The brown color on the leaf can be caused by the light being so close that it caused the leaf to start showing signs of burning. But the light burn itself does not cause a deficiency even if it is the same color. That might be what is throwing you off.the deficiency came from light burn I had my lights to close
I am trying to build up a soil mix based on what other growers are using and am curious why you went with 66% Perlite for your blend....I used ocean forest soil 66% perlite...
From what I was reading ocean forest soil is really hot which cause some growers seedlings to burn. So they added lots of perlite to cool the soil and add plenty of airflowThe brown color on the leaf can be caused by the light being so close that it caused the leaf to start showing signs of burning.

Ocean Forest is hotter than happy frog, but the NPK of OF is .30%, .45%, .05%,. I plant seeds directly into OF, no issues. I do reccoment adding extra perlite, but I add about 15%, 66% is a LOT!From what I was reading ocean forest soil is really hot which cause some growers seedlings to burn.

Yeah, I didn’t notice that, you could read that either way. Just looking at the soil, I think you’re right! 34% perlite sounds like a decent mix.I read it as OF 66% and the rest perlite. (34%)
