So I usually do 3 days cycles 1 week feeds and aim for 6.1 _6.2 ph around 1200-1400 ppm for feeds and in-between nutes I jus do filters water no cal mag I only use calmag when I use nutes and it seems to balance pretty well if there not stunted

Iām confused with the first part. 3 days cycle and 1 week feed ?

So every 3 days they either get water or food so you feed once a week w nutes then wait 2full days and on the 3 morning do jus filters water then wait another 3 days and you should be able to do nutes again some people do 3 days some people donāt do 2 if that makes sense

Thatās for veg
I hope I explained it better
So feed once a week and water on every 3 days weāll try to
I feed every other day or should I say I water every other day and add feed two of those days. No no thatās not it ā¦ shit,OK I think I figured out how to put it in words. 
I do it in a six day cycle. Feed skip a day feed skip a day water skip a day repeatā¦ it just depends on how heavy you feed I guess or should I say water. Whatever

Appears to be an overwatering issue to the eye. All the nasty yellow leaves on the bottom of rip off there as they r doing no good right now anyways but other than Iād leave the pot set until it feel air light to lift the pot. Or unless u see it pick up and start to drop again from being thirsty but after itās all dried up and good Iād get good feed to it and water it super slow as to saturate all the soil and water until u get about 20% runoff out the bottom of the pot. Let so much drip off pot then catch some to get the reading of the runoff. This will tell if itās a lockout or if it is the way it looks and a water issue.

What will indicate lockout ?

Iāve had a Calcium excess recently. This can also cause a difficult nutrient uptake. So Iād definitely follow @TheMadFlascher advise and see what happens.

For sure, I went hard with the cla mag right off the bat so that would definitely make sense. Gave em a nice feed yesterday so we will see what happens. Hoping I can salvage them.

I made a separate thread posing this question but Iāll try asking it here. If I Transplant from my solo cups or 1 gallons into hot soil should I water them at time of transplanting? Also does the soil contain enough nutes to sustain plants at that age for a period of time or am I okay to start feeding at the point ?

Always water your transplants in. But the smaller the plant the higher the risk of burning them with too strong nutes. If the soil is hot and your transplants are small put some non-hot soil and mix it in to the hot soil and dilute it. Much easier to up nutes than to get rid of too much. Small plants donāt require much, and as they start growing they are mostly making more roots than tops. As they make those roots they are filling soil that has a good amount of nutes for them to use. As the pot fills with roots thatās when you need to start feeding (unless you are using a slow release organic soil).

FWIW most newer growers have real problems with ātoo much loveā. Small seedlings have VERY LITTLE need for fertilizerā¦Marty is absolutely right (damn I hate to admit that!). Once your plants are established with 6-8 sets of leaves some weak fertilizer MAY be required, but if they are growing well and the color is fair itās probably safe to say LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE!

Itās crazy my first grow came out amazing didnāt babe a singe issue through out the grow. Everyone grow since Iāve struggled to keep them healthy. So Iāve been really trying to do my research so I can get to a point of having healthy grows from beginning to end. But there is so kuch information out there. This community is awesome though and I get to see your guys results so I can trust your input more than some random article online. I appreciate all the input from you guys. Glad to be apart of this community !
