Multiple issues

You will be ok. Dont make any drastic moves. She is going to be ok. Take a breath you have to try pretty hard to kill weeds.
Lol.. I get that but id like to get the
Learning here myself and this is not advice just hoping to see if the experts here think I am anywhere near the target. I think perhaps a little calcium and magnesium issue. As well as a little hungry. The purple petioles are no problem. Purple stems can be magnesium def. Rust spots on leaves possibly calcium def. Your PH seems ok so should not be lockout from that. I would personally fluctuate my PH up and down from 6.3 to perhaps 6.8. Maybe 6.5 next water and then 6.8 and back down. I would assume the possible calcium def is not the result of a potassium antagonist as I do not see heavy potassium use. It is smart not to full dose your plants (especially when young and tender); however, at this point she is in the fast lane. Her requirements are higher, therefore; you may want to up the dose from 1/4 to something higher.
Also slow down. Everything is going to be ok. You are doing great!
Thank you for helping me learn.
Lol im trying to be as patient and delicate as i can. Just got me a lil nervous honestly.. What exactly will fluctuating my ph do?. Ive also watered with just recharge 3 times since sprouted idk if that contains a supply of potassium or not tho i meant to put that in my first post!. I appreciate the feed back!
 
:toke:-- she's needing more bloom feeds! That soil is now where near rich enough to carry her well, especially now,....and look at BB more carefully... notice the NPK is all in the decimal range, very very weak. BB is great stuff, but the name is a misnomer, Tiger Bloom is what you should use, that's the base bloom nute counterpart to GrowBig,...
I'd lay off the Ca-Mg once you start nutes, unless your well water is very soft(low ppm/CaCO3 hardness)?
A little tip yellowing/browning is a pretty generic symptom, several things can cause that beside nute burn... the larger necrotic patches look like P defc. I think, need closer pics of that to be sure but most likely as it's in max' demand right now!
.... in-pot PH is something you need to start monitoring, and to do that you'll need a soil pH probe of some kind (often wrongly called meters; those are for liquids only)... The Accurate 8 (CPW) is a good unit, but the cheapo skinny probe units you see at garden centers are shit, don't bother! This more important than usual as long as you roll the dice with any Fuxfarts soils.. notoriously iffy in quality, often badly off pH right out of the bag; lousy composting/cooking, , garbage sticks, stones, even bugs... there are better soils for little more $, worth every extra dime IMO,...
Thank you! Yea i totally jumped the gun on soil for certain. After getting it and reading more about it i had a feeling that i went the wrong route there and i still have a good bit but will trash it lol.. Would you recommend any specific soil and nutrient line? Id like to get away from all this fox farm stuff and try an all organic approach.. Buuut today i did feed her 1/4 dose of tiger bloom. I also topped dressed with earthworm castings.. I knew i was lacking in a few areas. I actually have a cheap ph probe and its definitely junk when reading ph. I think it reads moisture decent though. Will definitely be getting the Accurate 8! So next time my pot is dry should i feed again with TB since i only used 1/4 dose today? I really appreciate all the advice and input!
 
FF nutes are OK, but the soil is a gamble! Roots Organics has a decent organic line or two, but I'd include a Si supplement, kelp, humic-fulvic, enzymes and inoculants....
Their soil is fine too, Original, not 707 (a bit hot)... Royal Gold King's Mix is my go-to these days...
Keep on the TB, at or near full strength, but not every time you water necessarily,... dilute to half if you go that way.... EWC is weak,....good, but weak in nutes....

Oh and the ppm of my well water is around 340.
 
wow, that's an issue man, very hard water loaded with mineral, CaCO3 mainly,... too much CaCO3 will start to screw with pH (raises it), cumulatively loads the soil up with minerals which also screws with uptake of nutes... no more Ca-Mg at all meantime,... look into blending you water with RO/Di, even those self fill machines make low ppm water,... about 150ppm plain water is good to work from,...

Yea ive seen good reviews on the fox farm nute line up but i dont really like that the TB isnt organic like the grow big and big bloom but will use it the remainder of this grow.. Ive looked into roots organic a little bit shortly after i got the fox farm though Lol..
I meant to mention also that i have Recharge.. Is that safe to mix with my nutes? Or should i only mix that with water? Sorry for all the questions btw lol.

Shit! Ok. So mix distilled water with my well water to 150ppm.. Should i flush soil? Lol
 
Wanna thank everyone again who took time out of their day to give advice and show support.. Should have done more homework b4 i started lol.. Much love!
 
@Bill_Nye88 I told you @Waira is the man. Waira you need to come to Dallas for bbq!
:drool: don't tempt me! I dream of brisket,... thanks Jackson! I've been struggling to keep up with things here while the site has been TARFU, but it's looking great tonight, so i can rell in some slack finally,... sorry if i missed some tags, it's been a mess...
