Ph good. No pests. Temp ok. What's wrong with this plant?

This plant has been weird since the start. Grew taller and faster. A leaf already totally died off it last week. And now it seems to be dieing further. The plant's are 22 days old. This is really the only one giving me issues. I water them around every 2-5 days so far depending on weight of the pot. (There's good drainage in the pots i usually dump what water drains into the tray) the ph is good as mentioned and it's in soil. The plant's are in a grow tent but the tents half open at all time's because my light's to powerful for it. And it gets to hot. Any input would help thanks

Here it goes again. Good luck!!
I went and looked at that chart before posting and i just can't pin point it myself. I would say it looks like it could be several thing's from it. I tried lookin at calcium defincies and i don't think that's it. Just at a stand still. Was hoping someone would see it who is familiar with the same problem
 
transplant to something much bigger. what soil are you using? are you adding ferts at all? you need to give more info. how hot in the tent?
They are in 10" pots. And after reading most the day I'm pretty certain its a Nitrogen difenency. So I'm gonna work on that. And remove this, oh and temps are like 28ish. Hard to keep it there tho my light's to much for a tent.
 
To be honest to me it looks like poor ventilation and underwatering with a bit of nitrogen defficiency? Usually it starts like that on the lower leaves of the plant and moves upwards as it advances, it kills the fan leaves slowly one by one turning them into yellow until they fall off....
 
Looks like a cal mag issue. The yellowing between the veins is a sign. Try just ph water for a couple days. Let it dry out and give it a light dose of cal mag. I'd dry it out repot it and water. If not resolved growtek makes a product that restores the lush green to plants. It's a little higher in the nitro and it should help it bounce back. Good luck.
 
So over the past few days ive gotten some cal mag and i also got distilled water and been using that as oppose to the tap and bottled i was using before. There's plenty of ventilation as they are in a tent and the tents wide open cuz the light's to powerful. If they are actually root bound isn't it strange that the other plants aren't displaying the same problems? Or is that just lucky they aren't? This was the biggest plant so i guess that would make sense. I'd prefer to not transfer at this point tho. I put the cal mag in 3 or 4 day's ago. At what point would i know if it's working? Im gonna pick up some more fertilizer soon as one is already budding. I posted a pic of that just to share.

When it's flowering its only normal for some flowers to get rid of some of the lower leaves and extract nitrogen mostly but also some micronutes from there to use it for the bud production. If it affects only the first layer of lower leaves don't worry to much, if it starts affecting the upper ones then you have a problem!
 
Ya just came home from work and in one day it's gotton noticeably worse. The top leafs are "dieing" at an alarming rate on this one plant. I feel like im watching it on it's death bed. From what my guess would be is it could be a potassium or manganese defect in late stages. But i added the cal mag a few day's ago. Should i add more? Anyone?

Flush, remix nuts, to start. Root pests? Looks very green, so I don't think it's nitrogen. Could be manganese excess or boron deficiency or iron deficiency. I don't think Cal-Mg will fix it. Also could be humidity too. I know it sounds weird, but the plant gets its nutrients via water, and if the water it already has is not evaporating from the plant itself, won't absorb new water with new nutrients for it to use. "water saturation"
