I have three plants i started from seeds (power wreck × premo jack) that are almost 70 days old, started them inside under uv lights and put them outside almost 2 weeks ago, ive been careful not to overwater but may have, im using basic potting soil, used ferti-lome bloom and rooting plant food the numbers on the container say 9-58-8 is that the NPK ratio? I only used it 1 time. This is how they look this morning. They were a vibrant green color and started looking like this 3-4 days ago.

I dont know much more then you as I have done only two indoor grow so far, but seem like your curling leaves may be issue to some temperature changes ? Maybe protect them during the night or cover them from the wind? I dont see overfeeding either, as a big sign for this is the tip curling up, but using bloom product during vegetative stage may be causing issue, im sure plenty of people here can tell you more about it then myself !

Phosphorous burn could be that ratio looks good for flowering but I think more nitrogen will be needed for veg. Jmo tho,

Way more experienced peeps may have a different answer.

Here's what ii used for grow and what I'm using for bloom

Another thing as a possible cause is what's the pH of the soil and what kind of water do you use tap? Distilled? Ro?

Looks like toxicity or possibly need some calmag or ph problem start at the pH.

Most problems are due to ph lock out post your number for better diagnosis.

That 9-58-8 ratio is pure insanity and has no place anywhere near a pot plant. That cant be right, is that a typo?
If that's accurate I'd say Phosphorus overload big time. Probably setting off a chain reaction locking up calcium and inhibiting N uptake..

I use a regular 20-20-20 fertilizer, Jack's and I use the flowering formula during flowering. I only feed about every 2 weeks. When you start feeding plants with nutrients like that, you are going to burn the shit out of your plants and cause lockouts in the soil, making it doubtful for use for anything. If farmers used nutes like the folks do around here, they would be broke in a year! Go easy on the nutes and use moderation and restraint. It will pay off in the future. Seriously.

Ph is 6.0-6.5. Ive been using tap water, im in the process of checking the ph of my tap water

Thank you for the advice i appreciate it. Im currently thinking about getting some fox farms or ocean forest dirt and transplanting them but im not sure if its the write move or if it will only make it worse from the stress.

I’d would go with coco perlite mix the soil mixers can be a bit hot .

just curious you said they were grown under a UV light?
Yes i started them under 2 multi spectrum UV grow lights for regular plants, i don't have a lot of extra $ to spend on growing them unfortunately, i would have used some type of 400-600 watt halogen or high pressure sodium bulbs for veg and 1000 watt bulbs for flowering thats what a few of the indoor grows had althose might be out dated but thats the way ive seen other's use for indoor crops in the past
I’d would go with coco perlite mix the soil mixers can be a bit hot .
Is mother's earth coco + perlite a good choice its 70%coco and 30% perlite? how often would i need to feed them nutrients and what kind is needed when using coco perlite instead of dirt?
