I have some sign of what I'm educated guessing are deficient of magnesium manganese and or sulfur. Not sure tho. Using Dr. Earths all organic potting soil and fertilizer. All purpose vegetable fertilizer 5-5-5. Ph is good, I'm testing with strips. Thank you.

If you aren't using a Calcium/Magnesium additive, then I recommend starting to. A 5-5-5 blend will not have calcium in it.

Thank you! I'll get on it asap. Also I just got a 1000watt HPS.. Is it alright to leave that on 24 hours without a fan? I'm gonna use it as my heat source for now

In the veg stage, it's technically okay. But you would be far better suited on an 18on/6off cycle, just set it up so the lights are off during mid day, when it's warmest.

You've got bugs; probably some type of mite.
I get moths, and they lay eggs that hatch into catapillers/worms, that walk around the leaf and chomp. The lady bugs eat the little bastartds! And I will get the white flys very soon, also have bars just bc of where I live and the fact it's a shed.

a 5-5-5 blend could have it in it. The 555 only refers to NPK values. It doesn't however mean that it is void of calmag
It's dr.earths organic all purpose 5-5-5 vegetable garden. But it's probly shit, gonna step my game up on my second grow, this is first huge grow ever and any grow in 6+ years. After doing much research it looks one or all of these calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium. Can't be sure tho. Gonna get some liquid ferts from the local hydro store.

Here's some more info to help with diagnostic. The stocks are weak, like if I step over the plant and my pants push it over it stays over for a little while till it turns back around.

Also the petioles to veins are very purple/red it's even on the stem/stock, stem/stock is purple in parts not whole thing (some almost have purple and green stripes up the stem/stock) on some not all. Those ones do have necrotic spots which are some of the photos from original post.

Some are way taller; potassium.

Leafs are curling up when finally dead/dying but start with tips down and little burns on edge of leaf. Very similar to this pic in my book by Ed Rosenthal making me think its phosphorus.

Anything helps thanks!
