Leaf Discoloration

Been reading the forums for about 2 years but just got to a point where I am doing a serious grow. I've done one or two plants here and there in less than optimal setups. Anyhow, I'm getting into this grow and have been having leaf discoloration issues with one of my plants. Discoloration started at 4 weeks and has progressed since (currently at week 6). Any advice on what I'm looking at and how to approach treatment would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Looks like calcium, very common. You got your PH right? Add in CalMag.

Here's where I show my newbie status... I didnt realize I should be checking ph with soil... I will start adding CalMag to my feedings for sure. Should I consider foliar feeding this one for accute care or will adding it to the water for feedings be enough? Thanks for the assist!

Probably would benefit from foliar feeding bc leaf problems are an indicator of root zone problems

You need to throw it away and start over.

If you ph your soil then your water you'll go crazy. Just do the water.

What soil are you using?

Whatever your doing. Stop lol... these plants are pretty resilient. Especially in soil/coco... they'll bounce back. Do as the guys say before my post and you'll be on the right path.

I scored a large quantity of miracle grow organic potting soil that I am using right now. Before I get lectured on that let me head you all off at the pass. Cost was an issue for the intial grow and it was free, I'm already aware that ideally I should use a super soil mix or higher quality potting soil like fox farms. Thanks again gang.

Also as fas as "whatever I'm doing now" all I've been doing is using ro water with light feeding amounts of general organics root booster and terpinator. Should I just go straight water then?

Feed them that rooting solution to help the process... see what they do in the next 3 to 5 days. Go from there bro...

Looks like they are starving. Pics indicate many deficiencies. I would pot up and feed them. The container looks pretty small(solo cup) for a six week old plant.

Ya I didn't transplant as early as I hoped. They're now in 5 gallon smartpots. I did notice some root bound at transplant.

Thanks man I'll follow up in a few days

Low N during stretch does this.

Psb, Jamaican guano, worm castings tea wouldn't hurt. I get that with stretchy strains and going bloom nutes at flip day1.

Next, leaf's may start falling.
