Cant figure out what is wrong with my plants

I feel like someone would've corrected the shit outta me and told me to fuck off by now if I was wrong. Your environment is good, your soil is good (when used properly), and your lighting is good. All I can see from your pictures is overwatering and nutrient burn. Maybe the strains you've grown in the past could handle the nutrients but this is a different plant and could be weaker.

U prob over watered a couple of times. How's the new growth look? Also u should trim some fan leaves from inside the canopy that shit needs to breath u can prob pull the ones that are more than half dead as well imho

Don't get defensive...they may have been right at maximum nutrients (from soil) when you started feeding them. Sure looks like nutrient burn to me.

I'm not I just dont believe its nutrient burn. It grew in that soil for weeks before anything started showing on leaves. Hadnt fed anything at this point. 4-5 weeks after being in the ffof they started showing an issue. That's when I started feeding. To be sure if the soil was to strong I would have seen something before 4-5 weeks. And then doesnt nutrient burn start at the tips? It all started with spots in middle of leaves

Watering every 3-4 days I dont believe it's getting over watered. The pots are light when I water. New growth doesnt look bad. Looks normal. just midway and below are effected. And I hate to cut off leaves that are good if im gonna continue to lose leaves until it straightens out lol

Ok. I water every 3-4 days and pots a light when watering. And it's the same strain I've been growing the past idk how many times. Lol but I do get that it's a whole different plant. I was just thinking I would have seen an issue of nutrient burn before 4 weeks of being in that soil.

is this close to what it looks like to you?
Yeah it does. But I'm giving cal mag and my ph is right. That's what someone told me when I posted about it a couple weeks ago. It definitely looks like that from that last pic but there may be more than just that issue. But like i said i give cal mag with every watering cause I'm using distilled water and my ph is good so I dont know why it won't take the calmag that's there

Calcium deficiencies are more likely to appear when…
  • Grower is using filtered or reverse osmisis (RO) water to feed plants – the amount of calcium found in tap water varies, but some tap water has enough calcium to prevent calcium deficiencies
  • PH is Too Low – If grow medium is acidic (below 6.2 pH, Calcium can get locked out even if the Calcium is physically there)
  • Growing cannabis in hydroponics or coco coir without supplementing extra Calcium (it’s recommended to use a Calcium supplement in hydro or coco)
  • When growing in soil that hasn’t been supplemented with calcium (usually from dolomite lime)
  • Too much potassium can also sometimes cause the appearance of a calcium deficiency
  • Outdoors – calcium deficiency is more likely to appear in acidic soil (below 6.2 pH

This was a pic around when it started before it progressed
If I play Devil's Advocate and look at this as a deficiency Phosphorus def actually looks a lot like your problem but I'm not comfortable suggesting the deficiency of nutrients when you say you transplanted and the problem got worse.

Right so I'm giving calmag every watering so that scratches the first one. My Ph is good so that scratches the 2nd one. Not in coco so not the 3rd one. I'm supplementing with calmag so not the 4th. Maybe to much potassium but I havent fed a whole lot? Idk

My problem has been progressively getting worse for weeks. Not just since transplant which was couple days ago

curious you said your lights off temp was upper 60s is that in the room at what height?and are the plants on a cold cement floor when they were over watered especially?that can cause some issues in motion like domino's.just curious.they pretty much covered the obvious and if you do not think it is any of what you herd so far just thought that could be something but Im stoned right now so what the hell do I know.

This: " It always starts midway through flower when I start seeing issues"

Now ask yourself what elements this plant wants most at this point in it's life, and you'll find your answer. Good luck.

Every soil grow with a problem I have read has pH ing the water as a suspect. Some people can have a few degrees of error in their work. Maybe the probe is off by 0.4 after a few waters with an off pH it can start to cause many problems.

I would stop pH ing so low. Maybe flush with some un pHed water

Also, to really really help solve this, test the ppm of some run off after watering with plain water . Also test the pH of the run off. People might say against it, but if you measure the ppm going in at 130 and the run off is 1900 then we will know something.

This isn't in flower. I'm saying that's when I usually see issues. This is in veg

It only takes one or two times , early in life even .if new growth looks good u should be ok. Also cut leaves that are more than half dead.
