Any ideas on what issue I’m dealing with?

i will try to get to the point while including as much info as possible

it’s my first grow, week 4 veg, topped once and LST. Everything has been good so far besides a little soil trouble in the VERY beginning that led to slight nute burn, but they recovered. I just fed for the first time a few days ago 2 tsp fox farms Grow Big in a gallon of water (didn’t feed them the whole gallon but just included that so you know how diluted it was). I knew it was time to feed because I started seeing the bottom leaves turn yellow and wilt.

plants are doing great over all, they just started preflowering this week. they haven’t stopped growing so I don’t think they’re stunted, but this morning I woke up to some of my lower fan leaves turning brown and yellowing/ curling down. Any ideas? I’m not sure if I burned the leaves or if they need something.

grow info- 2x2x4 tent, 2 photoperiod plants (seeds unknown), RH: 60s, temp: 79-82, 600 watt Mars Hydro + 100 ish watt Blurple LED. Watering with filtered tap water. There’s ventilation w a fan + carbon filter. And I’m on an 18/6 light schedule. I also am waiting on a blue lab PH pen to arrive in the mail currently, so I don’t know my PH of the water or soil yet

I have my ph pen now but when i first started I was using this kit. it might help you. at the very least it gives you a general idea what you ph levels are and it comes with ph up and down.

Thank you! I woke up this morning and they look way worse. The soil was really dry so I needed to water them again this morning, even though I have no way to test the water going into the soil. I might just go pick up some litmus paper later on and test the water like that till my pen gets here. I’m really worried that I’m causing all kinds of imbalances in my plant right now because of an alkaline ph. Once I start watering her with the right stuff, and get my nutes back on track do you think she will ever recover?

What city are you in? Hydro stores are mostly open for pickup and they all sell the ph kit I’m talking about

You can get an aquarium ph test drop kit, for cheap, at most garden centers. Get you by til you get pen. Plus drops are a good backup if pen acts up or is not calibrated properly.
