Hello guys and gals! I am new to this forum (I actually just created an account to ask for help) and I am a pretty new grower also. I started growing about a year ago; since then I've done 3 auto-flowering plants, one at a time, with decent success, however the plant I'm seeking help on is my first photo-period grow. As a said I'm new so please bear with me I will try to make this as short and concise as possible.
Strain - "Purple Afghan Feminized" seeds from MSNL
Environment - a small grow tent with a 4" carbon filter and fan (I think the tent is ~2x2x4)
Medium - ~50/50 mix of Fox Farms brand Ocean Forest soil and Roots Organic brand soil in a 5 gallon fabric pot
Light - ViparSpectre brand 450w LED light
Water - I just use tapwater, pH it to ~6.5 using a pH meter (It usually takes 3 drops of pH down for plain water), and let it sit open for a few days before I use it. I water about every 4 days or when I stick my finger all the way in and it feels dry. I water until 10% runoff.
Veg time for this plant was ~6 weeks. At around 4 weeks I tried to fim it, fucked that up so I decided to just top it, and ended up topping it too far down the plant (I cut a good bit off ~2 or 3 "nodes" i guess); after this I just let it grow and continued to LST it the best I could and started flowering at ~6 weeks. As of typing this it has been in flower for 25 days, or almost 5 weeks. The plant is very packed with growth so the leaves that weren't getting much light started dying which I thought nothing of, however I watered it yesterday and noticed more yellowing leaves (That is the 1st couple pictures) and today I checked and even leaves that are getting light are turning yellow and brown(These are the pictures in the tent). I have tried to do some research but as I'm sure you know it's hard to tell who's full of shit and who's not and have seen everything from it's completely normal to it's nutrient deficient and everything in between. As I said this plant has only had plain water no nutrients but I do have some nutrients and Cal-Mag that I used on previous autoflower plants with negative results so I decided to try just plain water on this one and it seemed to be working until now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time!
