:smoking:niiiice! ...OK, I don't think I see any other signs of hot soil related tip burn, and shouldn't be with this blend, so I'd say Ronin called it,... My only other concern would be what the soil pH is at; Roots is a good brand usually, but
soils in general have been iffy for some time now, mostly Ocean Forest, but occasionally HF too; the pH in some of the bags I've tested have been in the low 5's!
Many folks have come here with early pH issues, and a disturbing number of them are
soil users,...others get okay bags
... the very best thing to get for testing fast, easy and accurately is a quality soil pH probe, like the Accurate 8 ->
hsoil: the long probe one here is the A8; forget the cheapie skinny probe models you see all over, they're lousy! Keeping the soil in the proper pH range will allow nutes to stay in absorbable forms for the plant; if it's get out of this range, some become unavailable and the plant starts to suffer deficiency issues and show symptoms of it... Monitoring the soil often, and pH adjusting your water (if needed) and nutes to the appropriate range goes a long way to prevention of such snafu's! I'll post a good chart here so you can see what I mean...
--- thickness of the bars represents relative availability at that pH,...
That said, it's time to start some dilute nutes! What do you have MM? Depending on the N-P-K#'s, a dilution point is made-- 1/4 strength, 1/2, etc.,... Starting off mild regardless is always wise! A variety of supplements are very helpful and effective... I recommend using a Silica supp', and humic/fulvic acid, soil microbe inoculants,.. you have seaweed already-
..Ca-Mg is often needed, molasses is a old garden friend too (Ca, Mg, some K, little Fe, plus sugars for the soil herd to spike-out on, which in turn benefits the plant)... Something like Superthrive or Jump Start are excellent for stimulating rooting, treating shock, (vitamins, good hormones),... Some products combine several of these together; Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus is a great multi-product, even has some micronutrients in it too!
--I know, the bottles can start to pile up! But most of these are key to preventing and/or fixing issue when they arise,... Your water source is very important too, what are you using? Key info for you on this: if it's tap/well sourced, is it's pH and hardness (mineral content, CaCO3 mainly)... A TDS or EC meter will tell you this,... it is at the core of pH management IMO! ...OK enough pontificating for now-
let us know about your nutes and any supp's you have, and we'll go from there,...
Oh-
I see you're growing for meds for your daughter,.. have you checked out the medical section? I betting you have, but I'd get in contact with Root and Eekman, Duggy too-- as fine o' soul's as you can meet! And our Queen of the Autoflowers, Aunty Mossy, is an encyclopedia of medical knowledge as well,... 








Oh-
