5 week old plant looking depressed : the never ending story of time release nutes!

[GreenShine]

Growlab 80 tent
300w LED GN MS006 ( 60cm from plant)
Exhaust fan (also work as passive intake)
2 Circulation fans

Strain: CBD crew SHARK

Seed planted in 1L air-pot with light soil (seedling and cactus soil). where it has been vegging for 3 weeks. 2 weeks worth of ferts in soil, added Plagron Alga Grow to the water for the third week before repotting into to 6L Air-pot. Everything was fine so far.

Soil in 6L Air-pot : Plagron Royalmix

Water: tapwater (EC 0.17 /PH 6-0-6.5) aired for at least 48 hours and added Plagron Lemon Kick to get PH level right. Water whenever PH soil meter is hitting the red marker.

Nutes : No nutes added according to info from Plagron regarding the soil in use. (Soil already got 6 weeks worth of time release nutes)

Temps : day 29-31C night : 24-26C
Humidity: 40-42%
Lights on/off 18/6

first week in the repotted royalmix soil (week 4) everything was hunky dory, The plant seemed to love it and grew like expected. The second week (week 5) things started go downhill and this is how the plant looks now. I have no idea what to do really so any feedbeck would be most welcome!

Pictures attached below for your evaluation.

They look fine to me bro with a lovely healthy green,maybe an over or under water issue that's making them droop slightly.

Maybe just a little transplant shock. Other than that they do look good. Watch her, but I'd see how it goes before gettin too worried.

Well compared to last week she looks like she went from girl in her 20's to being ready to move into a retirement home Still a bit worried about the old hag look over such a short time.

 

[Wait what?]

Are those fans blowing directly on her? That can stress her.

It looks like the top leaves are cupping a bit and the tips look a little burnt. That would indicate overfeeding. That soil mix may be a bit too hot for autos since it does contain high amounts of organic amendments. They aren't actually time release, but blood meal in particular takes awhile to break down and become available to the plant. I would keep an eye on it for now but if the cupping continues, along with the burnt tips, you might have to give it a good flush to leach some of the excess nutrients out of the soil. Also, do you know your soil pH or the pH of your run off? I see Plagron says that the pH of that mix is between 5.9 and 6.2. If yours is on the low side you may need to raise it up a bit.

would say transplant shock or underwatering such small airpots need lot of watering timewise not masswise.

They are blowing on low setting below her and upward into the plant. So technically they are blowing directly at the plant. I have tried not having it this setup and it didn't do any difference in regards of recovery. But I might aswell try it again.

The strain I grow atm is not auto. In regards to runoff PH, I Gonna check it out to see what readings I get an try to adjust accordingly, thanks for the tip.

It was perfectly fine the first week, but started to go downhill the second week. First week I watered about 1L of water every 2nd days. Now I have started doing it once every 24h, cause the soil dry out really quick.
