Hello all, this is my very first legal grow in my 4 x 4 x 6.5 tent. I'm running a 1000w mars hydro full spectrum light, using 5gal fabric pots, fox farms ocean forest soil as well as fox farms nutrients. I am currently 3ish weeks in from sprout .

I am growing 4 autoflowers (gorilla glue, sour d, hindu kush & mazar). I've been noticing some "deficiencies" and of course I over think everything. Lol. On my mazar I am noticing some slight yellowing on lower leafs.. but nothing scary I suppose. My guess was the soil was too hot or it needed nitrogen? My hindu kush is all kinds of not right.. not sure what it needs or what it doesnt. My gorilla glue has slight leaf curling and a purple tent? I'm sure it needs some kind of nutrient..potassium? I cant complain about my sour d too much besides it's kind of light on color.

I just gave my first round of big bloom nutes in a half dosage (2.5ml) in almost a gallon. I always ph my water to 6.5 once its room temp and try my best to keep my tent in the 75 deg. and 50% rh until bloom.

I am open to any help, having a hard time knowing when to add nutes and if I'm needing anything more! I have attached some pictures to

Thanks so much

@FermentedTerps Welcome to AFN. If anything maybe a little too much Nitrogen. I think a bigger concern is PH. Are you checking the PH in the root zone (where it counts) I highly recommend an Accurate 8 Soil probe for this job or a more expensive BlueLabs. BlueLabs makes several types so make sure to get the correct one if you buy theirs.

But like @Zamnesia Battle says they do not look bad just a little something on the one.

Thanks for that info!! I am not checking the ph in the root zone at the moment. I will definitely look into soil probe and get one ordered asap. I have checked my run off and it was at 6.8, but I need to stay on top of that more it seems!

@Mañ'O'Green would something like this work? Or do I need to bite the bullet and spend more on something from bluelabs?
