Looks like phosphorus deficiency... ( soil may be getting deficient) you can supplement with a feed or a scratch in more soil / then water in.
or grab some bone meal

When you mention feed.I remember to mention that i did not feed my plants yet.Can feeding be appropriate right now since the plant is going through this condotion?? I appreciate your feedback.Bless up Man

You can start simple ..... grab a scoop or two of fresh soil . Add around plant . Ph water to 6.5 .
Water in.
It really is that simple.

Any bennies? Do you soak entirely everytime you water/feed?

Could also be light burn? What light are you using? Height?
I did soak entirely on my first 2week and realized i might face overwatering.So i stopped.But your right i did that to my plants before.
Am using 600watt vspectra height on 38/39.

I’d guess it’s a watering frequency issue. I’ve had plants get pretty big off only tap water in a hydro medium, and in soil the plant should get pretty large I doubt it needs more NPK if anything maybe a small dose of ca-mg but most likely just letting the roots dry too much or something
Thanks for the advise.i will try to do that and check their reaction.Am a new member and already feel at home.Respeect
I see.they suppose to be bigger that that but remember am growing in a big pott.Did not start from small container.I think that mistake made my plants grow kinda slower than the one grown in small container.Do you think my happy frog soil don’t need ADDED Nutrients yet?? Instead i introduce Cal mag??I also water after 3 days depending on how my soil top look.

I do heavy waterings and let the pots dry up quite a bit in between, the key IMO is to make sure the soil is fully saturated at watering. If this is good potting soil, it should be tough to overwater. A good watering will make sure you arent getting any air-pockets in the soil that would fry some fresh roots.
A good practice when watering is to water a little bit at first then wait. This allows the water to sponge up the soil and avoids the water from running around the pot. After a few minutes or longer (depending how dry you let it get) Do a second watering and allow 10-20% runoff water, nice and slow is the best way to water. I also use a nice watering can by DRAMM , the rosebud will make it easy to disperse the water where you wanna put it.
When the plant is young sometimes I only water around the base of the stem when it is young, I figure with a good potting soil the moisture should wick outwards and be even. Watering is a very important thing to do, try sticking your finger 4-5 inches in, in a couple spots when unsure. You will be able to tell if it needs more water this way-- Imagine roots are 1-3" down so you want to keep the soil moist but not too wet further down. Letting the top soil dry out is good, but letting the rest dry out can cause issues. After a while you can tell when it is time to water by pushing the bucket with your foot or picking up a little on it to feel the weight. I hope this helps!!
Here is a good thread on the subject https://rollitup.org/t/plant-moisture-stress-symptoms-and-solutions.150004/
