Hi folks!

I'm a 1st time indoor, so I'm not totally clear to diagnose this syntoms, they're in the 6th week,

Here are the complete setup:
  • Seeds: Sensiseed indoor mix.
  • Day temperature: 78°F. (18 hours)
  • Night temperature: 69°F (6 hours)
  • Fan: 14 hours in slow.
  • Humid: 55%
  • Light: CFL T5 2’ 8,000 lumen, 4 3000k lamps at 2” from the highest canopy and 3 42w twister 3200k bulbs around at 2".
  • Food: grow solution at 500ppm with 0.01% vitamins, 0.05%H2O2; 2 times per day.
  • pH: 5.8
Thanks a lot for your time,
Cheers!

can drop your ph a bit too maybe 5.6-5.7 and see if you cant raise your humidity a tad
directly from sticky:
Potassium (K) Mobile Element and Macro Element

Potassium plays a big role as well. Having good amounts of potassium in your plants helps in having sturdy and thick stems, disease-resistance, water respiration, as well aids in photosynthesis. Potassium is also found in the whole plant. It is necessary for all activities having to do with water transportation. Potassium is necessary for all stages of growth, especially important in the development of Buds.

Having to little of Potassium in your plants causes the plants leaves to show retarded growth and show a scorched tip and edges around the leaves. Plants may stretch and your branches can be easily broken or weak. Don’t get this deficiency confused with iron, because it almost acts like iron but to tell the difference in the two is: for potassium the tips of the leaves curl and the edges burn and die. Older leaves may show a red color and leaves could curl upwards. Dead patches (Necrosis) can happen on the margins of larger fan leaves thus, the leaves will eventually die off and turn brown. The Older leaves will show different patches of color (mottle) and turn yellow between the veins, following by whole leaves that turn dark yellow and die. The plants overall growth slows down, mostly when they are in vegetative stage. To little amount of potassium also slows the growth of buds during flowering stages. Dark edges will appear around the edges of the leaf when the deficiency is starting to happen. When your Relative humidity is low, you can almost bet your going to soon get a potassium deficiency from your plants perspiration.
Potassium can get poorly absorbed when having too much Calcium or ammonium nitrogen, and maybe cold weather. Having to much sodium (Na) causes potassium to be displaced. SO keep those in mind… Parts affected by a Potassium Deficiency are: older leaves and leaf margins
