My one plant had had a recent issue the past week or two and i can not solve it. On Friday i watered with cal mag and ff big bloom. I constantly water 3-4 days, cal mag each time of recent and big bloom every other. My specs are below

thinking heat stress for starters? How close is your light and inside temp. I always start chasing an issue with PH, with the FFOF you should be around 6.5 and I noticed you mentioned no nutrients?? For that medium she would be ready around week 4 or 5 to start feeding and always to run off
Sorry i did not update that set up breakdown i provided
I have been using nutrients: cal mag every watering the past two weeks and big bloom every other watering at quarter to half strength of recommendation.
The grow tent average temperature is 70-75f and 70% humidity
Lights are at 75% strength and roughly 15in away.
My other plant has no similar issues at all: just the one shown
Problems like that on the lower leaves is normal for a plant at that stage. I’m perplexed as to why it might happen only on a few of the newer leaves. I haven’t seen such a thing before. If you have healthy new growth and it isn’t spreading to other leaf sets it may not be worth worrying about, but let’s see what more growers have to say.
She should be ready for some real food. Big bloom is just an organic supplemental. There’s not really much in it. Have you checked your runoff for ppms?
You shouldn’t need to feed Cal-mag every watering with FFOF. To this day aka since I started growing in May 2018 to current time I have never had to use Cal-mag. Espeicially if using tap water.
The one and only time I used Cal-mag and the plant went down hill so faster than a $2 hooker at a football convention.
I had to pull the two plants. I wish I would have taken photos of it. So I have never used it since and have been perfect. I still have it just in case.
You would just water to runoff until you have around 10-20% runoff. Then stick a tds meter in the runoff. This is the easiest way to see the nutrient level of your soil. If you’re under 1000ppm, you can start giving real feeds.
Last night i fed cal mag, fox farms big bloom, grow big and tiger bloom. Check the ph (6.4) of the feed as well as ppm (543). I teated the runoff and got a ph of 6.2 and ppm of 1540. This is how they look tonight. I don’t know what the issue could be. Temp remains 70-75 and humidity 60-75. I keep the mars hydro at about 75% of its full spectrum right now and the distance is enough to not be light burn. Any recommendations on how to move forward?
It takes a bit for the nutrients to reach the plant. The damaged leaves will stay damaged. Eventually the plant will discard them. It’s the new growth you’ll be looking at now. 1500 is a good ppm.
