I have this plant I'm sure she has some sort of deficiency , I think it's Phosphorus. But I wanted to ask a more experienced grower before I took action. I give her a concentrate with a 3-10-3 NPK Ratio & I feed her 5 tablespoons per gallon. Here are pictures of the Issue & the nutrient I use, What should I do?!!!!
I NEED HELP!!!

You are murdering that thing. The leaf cuping is a sign of under watering. Also, cut back on the phosphorus it's too abundant causing a lockout of zinc. That's why you are having pale leaves and grayish patches.

17.5 ml in a tablespoon, most nutes STATE how much to feed. youre putting over 80ml of nutes into a gallon?

No, I'm certain he means table. The label he posted also says tablespoon.

never use super phosphates for pot. like, ever....
Oh Really? Why not? I'm glad you told me, I'm still a newbie this is my first time growing, I plan on starting them inside then having them outside by June. But I'm so glad I have fellow growers to help me with this haha I really appreciate it Guys!!
So I'm about to pour this gallon out and re do everything, would 2 or 3 teaspoons of 3-10-3 be good ?

WELCOME to RIU. You will find a lot of great information on here, but also some not so great information. The most important thing is to continue to learn and do individual research to find what works best for you in your garden. Make use of the forums search bar, as this is a great way to find threads that are posted on topics and questions you may have. Furthermore, don't take information as being a 100% valid without verification, I prefer members who have photos, videos, etc to back there claims, but even then every garden and grower are different

Finally, please know that "Well-Known Member" doesn't necessarily equal "Great/Knowledgable Grower" as many new members tend to make this assumption. I am a prime example of a new grower, who has received this status simply because of my activity on the forum!
Best of lucky with all your grows and again welcome to the RIU community!
From what I'm seeing based on your post is the plant has way to much Phosphorus being added. Personally, I would toss the nutrients you currently have, but this is just my personal opinion. By no means am I an expert as I am a first time grower as well. Many recommended the Fox Farm trio to me as a easy to use nutrient starting point. There Big Bloom is .01 - .3 - .7 and focuses on the micros your plant will need, while Grow Big is 6 - 4 - 4 and then Tiger Bloom for when you hit flowering is 2 - 8 - 4.

I'd stop feeding it for now, and just give water. That NPK ratio is way out of line for veg. AGAIN, this is just my personal opinion. Always do your research and make decisions based off what you think is best.
Alright Thanks so much man! I'm sure a few leaves are going to die off but she'll survive. Glad I ran into you guys!

Just relax. I ruined my first 4 grows, but in the process I learned a lot.

I'm on my first grow too, I thought I'd messed it all up on week two of veg,
The pics I've posted are of week 2 veg and of now day 16 of light switch.
Hopefully this will show you that these plants can be very resilient well In my opinion anyway.

That's some fine recovery work. Looking good.

plant's can only take up so much phosphorous before locking it out. ample p is ample salt, fucks with ph, causes lockout, which causes deficiency. a 1-2-3 approach works best for flower, 1-1-1 for veg imo
be welcome.
