CalMag issue, Heat/light stress

I'm nearing 4 weeks with my 2 fem Blue Widow. #1 is in a 3gal Airpot and #2 is in a 3gal rootmaker. #1 has been showing signs of I believe is Magnesium and possible Calcium problems. I've read that the combination of Airpots and my 357 Magnum LED can cause this. I've not had any issues with #2 girl in the rootmaker pot and they are the same age. #1 is noticeably more vigorous in growth and has more nodes, pistils and secondary branches. #2 has hasn't had any issues until a few days ago I noticed the newest terminal node leaves growing in with a yellow tint. I thought possible heat stress, but it hasn't gone over 80F. More probable is light stress so I moved the panel up 5 inches hoping that will solve the problem. The lower fan leaves on #1 were developing orange and yellow patches and became crunchy at the tips, what is that?? I 've now removed 4 of the bottom leaves because they've stopped growing and I don't want the girl wasting energy on them.

Wow thanks for the words of encouragement...How would I learn if I destroy them before I figure out what I did wrong?..... Start over? fuck you guy.

If yo under 80*F that's cool it's not the heat or the type of pot yo using it what's in the pot maybe the type or brand of dirt could be the wrong kind and any nutrients used if this was 4 weeks for me I'd start over.........

Why would you ever write something like this? Even if the plants were on death's door I wouldn't write such a discouraging, negative, and all together counter-productive post. It also shows your severe lack of knowledge and passion for the art of growing.

Now to your problem. Before jumping to the Cal/Mag conclusion, what are you using for nutrients and at what strength. What is the soil mix you are using, and what is your light cycle like right now.

I do not believe that at 4 weeks of total life (from seed I am assuming) that these plants are doing terrible. At first glance I would just say to get some neutral PH water and try using that for about 10 days at the normal watering schedule, and see if that doesn't clear things up. Also.. the last thing you want to do... especially at this stage is remove precious and vital fan leaves! If your plant is stressing it needs as many healthy leaves as possible in order to convert and store energy. But get at me with those details and I will know better what your situation is. Don't freak out those weeds will be just fine

Dice Clay sorry about not writing back sooner! but here's the low-down: They are in FoxFarm OceanForest soil and just water for the first month. I started nutrients today at Mild strength, using GH 3-part liquid. Also my light cycle has been 24/0 from the start. Yesterday I flushed both of them with 1gal of PH water each and they look much better today. I think I had too much salt build up in the soil coupled with a nute lockout. In the beginning I was being lazy and not PH testing my tap water, and for using tap water in general was a stupid idea. I know I should not have cut those fan leaves off now and I saw first hand the plant growth slow immensely. After more reading it seemed the consensus was to only cut them off if they were 3/4 dead already They're calyx and pistil development has been steady and they already smell kinda dank I know my yield won't be huge but it's a start! I was thinking of letting them veg for a few more weeks before I go to 12/12. I figure by then they won't be stressed any longer and bud production will be as good as i can get.
