Looks like maybe you've been under watering? Do you soak the entire medium when you water? How often do you water?

What are you using for soil? Do you have anything mixed in?

I would pick up some worm castings, kelp meal, compost and mix that into the first few inches of soil.

Id say you're under watering a little. In a smart pot I would do a gallon of water every few days.

The Mexican guano will give you the nitrogen you need in veg. Along with some calcium and humates. You can mix it into water (1 tbsp per gallon) and apply it as a root drench... I would apply every other watering.

The Jamaican guano having lots of phosphorus and calcium. It's great for when you first transplant, and your last week of veg before you switch to flower. Along with your first four weeks of flower.

Now the morbloom...while a pretty cool product from Alaska...is not organic and I would not recommend it. Your bat guano is gonna add some nice microbial life to your soil. The morbloom is just gonna kill it off. It does give you potassium. But since it's giving you phosphorus too...you'll wanna skip the Jamaican guano so you don't burn your plants. But remember the morbloom is only giving you phosphorus and potassium...while the Jamaican guano is giving you Phosphorus, calcium, humates, trace minerals...so if you can only choose one...

All that aside, your plant is missing out on a proper source of all around readily available nutrients. Worm castings, compost, kelp meal, neem seed meal. I would top dress with all those things.

Ty so much I will get some tomorrow but I was told morbloom is organic that's why I got it. What would u recommend I use in it place. I will get the worm casting, kelp, and seed meal tomorrow for top dress. And I'll continue with the guano but what's a good source of potassium

Alaska fish fertilizer (5-1-1) is certified organic, morbloom is not. But it's not the worst synthetic fert on the market...it's just not a very complete fertilizer, and it lowers the effectiveness of your others by compromising your soil health.

The kelp meal, neem meal, and worm castings (any brand but wiggle worm), along with the molasses in your teas will provide you with the potassium you need.

Tea recipes// 1 tbsp per gallon for each ingredient since you're on a small scale, except castings

For veg:

Worm castings (1/4 cup per gallon)
Molasses
Mexican bat guano
Kelp meal

Late veg/early flower

Worm castings (1/4 cup)
Molasses
Mexican guano
Jamaican guano
Kelp

Flower weeks 3-5

Castings (1/4 cup)
Jamaican guano
Molasses
Kelp meal

Tea for transplant recovery/growth hormones

Alfalfa meal
Kelp meal

Aerate or steep each or twenty four hours before applying

Yeah the pump helps bullet proof the process but you can make it work without it.

Steep for 24 hours. Vigorously stir as much as possible in that 24 hour period. Once an hour would be great...but hey you gotta sleep lol. If you can only do it a handful of times in the period it's cool. Just don't steep for more than 48 hours or you risk the tea going anaerobic. The tea should smell earthy when you apply it. If it smells rank then it went anaerobic and you're gonna wanna throw it out.
