This is a gorilla glue auto I planted on January 22nd it’s sister is doing far better (First picture) there was some nutrient burn when she was a seedling (soil maybe) however the plant grew out of it and I haven’t fed it since. Any idea what could be going on here I’m clueless and any help would be appreciated!2DE72D39-8158-4952-A441-3AEA52C78CD2.jpeg800782B4-283A-4A9A-BE90-616463EAC1A3.jpegBC0A51E3-72D9-4C4A-9BE9-BC9CFC0059E6.jpeg

I’m not sure of the soil ph I still need to buy some ph testing stuff for that. The temp is usually around 21 to 24 during the day but it went up to like 28 one day while I was not there too fix it. The humidity is extremely low usually 10-20 I’ve been trying to get it to go higher but I can’t find a way yet. I’m kinda new to this is testing soil ph important?

PH is very important. Collect some of your runoff and use a color tester or digital. I would get both to keep your digital honest.
Temp looks good. Humidity has to be corrected too. It’s probably ph but low humidity can cause issues like that.

If you want an answer now. Flush with ro water or distilled, 3x your pot size. Mix half strength nutes and feed in a few days. Ph meter is first priority. A bucket of water bubbling will help humidity.

thank you I’m gonna get right to flushing I have ro water so I’m gonna be right on that and tommorow I’ll go grab an air pump and throw it in a bucket of water! Hopefully it gets better I’d hate to waste a plant and I really appreciate the tips thanks again

Low humidity shouldn't make your plant look like that. I have super low RH, around 10-15 usually and have never had any major signs of distress because of it. It's also only on one of the two plants. I would guess the pH might be off, or it was given too much nutes, and now has lockout.

Low humidity causes more transpiration therefore they feed more (low humidity less food high humidity more food). I’ve noticed calcium seems to be affected with low humidity buts that’s just my experience.

There’s a difference between a plant living in low humidity and one being subjected to it.

That’s why it’s important to keep your temps/humidity constantly avoid issues like this.

I agree that with lower RH, the plants will transpire more. It drinks more then, which makes it a lot easier to overdue on the nutes or mess up the pH. I would prefer my RH higher, but haven't had a problem yet, so I'm not trying to fight my dry climate if I can help it. They're just a little pickier with the low RH in my experience.
