XaXaXa On day 13 they recieved higher nutriens EC 1 PH 6.4 Topped 4 plants on day 17 On day 17 I gave them another too hot nutrients solution EC 1.8 PH 6.5 can see some problems (in my opinion its nuts burn due not me realizing that soil was already a bit pre-fertilized + pushing everything too far due to its my first grow I found out at day 17, when I saw first signs - sadly I topped them that day and I brought them a lot more stress 😒 Transplanted plants into final 15l pots on day 20 Right now they are getting RO water only, will feed on day 22 again with EC of 0,9 I will aim for 6.2 PH as well EDIT: couple of people confirmed nutrients burn, so since I transfered 1l pots into 15l fresh lighmix, I will not feed until day 26 - they will get only hydro roots with RO water EDIT2: Forgot to write info about my light schedule - running lights at 240W and right now I am hitting around 375 PPFD with 18hrs on - so that is around 24.3 DLI :) I am checking it with LUX meter and converting to PPFD - then DLI

You understand what happened here. They are too young to feed nutrients with an EC that high. Probably too early to top as well. It will take a couple of weeks to recover from these events. The plants is producing roots at the speed it produces foliage. You’ve set them back some. Be patient and don’t keep on tweaking. Just plain PH water for now.

You have probably started feeding nutes to early, the root stimulater is fine but grow and calmag a bit early as the soil should have enough in it for 1st few weeks.

Parecen un poco quemadas, las plantas tienen con poco nutrientes hasta que entren en la 4 semana se vegetacion o cuando entran en Floracion. Hasta ese punto no les tienes que abonar demasiado con un poco 1 vez a la semana es suficiente. Pero si son tan pequeñas ni las abones.

looks like bad watering habits. Make sure when you irrigate that you fully saturate a pot. If a pot stays wet too long from doing this simple act, it is either poorly constituted or the plant is too small for the pot - both self-inflicted problems. Wait for top 1/2-1" to dry in "soil" and repeat. If coco, when the top layer starts to change color, repeat. if soillesss, get 10% runoo minimum, otherwise just ensure full volume gets wet with a little runoff to conserve amendments. Keep on on the node spacing at the top. If you have had good watering habits, it might be drooppy from a tad too much DLI. This sort of borderline thing can takes weeks before you see the effects.
