Help with my first grow !!! What’s going on with my plant?

Yes. Not a little. Make that baby piss. Get them salts outta there. You want about 20% of the amount you pour in, to piss out. But wait to do it. You need at least another 24 hours to see if she's drowning or thirsty. Those yellow tips are almost 100% nitrogen burn though. We just need you to be patient with the water lol. Also, you'll be watering the entire pots from now on. They're big enough and it will help them more than hurt them. Probably runoff 20% every other or every 3rd watering. Once they need watering everyday(that means the pot is FULL of roots lol), you can runoff everyday because you'll most likely be their supplier of food by then. Plants are all different. There are no such things as the perfect watering and feeding schedules. Growers work their ways to their own personal sweet spots for production, and every set of genetics, as well as most non laboratory environments are different.

Right. If they haven't prayed by this time tomorrow, maybe even a little earlier... Then flush them bad boys. I suggest getting some ph up and down too if you don't already. I'd flush with a perfect 6.5. But for now just use the plain filtered if you don't have the ph kit. She will tell you every thing that is going on come time tomorrow. If she's still drooping and you water her... she is gonna stand so perky and happy within 3/4 hours. Otherwise, she's gonna do that for you anyways beforehand.

well the bluelab pen kit is great but you can get good ones on amazon for cheap. The cheaper they are, the more quick they are to need calibration. Some cheapos can't even be recalibrated. Not enviro-friendly lol But you're talking $20 vs $120.

This is what the label says. What I left out was the purple cow soil is in the bottom third or half of the pot. The top is ffof, perlite, coco coir.

See "Guaranteed Analysis" .8-.8-.8 The first number is your N...so your soil has it, as does the FFOF. And then you're adding N...so you may just want to settle down on the nutrients. Let the plant use the food in the soil. I'm not a proponent of flushing, but you do you. Being that you added coco to the mix, I would manage my pH closely, as coco and soil tend not to jive so well together and each one's optimum pH is different. Good luck friend.

Ok. So when they pray. Hopefully they pray LOL. Wait until they dry, but not dry out completely and then flush them my filtered water? Until the drain out is 20% of what I put in it and then see where that takes me? Got it. Man I appreciate your help more than you know. Thank you

Still yellow at the tips. Looks like it’s getting more yellow. Weird thing Is from what I read off the forums is that if it was a nutrient deficiency it would start from the bottom? And these are starting at the top. The bottom is still green the yellow and the starting from the top. I topped the plant about a week ago and I’m wondering if that’s why? I don’t know what’s going on tho

The location of the irregularity does help indicate whether it's macro or micros for sure. Now that you say that, though, id be willing to bet the nitrogen TOXICITY is happening at the edge of your watering circle. The newest(farthest from trunk) roots are most likely hitting dry soil/salts.

So.. Since you never mentioned any praying, I'm gonna advise you to soak them until they piss. Any yellow tips from toxicity, are most likely already burned and will remain that way. Though some yellowing(deficiencies I believe) can darken back up.
