4/20/21 (Day V43):
First day of week 7. Smallest plants you've ever seen for week 7, but I finally got the light distance + strength dialed in just right after lots of research and learned how to use this LED jazz. Plants have lots of fresh growth now and hit a big milestone today: 100% of the light-burned leaves has now been replaced with new leaves. I cut off all the old crinkly burned leaves and now the fresh ones are putting in much more work.
So the story goes:
-Week 5 I finally identified the issue: light stress, which had stunted growth completely for weeks.
-By the end of week 5 I had the light dialed in and was waiting for plants to recover.
-By the end of week 6, every light-burned leaf had been replaced with fresh growth.
-Now, starting week 7 with lots of new leaves, and all topped at least once, the plants are finally on track to do some real growing.
Don't think they should be deficient in anything yet, they're in new Ocean Forest soil and only on day 11 of veg, no way they used up what's in the soil yet.
More details in my grow diary comment.
This is damage caused by the leaves hitting either the edge of the pot or the soil surface when the fan blows on them and generally at night when the leaves are lowered. Nothing much to be concerned over.
Filling your pots right up to the top would give more room for root growth.
Hope this helps,..............

I agree, looks like mag. Be careful when removing leaves as if the deficiency is not corrected she will start taking nutrients from another leaf. Causing more damage to the plant. I'd leave them on for a a little longer in future. You can cut the dead bits off without issue, if you like.
Hope this helps 🙂
@SegaYGriega, aw thank you! They've come a long way since I fried and stunted them in the early weeks while figuring out the LED light strength and proper distance 😄 now they're cruising 😎
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
