Runoff ppm in organic soil don't mean much. New bags of FF are usually about 3000ppm.Measure the ppm of your mixed nutrients in water before watering, then measure the ppm of the water runoff into your trays. If the ppm is same or more then you are over feeding nutrients. I use this technique now every time I feed since I had that problem with my last grow. Good luck.
I had this issue for about two weeks maybe a little longer. I am watering when the top of the soil is dry and watering about half a gallon of water at a time.Wow! How long have you had this issue?
how much are you watering and how often?
and can we get some pics in normal light?
yeah, we need pics in normal light. looks like nitrogen toxicity to me, coupled with a bit of overwatering, but without seeing em in normal light neither can be ruled out. you have a handful of issues going on either way and your environment certainly isn't the cause despite humidity being a bit low.
Can you elaborate? I have only fed them once and top dressed them with lower than what was prescribed on the label. What do you mean by fried? like by the amount of light they are taking?Looks overfed and fried.
I top dressed it with 4-4-4 with exact measurements but I didn't use as much as directed due to the plant being smaller. Also this started happening after about three or four weeks after top dressingThis looks like a micronutrient deficiency to my eyes. I just can't remember which one but a Google search should help because the damage is quite distinctive.
Edit: I take that back, with organic soil the odds of a micronutrient deficiency is very low
How much did you top dress with? The 4-4-4 has a lot of water soluble nitrogen which would explain the deep green and poor bud development.
I use the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 in varying ratios throughout veg and bloom. Last feed is usually 75% 2-8-4 and 25% 4-4-4 at a rate of 2 tbsp per gallon of medium.
The five gallon buckets are on little slabs of wood I cut out to get them off the floor maybe a little bigger than an inch high. The fan is sitting straight up usually and is usually on low settings. Lights maybe. The buckets have holes in the bottom I drilled myself.looks severely overwatered, a cold floor? maybe even too much wind from a fan directly pointed at it?
a combination of a few things maybe.. light?
that pail have holes in the bottom and or sides?
I have not seen mites. Drainage might be the problem so that's why I am moving to fabric pots but I want to be able save this one if I can and actually find out what the problem is so I dont repeat it in the future.Have you looked very closely for mites on the plant?
Drainage can also be a problem depending on how many and how big the holes are, I've learned that one the hard way too with peat based mediums.
1st grow.

First time on this website
I was at first growing two plants but after my first plant got topped I immediately saw signs my plant was not happy. I have another plant that I still grow but she is showing signs of the earlier plant. The first plant that showed signs of stress I got rid of thinking it was maybe root rot but after going through and looking at the roots, the roots were looking very healthy and very white. The plants are showing signs of stunted growth and curling of leaves (clawing). Only newer growth is showing these signs of stress where on the other hand older leaves seem to be dying off on the bottom part of the plant. There seems to be very little growth and they have been in flower cycle for about two weeks.
- Light cycle before flower cycle was 18/6
- Light cycle is 12/12
- Watering is from a run off barrel off the back of the house and the PH is around 6.2 to 6.9 with cheap testers I have
- Temp is normally around 74-80 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity around 30-40
- 450w Viparspectra LED
- Soil is Fox Farm Potting Soil
- I water when dry but do get attached to plants and sometimes get carried away with how much water they need.
- I have fan in there running at all times
- I also have a Vivo Sun Air Filter
-Vivo Sun grow tent
- Plastic five gallon buckets with drainage holes ( moving to 5 gallon fabric pots after this grow)
- Light is about 2 feet away
- I have only top dressed them once with gai green 4-4-4

I found out I really like growing these plants but I am getting discouraged by the results. I am also on a budget so I might not have all the tools I need.
