Sure
Sure Pal, you know it all. Like how perlite is a nutrient.
Hey in case you haven't seen this, here's a leaf diagnosis pic, and a chart that shows pH range for nutrient uptake. Learning to read the leaves is important, as is having right pH range when watering. I spent prolly an hour a night reading everything on growweedessy and rereading it, then I came here for specific questions. I dropped my first seeds just over a year ago, still a noob, but I've learned a lot. Don't get pissed, it's a craft, a hobby, a science, freakin horticulture. Lots to it but it's gets easier. It used to take me 2 1/2 hours to mix and water, takes 45 minutes now. good luck!

Thank you i checked pH and its at 7 /: or maybe a little less. But i just repotted not to long ago
theres a reason your threads keep getting deleted its your attitude. stop with the name calling, youre defensive all youre doing is starting arguments, drop the pride and youll learn much better.

Anyways everyone drop the whole thing jeez. I bought a meter that measures fertility, light, moisture, and pH. But everytime i measure fertility it says its low. Im using good soil that has fertilizers in it im pretty sure but idk what to do. The plant hasnt been in that soil for very long since i just repotted maybe a little less than a week ago. Any suggestions?

That nutrients chart is really confusing and a lot to look at. Lol im just trying to comprehend it all
Those combo meters are garbage, sorry. There's a good pH meter off Amazon for under $20, I can't do a link right now but search for pH meter on Amazon, it'll pop up, lots of reviews

Ok cool. Well the pH meter doesn't seem to be that bad. It said 7 at first but now its more like 6.7 or 6.8
It's from the watering section of the beginners guide on growweedessy, she explains it pretty well. Basically the root zone (soil) in you case has to be within a certain range for the plant to be able to take up nutrients shown. tgats where knowing the medium helps. I use sunshine mix and water at 6.2pH every from seed to finish, no issues in four grows

And the medium is what its growing in correct
Yes, there's soil based, the stuff you can buy at home Depot, and soilless which can be peat moss, coco coir (coconut hairs), or a combination of both. Soilless is preferred as it is much more pH neutral (with the green range on chart), you just have to keep it there by watering at the right pH every time

I think mine is just potting soil. I dont want to have to repot again /: anyways im going to put pictures up of its current state

Heres how its looking as of today

MJ can get going pretty well in commercial potting soil, but the pH is easily thrown out of range unfortunately. The leaf diagram is all about nutrient excess or deficiency, both can be caused by over or under feeding, or nutrient lockout due to root zone PH out of range

Ahh i see. That makes sense
Looks good! Grab a CFL as recommended as soon as possible or get her in the sun, don't want her to stretch due to poor lighting
