Yeah sorry I'm very new. I have a blurple 400 true watts and what 60 true watts light. For nutrients I've been giving it an organic manure based fertilizer and my soil is part mushroom compost and bag of soil I picked up at a farmers market which I know wasn't the best choice now.

Medium and fertilizer, or pH is the problem. But I can't really help really based off the information given.
So hopefully this calmag solution I ordered will help

Give her some Mag Sulfate in watering - Add some fish shit ( fish hydrolysate ) to green her up.
Ok sounds good

That plant needs more than just some Epsom salt and fish hydrolysate. It might help though.
I was just thinking about it and it's probably the pH I have just been using ny tap water which usually has a pH around 7 so I need something to lower that.

Fish hydrolysate will give a nitrogen boost faster than compost /manure. Those ingredients take time to break down .
Im betting it’s that medium you are using , “ some soil from a farmers market “ . What’s in it or what’s not in it like ph buffers , additional Nutes etc.
IMO it looks like nute deficient soil. Plant not up taking any useful elements ( you never stated a separate fertilizer for it either ).
Tap water is fine ( adjust to 6.5 ) easy with ph down or citric acid .
A good simple 3-3-3 / 4-4-4 dry fertilizer will feed a lot better add to this soil.
Even a bagged Tomato fertilizer will work too.

I've been using bucky bloom fertilizer which is 2.6% nitrogen 1.4% phosphate and 0.59% soluble potash. But yeah I'll have to buy some pH down and fish hydro lysate. I ordered sensi cal mag extra that should be here by the end of the week can I mix a measurement of both that and the fish fertilizer in my water to feed?

I would mix up one good feed … ph it properly , feed it , watch it.
Is that soil heavily compacted or does it have any perlite in it ?

Sadly it's quite compacted is there anyway to loosen it to add some perlite without damaging the roots?
