Possible Deficiency?

Strain: Banana Split Hybrid
Soil: FoxFarms Ocean Forest
Light: MarsHydro TS 600w

I have had this clone for a little over a week now and I had recently supercropped it to try and get it to bush out. I just went to check on it right now and there is yellowing tips on the old leaves that came on the clone when I bought it from the dispensary. It has new growth on top and there's yellow dots on it as well. I'm not sure what this could be?

Looks like the very beginning of a calcium deficiency. What water are you using? If it's distilled or RO then you need to add calmag.

Yeah it's distilled, I didn't know I HAD to add cal/mag to every watering. Thank you for your help, should I wait till next watering or water it now, its been 2 days since last water? It's a 7gal fabric pot

Yeah wait for the pot to be light, we don't want to start up a case of root rot trying to fix the calcium deficiency.

Anytime you use RO or distilled H2O you should add calmag.

Thank you, Yeah everything I read about growing and countless videos I watched didn't say that I thought it was the start to nitrogen deficiency. Thank you you saved lots of time and stress

Did you flush your plant with pH’d water to get to ground one and rid the plant of whatever they laced it with? Why are you not using regular old tap water?

I'm using tap water that I have dechlorinated, my water is pH to 6.5, and yeah the only things I've been giving it is pH 6.5 water and cal/mag I've only had to water twice so far since I've had it, but I didn't know I had to use cal/mag every time.

You sure you’re jus feeding regular water and calmag cuz it looks like nute burn on the tips?? All in fairness it’s a nice plant

Yeah the first day I brought it home It had minor nute burn but today almost 1 1/2 weeks later it's yellowing tips, and my last feed I haven't used calmag. And it wasn't a problem with the nutes already in the soil the first almost two weeks I've had it, and I've only used water and calmag but my last two waterings now that I think about it I didn't use it. The picture below is the first day I brought it home and put it in a pot and it already had minor nute burn but since then I've only used pH 6.5 dechlorinated water.

You don’t have a problem. Flush with twice twice the size of smart pot with ph’d tap water and let dry completely before you start a new Nute cycle at half the ppm for first feeding. Then full board from there. Make sure you remove the affected leave as you go. In a week you’ll be fine. Most problems start with pH issues first. Nice looking plant

Just keep in mind, you have a small plant in a big pot. Are you feeding the entire pot or just around the plant?

I'm just watering around the plant, until it's gets big enough I can assume where the roots are, when I transfered it was a decent ball of roots, like as big as a grapefruit or softball maybe a little bigger.

As long as you don’t have bugs, you have no problem. I’ll bet it it’s transplant shock. I got a Colombian Red clone in terrible shape in February, nursed her back to health for two and a half weeks and flowered her. She’s in week 7 now here’s before and after pics. This is in a 3 gallon smart pot in coco. Wait a week. Good luck

Yea what I used to do when I had a small plant is feed out of a 8oz cup every other day never ha overwatering problems but you’re plant looks better than most problematic plants I seen @Mr-Beans and youre plant did do a good recovery for flowering @Wangdoodler

I came to a conclusion a while back that if you inherit a problem no one knows or cares to know about once they hand it over, so I’m better off starting from the beginning instead of trying to solve a problem to create more problems and then lock out nutes. This way it’s my problem
