Leaves shriveling up and browning

[Tbiloski]

Hey everyone thanks or taking the time to help. First set of plants I’ve grown so trying to learn from mistakes. But I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

currently in week 8 from germination and it feels like the plants are stuck on week 4
there has been slow to no new growth and and new growth is immediately followed by the death of old growth.

i water with a ph of 6-6.5 every 2-3 days depending on the soil and have slow release nutrients that I put in the soil when I transplanted

the issues I’m having I’ve had since week 4 so I was hoping with the transplant and nutrition it would bounce back but sadly not

what’s happening is new nods will grown a beautiful lime green then darken start to close upward like a taco then shrivel up like silly string. This issue has popped up in the last 2 weeks where the mai. Problem was leaves turns brown and crisping. I looked all over and can’t seemto find a similar issue aside from underwatering. So I changed the frequency and amount of water to see if it made a difference and just seem to accelerate the issue. Can see the pics below. I’m pretty sure all these girls should be double there size to. Any input out help amazingly

to the forum...

Slow release fertilizers are not generally used with cannabis. I think your plant is locked up due to the build up of excess nutrients and salts in the root zone. I grow in coco/perlite, so I'd rather have a soil grower assist in fixing the problem. I'll point you to a few resources that can help...

You'll find lots of good information for soil growing in Emilya's current journal. Her paper, 'The Proper Way to Water a Potted Plant' is considered a must read for soil growing.

It was a soil, ph/ph pen, and light intensity issue. I have transplanted to coco flushed the plants for a week to let it use up what ever time release was left over and then top dressed with time release again. I replaced my ph pen out of curiosity and could put it was not able to be recalibrated and was almost 4 full points off. I also bought a new temp and HR monitor and increased the temperature to 80F and put them in a tent. As you can see from the pictures the girls are loving it!!! The grown is amazing and with LST I am back in track for a strong harvest. I’ll definitely be making a YouTube video for future reference.

pictures below first bunch are weeks 2-3 of recovery last two are week 4 of recovery

thanks for the advice much appreciated
