That is a hungry plant.
Repot if you can.
Basically it needs some complete nutrition at least weekly. In this case more. Your nutes and tea at full strength and appropriate volume.
Deficiency in pretty much everything.
 
3/4 gal is small for soil grows, try repotting to a larger pot for more nutrients or add something like 20-20-20 and calmag to your water
 
Agreed on mag def: regardless, it is time for a transplant to a 2-3 gal pot with a good soil mix, and then feed with calmag and veg nutes on next watering. Pre-soak your new soil with a light nutes mix first for ~24hrs, it should be moist not soaking wet when transplanting. Wait for your plant to get thirsty and then transplant your ~dry rootball into the moist soil surrounding. Let it take to the new soil for a day or two before your next water/feed.

I use promix/sphagnum/coco/perlite/worm casting mix with Fox Farm nutes trio as my base. For ~3gal of water, I usually mix 2 cap-fulls of calmag, 1 cap of grow big, and 2 caps of the big bloom. That gets me pretty close to target EC and Ph is never an issue. I also add Orca beneficials the make the roots happy. You can use Mykes powder when you transplant to help with root health also.
 
I thought you only really need cal-mag when using distilled water? Also I feel they do need up potted but how is it people are doing bonsai plants!? And this guy Mainegrower on insta has like 3 ft plants in solo cups

If you are growing in medium that is pimarily peat/coco/perlite then I've found it best to mix in some garden lime with it to buffer the pH and add calcium and magnesium. When I've used ProMix HP (almost all peat) I mixed 2 tbsp/gal of garden lime in with it before filling my pots. Then, when I flip to flower, I top dress with 1Tbsp/gal of garden lime.


Also I feel they do need up potted but how is it people are doing bonsai plants!? And this guy Mainegrower on insta has like 3 ft plants in solo cups.

They have skills and know how to maintain them properly. From what I understand the solo cup grows require a ton of maintenance to grow well.

6 ft plant in the same size pot as your plant. If the base nutes you use provide everything the plant needs then you don't get deficiencies and don't need calmag or any other additives. I just use cheap non cannabis specific nutes. Have been for years. Plants grow big and healthy.

That looks like a LOT of work!! I'm assuming you use drip irrigation or similar automation to keep that thing happy?
