Not a problem. You are in good shape your tops are looking good and don’t fret about those bottom leaves you’re going to cut off. The plant actually uses energy to try to keep those sick looking leaves alive so it is better to get rid of a leaf that is looking bad from previous deficiencies. Just remember the smaller the pot the smaller the plant. It is good that you have a 5 gallon pot ready to transplant into because it she sure needs it most everybody here is very compassionate and want to help others grow an herbal medicine that has it’s medical benefits suppressed by big pharm and big control government. You are going to have to change that word ugly and your title to pretty soon.
@zparkie2 , I read somewhere about energy being pulled from bottom by the top new growth but only if the plants isn’t getting everything it needs from the medium.
My main concerns for now and for future grows is to set the soil to a proper ph (6.5). I flushed hard with (6.8 / 7.0) ph water but it appears the organic soil always brings it down to its level, so I decided to add small amount (2tbspn) of garden lime on top of her new 5 gallon pot , and now I’m waiting to see any effects.
It would amazing to get something out of her considering this is my first attempt at growing anything from seed to harvest and to be honest Im loving every day of it so far, especially with the support and help im getting from everyone here.
I need to make a correction from a top post. Your ppm was fine in the 1000 range. Your plant doesn’t look young or small. It appears to b in a pot a little small for its size. My plants in flower go upwards of 2000 ppm and still no nute burn. I think your ph is your problem along with being rootbound.
Thank you all for helping me out with my plant , its been such a great experience so far. Just wanted to let you know she is doing great after 2 weeks in a 5 gallon fabric pot.
Only point is she is 47 days and a little small dont u think ?
Alot of the symptoms cleared out and here is how I think …
Increasing the nutrients
Leaves color was lime green instead of green
Increasing CalMag to 4ml per gallon now i see her color coming back to normal.
Im still struggling with PH I bought a soil test by adding garden lime I brought the ph from 5.5 to 6.0 ph roughly. Im afraid to add more it taks time to dissolve.
Thank you @Sixpackdad , I appreciate the support . .
Still having minor issues with her but overall she is looking pretty good . I’m still waiting for LED replacement , the one she is under emits a feint amount of light when turned off which from what I’ve read and understood is a big problem during transition and flowering.
Looks like multiple deficiencies happening, which could be pH related or your plant could just be hungry.
Looking closer, the ones with the yellowing & brown between the viens are leaves from the bottom only? A lot of times, the bottom one or two sets of leaves will naturally die off. Not sure if this is what’s happening here, or not.
I’ve been trying to increase the ph levels by topping the soil with garden lime before every feeding but I havent being able to get it to the proper level yet.
Feeding schedule is what is really confusing to me. The soil doesn’t dry too quickly ( finger knuckle feels moist ) it does drains really well and retain moisture for a long time.
Nutrients (3-2-1) Flora series aggressive feeding (1/4) amount recommened at her stage.
I’ve been feeding her once a week untill i feel the soil has dried and her weight feels light aswell.

No , I havent been watering between feed. I only feed her with Nutrients (3-2-1) Flora series aggressive feeding (1/4) amount recommened at her stage.
