I recently got lazy with the pH and had the exact same thing on a few vegging plants.

Looks like a P lockout to me.

Nutrient burn.

Looks like you're using straight perlite. Be careful when doing so. It has no buffering properties.

What are you using for food/water?

At the moment I'm feeding it a pint of water ever 5 days or when I notice it start to limp slightly. For food I'm (was) using miracle grow all purpose liquid plant food. I just got the go box by general organics

nutrient over-load, to fix it - flush for one week and reduce your nutrient feeding - How old are the plants? nothing but a good root stimulator should be used for the 1st 2 weeks and then very little nutrients

The plant is about twenty something days old... about a month. How exactly do you suggest I flush?

Use de-natured water (tap water let stand for 24 hrs) flush every other day for 7 days. watch so you don't overwater water does ot have to run out of bottom of container each time you water, if you water and there is "standing" water that does not go into soil = to much water. Being that the plant is still small your watering will not be much. Should use 1/4 amounts of nutrients that are directed and increasing every week. Remember nutrient directions / -are quite strong for the regular grower and direction are for commerical growers.

Next grow suggest that one not use MG ; because the nutrients do not flush out because they are meant to last the whole grow -that's why many don't use MG.
yeah i just needed food asap and couldn't wait for the gobox to get here so i got the smallest cheapest thing i could find (huge mistake -_-) i wont feed again until i receive it, should be here around Wednesday.

Your yield will be OK - but one need to use soil that is not loaded with to may nutrients. Maybe your end product will/might have a bitter taste, caused by MG, but, it will be all good. We learn some thing new after each grow - You did fine !!!

Well that's great to hear... anyways I'm always 1000000% sure it's a male... my intentions was to cross this grape ape with some crazy white widow from attitude. But I think I might drop another baggy seed in a pot for some more practice, even tho I know what food to feed, soil to use , fertilizer to use, and food to feed it I don't know much about micros and shit like that. I'm sure all it take is a little reading.
