Plant problems help

Ok so I'm growing in fox farms ocean Forrest soil I've been just water with plain ph'd water. I started to notice a lil burn mark in one of my leafs and some of the other plants had them too it kinda looked like nute burn but haven't used any nutes yet.

I'm not an expert but to me it looks underwatered. The top just looks very dry and it looks like ur using air pots right? How much are you watering and how often?

I've also heard fox farms can come with hot soil. Just some things I've seen on here I personally use happy frog

Nah just my ph'd water that I feed with I have used ocean Forrest before that's why I ise air pots to keep it cool so I'm really confused never used happy frog but I have wanted to try it

Idk man all I can suggest is too me from the curled leaves one of two thing nitrogen prob but that's a long shot or a watering problem. Is the bottom of your pots dry or wet?

Hmm thought that nitro prob coulda been the cause maybe I'll trey a very light bite feeding my pots keep the bottom off the ground so it drys out

I think u should water a lil more often with it being air pots they dry out fast I'd also wait for some other opinions on here as well some ppl know a hell of lot more than I do. But from my guess I'd start with that its an easy fix and if nothing you can eliminate that prob and it would slightly help if it was nute burn or a nitrogen prob. Seems like a Win win to me.

Do you have an EC meter? Need to do a slurry test on your soil.
Ocean forest is generally "hot" for young plants, and indeed you can get a bad bag, I had a bag of happy frog that maxed out my EC meter,,,

Do you notice your stems being brittle?

Please check your EC of your soil. If you dont have a meter then flush to 20% run off to leach off excess salts.

I don't have one for the soil but I do have a flushing solution I'm getting Friday yeah I think your right though I got a bad bag. Some plants continue to burn when I water them

Same EC meter for soil dude.

What you want to do is take 30 ml of soil and 30 ml of water, mix and shake for 30 seconds then get a reading of the slurry.

I use 1:1 test and 1:2 as well to get a good idea. Just make sure you use equal amounts of soil and water for your "parts"

I got a bag of happy frog that was like 6 EC one time ha! Shit fried in 2 days lol...
