you're doing great with the setup you've got! I'd try to get a stronger light with a dimmer, but otherwise the grow setup is fine for a plant or two
What is going on with this?

hmm.. Ok I guess its not but once it does from the light it will stay like that which isnt a real bad thing. It helps me figure out if I have my lights too bright and or close.
Like some said already they do look pretty good this far in. If the purple tapers where leafs or buds are shading it Id think thats light.
Not hard to do and somewhat normal when feeding them 600-900ppfd. It is soil though so idk. Just bored and keeping company. Many people having to rebump their thread.
It does pick up from time to time. Anyways good luck! They look great!

Too much nitrogen me thinks

Ik the soil has to much nitrogen so its overpowering with my nutes I use

Try top dressing some peatmoss. Might bring it down a little bit after a couple waterings.
I wouldn't go throwing a bunch of stuff at it trying to bring it down, will do more harm than good.
You can get away with 7.5 more important is your input pH.
Half strength nutes, it's probably buildup.
EC meter will be some help, I think you'll find EC in the pot high, but soon see.
How often do you water/feed?

How much a couple pinchful or handful and just mix it with the top soil? I also already half dose my nutes so should I do that again?

And it says I can use this ph down I have in soil should I try that first since water isn't working or just do peatmoss?

They look good. to me. Maybe kind of darker green.
There are some links in my sig that take you to a cannabis deficiency page.
My own recent experience with runoff was low ph Red in the gh drops kit. high runoff ec 2.8>
I fed half ec of my usual feed and now my plant has deficiency signs. Before I tried to help it after seeing my runoff numbers it looked fine.
I'm growing in a peat/bark and pearlite mix. Using GH 3 part with cal/mag and ro water.
My take away? Don't mess with it. We'll see how that works out.........

No, that was my take away from my plant. I was hovering, second guessing, and made a change I didn't need to my feeding schedule and I can see the slight set back. All I did was fed half my normal strength 1 time.
Your plant looks like, if anything, P from npk is the one that stands out most on the deficiency links. Idk, I feed around 1.8 ec ph 6 going in.
I don't really check ec, I just use the tsp measurements. Like a lot of guys using smaller lights i half the recommendation per stage of growth.
If you want to learn to diagnose, take a look at the link in my sig and make up your own mind. Then go from there.
Advice is great, but you have to compare it to your situation and see if it really applies.
Environment is very important, vpd in range, light height and leaf temp to air temp diff. 5 degree f btw.
The leaf is basically the wet bulb in this scenario. But lights too low can make that too high. Or too far away not enough temp diff.
You will get a feel for vpd enough to notice the way outside plants are effected by it during different weather conditions.
Ac infinity controllers now have vpd stuff built in or you can get a free phone app. It just tells you what temps and RH are the most conducive to growing anything.

I've been seeing it alot I have a tent that is controlled and 1 that isn't the worst one is the homade tent

Water won't work, soil's buffered. You need something like sulphur. That's why I suggest peatmoss.
I don't suggest using straight sulphur, or anything else like that.
Though some peatmoss won't hurt and might bring the pH down some.
No, do not do that.
That's not how it's supposed to be used.
Keep your water and nutrient solution in the right range.
Inch or two layer on the surface. Water it in well. Plain water once will be ok.
If there's a bit of nutrient buildup, plain water should help.
I'm of the do mostly nothing approach.
At least until you get your EC meter. Even then, I wouldn't necessarily change anything.
I think easy does it.

Appreciate the help I have a ec and ppm meter otw but I think it's gonna be late js left LA and was supposed to be here tomorrow

Plants look good mate, don’t mess with it too much. your humidity is a little low and the plant will transpire faster; eating through its nutes a bit quicker. Bump humidity up to 65ish, make sure your temps aren’t dropping too much overnight and upgrade your light when you can afford it.
Well done, they look good.

Shit I'm not even worried about humidity fr it's hard it's in a homade tent with no humidifier and only enough room for 1 or 2 thing of water only bring it up to ab 50 my other plants have almost the same in rh and aren't doing the same thing
Im just more worried ab the red stems

The stems aren’t an issue.. you could hang a wet towel in there to bump humidity on the cheap.. it’s one of your important fundamental parameters and that thing is pulling more nutes than it needs too, hence the slightly darker green leaves and beginnings of tip burn.. but all in all I’d say they look good for a 100w light.
