Second is a sativa straight called juicebox both are week 4 from pop. 5gal fab pots
I foxfarm soil 18-6 light just topped 2 days ago. I know they are small. I dont have a humidifier currently. But under mars hydro Ec 3000 I do believe.
I have been using bottled water and tap. Not sure whats going on though. Maybe I should just yse tap? Here in nevada.

You may have a ph issue. I’d get a ph pen and probably use the tap water. Bottled water runs the gamut from purified/distilled water to mineral/alkaline water. Are you feeding at all? If not you probably should, FFOF only has nutes for the first 3 weeks or so, Happy Frog has even less nutes.

For veg crab, fish, bone, meals. Hi nitrogen high phos seabird guano. K-Mag ( potassium and magnesium sulfate). Dolomite lime, not hydrated lime though that works too. Glacial rock dust or azomite for micros. Chicken manure. Down to earth and spare time organics brands can be found at most grow shops and carry what you need.

Looks less like a pH issue and more of an underfed plant.

I didn’t know you were growing organic, PH is less of an issue, but you should get a baseline of your water. Often, if it’s municipal water they publish on-line water analysis, so you can an idea of ph, dissolved solids, hardness etc.

If you are sticking with organic, just bear in mind that these minerals and compounds take longer to break down and become plant available.
If you’re in soil, the ph becomes less an issue as @Phytoplankton noted. Municipal tap water is generally fine so stick with that. Good ‘ol fashioned top dress and water can sometimes do a world of good. GL and have a great weekend!

Do not forget compost or vermicompost ( not just casts though they work too). I make and use extracts. Once or twice weekly. Simple. Cheap. Highly effective.
Simple. No bubbling a tea. Fill a paint strainer bag with compost, shake and agitate till strainer bag drains clear.
Cheap. Bucket, water, compost and strainer bag.
Effective. Its used immediately. So you cant forget to make it a day or more before use. Soul microbes, aerobes in the correct ratios. Good NPK. Humic and fulvic acids.
Can be used as a foliar spray to keep leafs clean and feed as well as prevent, and control powdery mildew. Not very effective once PM goes wild. But absolutely will suppress it well as a preventative.
Top dress the spent compost in the bag.
You can also soak organic ferts in the bag with an aerator (24-72hours) or without an aerator. (12-24 hours) to make water soluble feeds. Top dress the ferts from the bag afterwards.
