Plant health - need advise

[johnb1963]

Hello me friends, as you know this is my 1st indoor. this plant are 46 days old, and still on the 18/6 light schedule. I watered last night, right when the light go on, plain water ph 6.48, and this morning at 4am, light on for 10 hours, I have some clawing on some leaves, more on one of the plants than the other. I have been feeding them just once a week, with fox farms big grow, feeding schedule calls for 3tsp per gal., I have only used 2 tsp per gal., I don't think its nute b urn, but i'm a rookie, so what do I know. what do you guys think?

I see a bit of burnt tips. So yes, it’s possible. It’s also possible that the clawing is from your watering practices. Do you allow the medium to go through a dry cycle before watering again?

hello my friends, yes, I do let it get dry. I'm starting to think i'm underwatering. i'm using 70% soil(ffof) with 30% perlite, in 3 gal fabric pots. it seems like on the 2nd day, it's bone dry. A read a post on here some time back, where the person said they water twice a day, and had beautiful photos. later in the after i took those pics, the tops of the plants were all limp and droopy. I gave them a liter of plain water, and they are looking better this morning. do you think the plants are too big for a 3 gal pot?

I dont use FFOF but some say it is to hot for young plants,,,,

BTW on small pots just pick them up, if they are light it's time for water.

Watering twice per day is too much for soil. Water, let dry, then water again.

same setup I use. You have to really water slowly until the pot fills with roots. Your plants aren't to big . I can go three days and on the fourth she's ready for h2o. Also I found half of what the fox farm chart for tiger and grow big is adequate. The rest like kelp or mackerel I follow chart.

looks like you need to ease up on your nitrogen...worth skipping a feed and just doing a flush
