Im 6 weeks into vegging and I cant really lay a finger on what the real problem is, but it may either be a ph deficiency or nute burn? Ph levels are 6.5, although when i check the run off water from the pot, its at 6.0. I stopped feeding it nutes because the tips began to yellow. This stopped, but now the leaves are beginning to dry up and crack.

the upper part of the plant looks ok just the lower so maybe u did have a nute problem but now everything is ok.. ? just trim the lower affected branches off and see how it goes, keeping the nutes being fed really low!

ok so i trimmed all the leaves that where drying out, i also misted the leaves with 6.5-6.8 ph'd water. from now on i will make sure the water is 6.5-6.8 ph level only, and i will start giving it 1/4 nutes next watering which is thursday, i water monday and thursdays but only feed on thursdays. this is my new schedule, hopefully she will come back strong.

Hopefully the tap water wont cause a nute lockout and get a build up of salts

Are you using tap water? and if so and if you do not have any acess to distilled water or a reverse osmosis filter put your water in an aquarium and let it sit for 24 hours so the chlorine will evaporate away then ph to about 5.4 to 6 using ph up or down use a compost tea try pure blend pro and sea if she comes back

i hav ph base and acid to raise ph levels up and down. can i use these or is the compost tea recommended? also, is 5.4 to 6.0 a little low? i tested the run off water after letting the water drain from the pot and the ph level was 6.0....

never use water straight out of tap put into a barrel with a bubbler and don't use for 24 hours that will get the chlorine out chlorine counteracts most commercial nutes and can lock the plant period!
