Help with diagnosis

So, my clones are in 1 gallon pots with organic soil. I use a combo of Greentree Growers Blend, Happy Frog, perilite, coco, and verm. I use tap water to water and have used a small amount of Roots Organics Buddha Grow.
I am just starting to grow organically after decades of hydro, so I am not used to diagnosing deficiencies. This symptom is showing up as the plants get bigger. This one is now 3-4 weeks old. Could it be due to the plant needing a repotting? Cal Mag problem? Something else?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I want to get over to the grow store today and get whatever I need to fix this!

If you have only used a small amount of grow , then thats almost always the prob for real organics. we never give um enough food. give her a full dose of grow. im guessing just a lil shy on N ,. grow food in general. Even in supersoil , we gotta feed them after about 6 weeks, so 3 or 4 weeks is about right for a regular good soil.

I gave them some Epsom salts foliar spray and hit them with General Organics Cal Mag. Next feeding will be with the Roots Organics Buddha Grow.
I’m going to add lime to my soil mix next time, too. Anyone suggest maybe a better organic grow fertilizer than Roots Organics?

She needs REAL food right away....epson salt and cal mag are for defs. your plant is starved of macro nutes not just micro nutes. you dont need a "better" food , use the one you got sir.

I picked up some General Organics grow. Tomorrow I’ll give it to them. And yea, I had an Apollo 11 looking like that after a month in a one gallon pot, and when she was repotted into new soil, she started looking better. Now the plant is taking off.

It’s funny how new this is to me, after years with hydro. With hydro, you get a good PH under 6.0 and measure your PPM and it’s dialed in. People think hydro is harder, but I’m thinking just the opposite, lol.

soil is MUCH harder and WAY better imo.
a month in a one gallon pot is going to require lots of liquid food no matter what.:joint:

After that they are going into SIPs. I have 4 that went into 10 gallon pots with some super soil type mix. I’m going to veg them for a while, too. But my plan is to veg for a month in one gallon pots, transplant to Growboxes for flowering.

And yea, I’ll figure it out. I started doing soil grows, but that was a LONG time ago, lol. And thanks for the tips!
