainage

Looks like nutrient burn or pH issues. Also, I know a lot of new growers will argue that pH 7.0 water is just fine for FFOF because it is supposed to buffer the water, but I would advise against that. Get your water down to 6.5 and you will have far fewer issues down the line. I personally pH all my water to between 6.0 -6.5 and all the issues I had early one just went away.
