Could be ph, could be a bit over feed with what you added on day 11 depending what was already in the medium as others said. Plant as a whole looks a little light colored and with the tips yellowing, what's your par/ppfd reading? I see you are running 20 hrs of light and if you are following a manufacturer recommendation on hanging height, that is set for 18hrs. The length of time the light is on is not as important as the amount it is getting (DLI) . However some run 24 hrs of light, but plants need rest too so I wouldnt run 24/0. 18/6 is optimal if you have the correct DLI, and will save energy on the power bill. The spacing looks a little stacked, but not bad, so I wonder about too much light as well as ph or over feed. Just my thoughts, Best of luck! Happy Growing!

more than one thing causes that, so you'll have to let it progress to better diagnose if you don't have familiarity with your formula/methods.

Yeah ph I'd kinda important I only use a liquid type test kit as the pens do my head in calibration every other day is a joke so get yourself 1 of those I use vitalink and it's cheap.. other than that it's hard to say but the plant is telling me she just wants water next few feeds and observe... Hope this helps and good luck..

My grow environment is all over the place. Having a hard time keeping the humidity consistent. I will get anywhere from 30%-80% and that is the same with my temps as well. Anytime I water the temp will jump up to 80-90 degrees I did feed it some fox farm grow big at day 11 and I added 1 teaspoon to a gallon of water. After watering, a couple days later I started to get yellow tips but we are also getting temps in the negative and the tent is in an unheated garage

With cloth pots is it typical that you would need to water every other day? When watering I also feel like its going straight through the cloth and not retaining any water which I am guessing is the purpose of cloth pots but it makes it hard to go more then a day without watering

CEC is important for understanding how to irrigate different soils. Soils with low CEC need frequent, short irrigation, while soils with high CEC need less frequent, longer irrigation. Organic matter has a very high CEC ranging from 250 to 400 meq/100 g. Because a higher CEC usually indicates more clay and organic matter is present in the soil, high CEC soils generally have greater water holding capacity than low CEC soils. Coco is around on average 80-100meq/100g Vermiculite or waterbeads for a simple solutions. Charged Biochar for the nuclear option. But do your homework if you do. Use biochar to increase water-holding capacity, prevent nutrient losses from fertilizers, and provide structure for the build-up of beneficial soil microorganisms. Again make sure to do homework before using tho as it can drastically alter ph if not charged prior to use. Good luck.

A few factors at play with your watering frequency. Type of substrate and it's consistency play a role. Environment matters, aka a dry environment increases evaporation. The size and demands of the plant matter too. As others have said, watering in more slowly helps with escape from the sides. If growing in coco, increasing watering frequency helps too. Coco absorbs and moves water better when it's still wet and becomes hydrophobic if it dries too much.
