Formal repost /// diagnosis

Hello, sorry for the spam… I feel like I post a lot and I’m sorry if anyone is irritated. I feel the need to repost this in a formal way but someone that has been on this forum for awhile directed me in a way to post and what to post when posting so that’s what this is for. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone and I value everyone’s as I have no one else to turn to with this sort of thing.
Any who I am not so sure what is going on here, my first thought was a deficiency if some sort and a couple people have said the same. Furthermore here are some details :)

Disclaimer - some of these things I feel are maybe a little relaxed and “unprofessional “please don’t judge as I am a newb. In the newbie section

Info -
Issue noticed - roughly 4 days ago
Plant life duration - roughly 4 weeks
Amount of plants - 2
Light - IONBOARD s24 (roughly 1.5 feet above canopy of plants) 24 hours of light
Pot size - 5 gallon
Strain - autoflower blue dream
Nutrients - none yet starting flora gro hopefully tomarrow
Circulation - tent is opened once a day, ac infinity all in one carbon filter in-line fan hasn’t been used yet , clip on fan was on when plants were growing up until around 5 days ago
Watering - half gallon every 4 days or so ( really when ever I feel they need it, the old stick your finger in the soil technique )
Soil - coast of Maine stonington blend
Temp - 79/80
Humidity - 80

Any recommendations/corrections to my grow would be appreciated.

thank you all

24 hours of light , 79/80 degrees. I also missed two things we are going to ignore that …..

Temps are good, though that's going to change when you use your extractor so deal with that when needed.

Personally I always run an extractor, your replenishing diminished c02 when you do.

If you don't want to have it on 24/7 at thus point I'd have it on a timer so it cones on 3 times a day to replenish co2 and drop humidity a bit.

I'm willing to bet switching to 18 or 20 hours with a dark period would help.

I'd consider dimming the light .

200w of led 24h a day is over the top

Edit.. might be better raising light rather than dimming. So your temps don't drop

I say all this because too high of a dli in veg will cause the plant to look like it has deficiencies like magnesium, zinc ect.

That would be my first move.

Give it a week and if it hasn't sorted out try a foliar feed of Epsom salts.

But I strongly suspect its the DLI .

Personally I don't think I'd add nutrients yet.
But I don't grow in soil .
So defer to others recommendations on that front

I have heard you can probably expect about a week of nutrients out of each gallon of soil, so retaining that information and believing it to a certain extent it still would be too early for a deficiency…. Could be onto something with the light. Switching from 24 hours down to 18 wouldn’t change anything? Maybe temps is all I would have to worry about ?

In my opinion lowering the dli would make them happier. The 4 hours of dark should be in warmest part of the day

Probably a combination of 20/4 and raising the light so its less intense.

Google DLI
