Newb sponsored grow with deficiencies and possible pests eating plants?

[Smokeonsmoke]

Cherries west is wilting and yellowing lots and the chem 91 looks like something is eating it but I can never find anything

Sponsored genetics so I am trying to hold my end of the bargain up and deliver the best tester shots and content I can

They have only been feed nutes 5-7 times in the whole 40-50 days they have been alive . Sunshine mix 4 soil. General hydroponics 3 way nutes. Under a mars hydro fce 300 at about 60 % power. 3x3 tent ️

Hello @Smokeonsmoke welcome to 420magazine my friend.
Unless you are running living organic soil you must feed your lady.
Soil requires being fed then let dry then ph6.3 water then let dry, then fed again at 6.3 then dry then water......etc.
Feed her and she will bounce back.
Stay safe.

Ditto on what Bill said…. Sunshine mix doesn’t have nutes.

Never ran GH so while I recognize the name… not familiar with their products… anyway most weed nutes are 2 part or 3 part and gives NPK which obviously the plants need, however weed also needs calcium & magnesium and typically cal-Mag is not included with most base nutes. Cal-Mag is vital but with many nutes its considered as an add-on (but they don’t tell ya) and requires purchasing an a separate cal-Mag product…. So check your GH labels to see if cal-Mag is included. If it’s not included then suggest you get some pretty soon.

Everytime you mix your nutes run the water and add cal-Mag first. Stir & wait 15 minutes, add NPK stir & wait. Check ph and adjust to 6.3 then feed right away. This prevents cal-Mag from dropping out of the mix…

leaf munchers are often well camouflaged and / or hidden on leaf undersides… could be anything from cricket to a mouse since they all love fresh greens.

welcome aboard Smoke…..

Greetings @Smokeonsmoke and welcome to the forum!

I see multiple deficiencies on your plants, from Iron at the top to magnesium and even what might be a lack of nitrogen. You are either feeding too lightly and/or you are not adjusting your pH correctly to have so many problems presenting themselves all at the same time. I also would like to check that you are using a feed/water/feed/water strategy in how you are applying your nutes since you say you have only fed 5-7 times.

Then, we see actual physical leaf damage. This 99% of the time indicates bugs. You need to address that problem immediately, before it gets out of hand.

Before you start throwing more supplements at this, lets try to establish a baseline as to what nutes are needed. Done correctly, your 3 part GH can do a good job. I know its popular advice to suggest calmag, but too much magnesium can also cause trouble so I recommend only using it when everything else has been proven to be working, and the need is simply an overly hungry plant, very common in these days of focused LED light and the use of RO water in our gardens. Magnesium is oftentimes the only deficiency a grower might see, in an otherwise totally healthy grow. Your symptoms don't just point to Magnesium, they point to a much wider problem.

Next time too, please let us see the damaged leaves still attached to the plant. The positioning of the deficiencies in the top, middle or bottom of the the plant, also provides vital clues as to what is going on.

Thank you for the kind welcome and wise words will try the feed /water method and thank you again

@Smokeonsmoke Welcome to the 420Magazine family！You can see if you can easily remove the leaves. If it can be easily picked, it is a lack of nitrogen. Otherwise, the light is too close and burns the leaves. FC-E3000 in seeding stage we recommend 16-24'' height, dimming 50-70%. If the light burns the plant, add a fan on top of the plant; move the grow light further away from the top of the plant. Hope my suggestion can help you solve the problem.​
