Lots of grow this week. Running into what I believe are some deficiencies(see photos for reference) I got some ph strips/adjuster as well as a bloom nutrient I will probably be using asap. Hope she can make a recovery, affected leaves are mostly towards the bottom with 1 or 2 in the middle, the top and all new growth look healthy.
I think you've got a bit of nute burn, mate... Although you don't indicate you're giving any nutrients at the moment, it looks like you've got some nitrogen toxicity - are you growing in too hot a soil? Personally, I would do a flush and run some bloom nutes through with the last gallon of water... Depending on what nutes you're using, the bloom nutes should contain just a touch of nitrogen but not a whole lot which would be ideal, imho....
From experience, I'm going to tell you that you can't rely on those PH strips... it's nigh on to impossible to get any sort of accurate reading when you're trying to match the color with some chart that has been printed... My most urgent advice for you is to invest in a PH pen as it's the single most important tool you can have for any grow - I like Apera although many folks use Blue Lab. I used to use the strips and finally got myself a PH pen and wish I had spent the money WAY earlier - would have saved me time, money, nute deficiencies (if the PH isn't right, your plant is not going to absorb the nutes you provide)... you'll avoid problems to begin with and be able to resolve them far easier if they ever crop up!
Good luck! And DO invest in a pen!
Just to clarify, this is grown in pro mix organic veg and herb(definitely be using something better next time, though it has grown decently). So far I've only fed her un pH'd tap water, and a molasses foliar spray. I got a crappy pH droplet test kit and from what I see I believe my water is about 7(which is what I've read on Google) I'll definitely need to get a good pH pen and dial that in, just glad to be growing and learning at this point as I've invested maybe 100 bucks to get this going, more of a trial run than anything because these seeds are so old and I germinated them on a whim. I have a bloom 1-4-7 nutrient I'll be giving it at some point soon, probably once I get some pH down.
