73 -75 58 percent humidity... I took them out happy frog soil with a washing the roots with water until they were clean and popped them into some super soil .. The baby ones only the autos I left them in their pots with happy frog I can’t stunt them .. Hopefully the super soil works good .. I didn’t water it so the roots can dry up from all the water they just got ...
 
Mix epsom salt in a 1 tsp per gallon ratio with some kelp extract and give them a good spray under their leaves and watch for the response. There is problem with mag for sure and very probably potassium too. It looks deficient but also a little overwatered but with your regimen it shouldn’t be. So maybe chronic underwatering. It really isn’t such a big deal with peat and with smart pots. I try to keep them moist always. Does the burned leaves get direct airflow from a fan?

No my fan runs over canopy and another one faces the wall and bounces air at their level ... I don’t have any of the kelp extract how can I make it ???

I’ve been adding a 1-2 Ml of cal mag with MEGACROP since I’m using distilled water

How much mega crop is going in per litre? Epsom is cheap. Its sulphur and magnesium. Kelp extract is sold everywhere. I use biobizz alg-a-mic and recently it helped me get thru a serious burn caused hot medium.

Nutrient burn.

You're adding nutrients on a schedule. That's what you do in a hydroponics grow, not a soil grow.

That's why the same thing is happening to you every time: you're doing the same thing: adding to much nutrients too often.

On the last two harvest I was having these issues before I would even feed them .. I’ve been doing a process of elimination.. I figured that was the best way to figure out the issue .. I was doing a urb soak for 15 minutes then putting them in paper towel.. I since stopped that crap and they lined out a little bit now they are starting to do it again . Im buying a new bottle of ph up to see if maybe it’s contaminated or bad , That’s the only thing I haven’t bought new .. I can figure it’s either the cal mag im adding to the water is too much at 1.5 Ml with the megacrop...

It’s been doing it before the feeding .. It will start on second node , which I don’t start feeding till they are on 4th or 5th node and than I give them a 1/2 a gram
 
Happy Frog is EXTREMELY nutrient rich. You don't need to add anything for around 4 to 5 weeks. It's very similar to Miracle Grow potting soil in that regard.

You may see a bit of tip burn early on, but the plant will grow through it. You're not giving it that opportunity. You're seeing the start of a bit of burn, hurling more nutrients at it and making it worse.
 
Check out growers recharge.

Its just a bunch of microbs for your soil. Your plants will look healthier than ever in like 48 hours.

I used this stuff when I was first starting out and it works wonders.

You will stilll need to get your feeding dialed in because the micobs basicallly just gives your pllant what it need and blocks out the extra so it will just get trapped in your soil. Super friendly for newer growers though.

Is there something wrong with the tap water? If you are worried about chlorine effecting the beneficial microbes you can see from your water authority source the annual ppm of chlorine. My area has 4ppm chlorine. Anything below 5 ppm should have no adverse effect on the microbes. Can you get a picture of the plants from further away so we can see the whole plants, maybe a couple of shots.

I didn’t start to feed until I noticed the leaves starting to get pale with dark green veins .. I was using water by itself for about 3 weeks that’s when I started giving it a little at a time .. I am now in week 4 and 1/2 and this started to happen to it .. The last grow it started as soon as it came out the soil it doesn’t make the leaves brown they turn a mushy with a black color .. As far as the water I’m not sure if it’s bad I’m just trying to figure out what was doing it , is why I switched to distilled water .. Kinda like process of elimination. The way those bottom leaves are in the pics is how all the old fan leaves look all the way to the top over time .. This is the only time that it started a little later than the others .. I have quit the urb and the faucet water .. As far as pics go I can get some whenever I get home I’m at work right now.. These two pics are from some seedlings that I trashed because they started with the same symptoms early this is just straight tap water
