Hey folks, a clone I took 3 weeks ago has run into some issues, wilting, yellowing leaves, purple stems, I started it in coco/ perlite, it was doing reasonably ok, it’s still under CFL 5700k x 25w x4, I tried more light by turning on the 300W led light, it worsened, I tried less watering/feeding and no change, then straight ph adjusted watering only, today I swapped her into a larger pot 5 litre and changed into organic soil, the roots looked good, my theory was not enough nitrogen even though she was getting 1/4 strength nutes once she became rooted/ established, hopefully the soil will carry her through to health, photo attached, open to suggestions, many thanks.

How long do you go between all these changes you're doing? Seems like you're doing a lot, with a new or young plant, in a short period of time. Has this plant looked like this for three weeks?

New growth looks fine. Be patient.

I hope so, although the image sure makes it look better than it really is.
Personally, I'd take all that lower growth outa there. Everything below the third node down goes. Then sit on her a few days.

Baby got back, jeez she’s a fighter, is loving the DWC, slight tip burn, but going great, ppm dropping slowly, ph rising slowly, too early to claim success, however I’m confident.

You'll love dwc growing mate. Easy as it gets. Just watch your ppm. If the tips burn or the leaves start clawing down at the ends then back off a bit. Looks sweet though man.should be onto a winner now

Depends how much damage is done mate, they don't recover if it's too far gone. You planning on any training techniques? Best way to deal with height issues like. LST is the most common way. Just tie her main top down and make her grow horizontally. When the smaller colas get to the same height tie the down too. Easy to do and massively increases your yield.
If you tie her down to keep all the colas at an even height then they all get a fair share of the light and end up half to 3 quarters the size the original main would have been. Gives you an army of monster colas instead of one big one and a dozen runts.

LST started today with some small sinkers, thanks for the good advice.Depends how much damage is done mate, they don't recover if it's too far gone. You planning on any training techniques?
