I have never seen this, have a slight feeeling it’s some kind of symptom that she is root bound. Any help will be welcomed.

Looks like iron deficiency. Your PH might be too high. Try adjusting PH of your soil to 6, and avoid adding watering too much.

I water every Friday and nutrients every Monday. She is 100% rootbound but was tryna push it so that’s probably it. The other plant is giving me the same issue.
It’s time to flush
Alright! I’ll set her up for a flush, I just gave her more nutes so hope it doesn’t hurt her too much
If shes root bound flushing will only help, not hurt her. Anyway, it’s in the vegetative stage so there’s always time to recover and come back even stronger
True, I’ll flush her one she dries up, I added some calmag that has some iron in it too so I hope it works.
Iron deficiency is rarely cured by adding more stuff, it’s usually the opposite. You think you’re helping her by adding iron but you’re actually blocking her from receiving it. Remember less is more! Flushing is your best friend in this case, stay away from calmag and try to balance the PH to make sure she absorbs the iron.

Whenever that kind of stuff happens, flush the soil, clean the environment, fix humidity, and let a fan circulating the air.
Why are you feeding in that schedule? I feed every 2 days with nutrients and been doing good so far.

I’m using fox farms which has a high salt content. So I only do it 1x per week. Also if I only waited 2 days she would still be wet
You actually want her wet to start flushing. Dry soil makes washing nutrients harder, as they stick to the soil and it repels water. Don’t worry about root diseases, flushing actually washes out more of the fungus and bacteria that cause it.
About calmag it actually blocks the uptake of iron, as it contains… well you guessed calcium and magnesium, iron’s worst ennemies! The reason why some manufacturers add iron is probably because they know this. The main reason for the flush is to remove specifically these nutrients that block iron absorption.

So like flush Down to my waters ppm - 100 over the base ppm. And then do a light feeding?
I think i have a similar problem just abit more far gone 
and 17 days in flower… can i flush with just tap water is my question and should i balance it. i have been using ro water but limited to the amount of liters i have daily and balancing ph to 6.2 but recently heard i shouldnt have to because the soil macronutriants will buffer the ph to the needed ph being organic 
but im not certain thats true but i will flush and then ammend nutrients and also get a soil ph tester so i can monitor ph of soil then when i flush i will messure the ph of the run off. sorry to jump in on your post…i would like to see how u fix this problem and hope yout plants recover
No mater what anybody on the internet tells me I know that the ph like u said should always be a 6.2 when poured in. Because idk what the soil is gonna do but the microbes are mkre available and feed better given a certain ph. But just oh your tsp water you’ll be fine

You can use tap water but keep in mind it contains chlorine which will kill most of the microorganisms in the soil. If you’re already using RO water the microorganisms can adjust the PH themselves because PPM is really low.
You don’t need a soil PH tester, you can just collect the water that comes out the holes of your pot and test that. Again, I don’t think PH is your problem. Maybe if you send some photos we can identify what might be the cause.

So update, I flushed with 6.2 PH water. It seems that the Iron deficiency only got worse after I flushed it. Really feel like I have to just get her the bigger pot, cause idk what else the culprit could be.
That’s normal after the flush, you have to wait a few days after updating your feeding schedule to see if the problem persists. Nitrogen is the most important in this stage.
So I have the fox farms trio, and calmag from Bushdoctor. I’m planning on 30ml of big bloom, and 5ml of grow big, and 5 ml of calmag per gallon. I will add the ratio until I reach the ppm I want which I usually do with 1 dosing at the alreadybsaid interval doses. I’ll give it to it every Monday like a normal feeding. My normal feeding is usually bottom watered or it’s around 1000ml if top fed. I want to help the babies out as much as possible.
As I feared, you’re not feeding enough nitrogen. FoxFarm’s feeding schedule includes nitrogen rich products like boomerang and wholly mackerel which you don’t seem to be using.
Don’t add calmag if you’re using tap water as it probably already has calcium and magnesium.
Also, you should feed every time you water your plants, not just on mondays. If you give it all at once, you might shock your plant.
I would probably use 2ml grow big 4ml of big bloom (1ml calmag if using ro water) per gallon every time you water your plants, at PH 6.2.
It recommends 6tsp, so I don’t think (ml will cut it. Plus that won’t get my PPm’s anywhere at all. Plus I’ve tried and my tap water just doesn’t have enough mag. I think the calcium in it’s good but I’ve always needed mag, I used to use just in scented epsilon salt to add magnesium. Plus if I’m already dealing with nutrient lockout, how could it be better to add nutrients more often. Plus my reason for feeding on Monday and water Friday is that I don’t wanna overload them with nutrients too quick.
