Deficiency or Toxicity - You Decide
Finally swallowed my pride, and here I am.
As a qualifier, there are many variables at hand. It’s my first grow in a tent, first at this location, first use of this water source, first time with Jack’s 3-2-1, first RO filter, first quantum boards, first with Recharge, first with these genetics, first mainline training, first with sonoffs, first with Blumats, and probably a few more firsts that I forgot. The only things that are not firsts are my use of coco and my previous experience in growing cannabis.
FML. This what makes it fun, right, the experiments?
However, I cannot deny that the problems with my plants are concerning and I would like to fix them (if possible) this round or next. Not knowing the source of the problem, definitively, I don’t even know if I should call this a deficiency or toxicity problem. Maybe neither or a combination? IDK.
Here’s what I do know from observation:
Plants in my care exhibit a number of different issues that I believe are nutrient related, such as interveinal yellowing, curling leaf tips that eventually brown and die-off, and a strange split-leaf effect that seems to only happen in very early vegetative growth. All the other problems manifest throughout the grow cycle.

Split leaf mutation.
And that’s about all I know, for sure.
If anyone has an idea about what this could be, PLEASE let me know!
I don’t care how bad I fucked up, this is a learning process and I want my next run to be even better… ad infinitum. Tell me what it could be and suggest solutions. I want all the knowledge!
Things I think could be related: toxicity, deficiency, pathogen, distance from quantum boards, or even nutrient uptake issue from thorough and repeated bacterial and fungal inoculation. It could be more than one issue, too. I feel so lost.
