Help with issue on leaf old growth

Folks need a lot more information to give you help. What are you growing in? Soil, Coco, hydro...etc. What have you been feeding them and how often are you feeding? What are the environment and light levels like? It's most likely a magnesium or calcium deficiency but what's causing it is impossible to tell without more information. A picture of the whole plant would be helpful too so folks can see where the damage is showing.

Sorry
Soil, ff fertilizer once per week , 3x3 tent 300 watt light and 475 par , rh is 60 and temp is 74f. I will take more pictures when I get home.

I'm using grow big at 75% tiger at 50% and bloom at 10-20%.
You should be following the feed chart for mixing. No wonder you're having problems.
I'd suggest you're effectively locking it out by not following the feed chart, and not using the nutrients as intended.

I'd probably give it plain water once, with good runoff.
Then continue feeding at manufacturer's recommendations. Dilute with water once mixed if you think it'll be too much.
Stick to the ff chart.

For a newbie you actually have a nice plant going. Heres the deal. No science talk about defiecencies bs. If you are using FF oceam forest it has everyting a plant needs in veg for the 1st month. period end of story. You adding nuts on top of the ocean forest that is a hot soil already meaning all the nutrients there needed. Anything else you are burning it and locking out by killing it over nuts. From here just let it go with normal watering which is another subject. by one month even topping the plant as you should you will have a 1 foot tall great plant ready for flower or by one month add some nuts probably veg nuts a week or so longer then flower it. Go to flower nuts. review, you are giving a young plant way too much nuts just let it grow and live. I can't believe its doing this good with all the nuts u give it. As a newbie I want to caution you that less nuts is alway better then more. It will stunt or kill it when you thinkl its going to grow more and faster adding nuts. Adding nutrient fertilizer is BAD every week. STOP! Work your way up on nuts. Every nut label is way toomuch to give a new plant. Dont beleive it or kill it. Less like one asperine doesn;t mean 4 will be 4 times better. you will get sick......see the comparision? good luck from experience.

In flower start with nuts every 2 or 3 weeks. IF the plant responds well and looks healthy up it a bit or stay at that level. This will produce great end results. Next is water as I'd water a 5 gal pot one time a week. Then check light distance from plant based on the light and air movement in room. Good luck. you can do this getting this far but less please its a weed.

Thanks for the reply but
Not ocean forest soil just plain soil from my garden

And, plain soil from your garden likely isn't helping either. It's probably far too heavy if you didn't add a lot of aeration, before potting.

See how it goes after plain water.

If your soil's indeed heavy and you didn't add aeration, it's much easier to overwater and much easier to overfeed.
So you'll need to consider total EC and how frequently you water. To avoid lockout and or root rot.
If full strength nutes is too much, just dilute with more water once mixed.

Plain water, good runoff, let dry until pot is lighter.
Decide on plain water again or nutrient from there.

Okay get it. usually here FF means Fox FArm ocean forest which next time you should use it. Its the bomb, ready no real need for anything else BUT from experience 3 parts ocean forest 1 part perlite and a tablespoon of lime cuts the heat factor and lets in air. Just mix it with a pail or gallon pot or something. easy. Then nobody knows how hot yard soil is? Mine has worms everywhere so its hot meaning nuts hot naturally. your lucky its doing this well be proud so far. My rule of thumb is for nuts just try 1/2 a teaspoon i mean it that little. wait 4-7 days see if it looks happy without burns usually on leaf tips. Then wee bit up nuts 2 or 3 weeks see if happy. nut companies tell you pile it on. good luck.....giving back, this place made me a hell of a gardener way above my expectations.
