Some leaves have clawing tips others look kinda puffy and the leaves at the bottom are turnin purple and yellow along with stems turning yellow aswell

If anyone knows a solution please help !

Pay careful attention to mites. Try turning your plant upside down and examine them with a magnifying glass to see if you have any cooties. They seem to like to start on the bottom leaves and work their way up.

My personal opinion is that your plants are too small to give them 20-20-20. It would be like giving a child a shot of vodka. B-1 with your watering is probably enough. Again this is only my personal opinion but I would lay off the fertilizer until they are about 3-4 inches taller then they are now, then try some 10-52-10 at half dosage. Once they are well into veg and have lots of heads, then move up to 20-20-20. My personal recipe during veg is room temperature water in a 2 gallon watering can, two teaspoons of 20-20-20, teaspoon of epson salts, a teaspoon of unsulfered molasses and a cap full of hydrogen peroxide. Don't forget to adjust your PH to 5.8 - 6.2. don't use tap water if your on town or city water supply with chlorine. Hope this helps

So feed 10-52-10 when there in veg? Why so much phosphorus? Isn't that for bloom or am I mistaken? I have 5-50-17 but where would I be able to find some 10-52-10? And that sounds like a good recipe I've been trying to get my hands on some Epsom salts and ohh I've been puting my ph at 6.5 ... Maybe I should lower it?

I got this info quite sometime ago from our local hydroshop. The girl there has a degree in horticulture or one of those botanic degrees, she has abbreviations after her name anyways. Her family also owns a nursery with a huge store and acres and acres of plants, shrubs, flowers etc. The fertilizer that I use is quite inexpensive, it's Plant Prod Ultimate 10-52-10 and a 2 lb container costs about $ 12. This is what the back of the container reads: This is a premium product designed for the transplant of seedlings and cuttings that enables fast nutrient uptake through the roots for a strong root system necessary for good healthy growth. Apply when transplanting and up to 1 month thereafter.
There are so many opinions out there and way too much variable info if you ask me. Find something that works for you and stick to it. Where I grow and where you grow are two totally different things, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, oxygen and co2 levels etc. I hope this helps.
