Please provide as much info about your grow that you can.
Medium, nutes, pH, feeding schedule, water source, etc.

No notes. Just potting soil that feeds throughout. About 6 months or so...I just transplanted because this was happening in the other pot. The roots were circled around the bottom of the other pot so I thought it was root bound causing it. Now that can't be the problem, having new medium and more room. I'm stumped

Moisture control miracle grow w/ 1/4 compost to soil. LED 24" from top of plant...75 degrees F. I'm new so I don't know what else to tell you guys.

I'll just start over i guess
If you start over I would scrap the miracle grow. I just ran a test with 3 plants. One in miracle grow and it sucked all the way through. Some swear by it. I tested myself due to the cost of the mix I use at $30 a bag so tried the $15 miracle grow so maybe I wouldn’t have to order anymore and nope will stick with ordering. U don’t have to start over let them go just don’t expect much except burnt leaves etc. I still got 80 grams of that auto. But the other 2 I got 170 grams each. Would also recommend using fiber pots

Is it possible for the plant to outgrow the hot soil(if thats the problem)? I.e. ...if the plant gets big enough, will the "hot" soil become just normal in a sense? Because of the plant being much bigger?

They're not dead. You can still rescue them. I wouldn't throw them away, especially if they are females of known good genetics. Once you solve the problem, you might have to trim them back and let new healthy veg growth come out for a couple of weeks. It'll be a very good learning experience for you to get them healthy.

Before doing the following, I would check all other possible issues like pH, light intensity, temps, etc....

If if if and only if the soil is determined to be the cause, I would get known good soil. Then, carefully remove the plant from the current pot with the entire rootball intact. Then, very gently massage and loosen up the existing soil. Then, gently rinse the rootball with hose to remove as much existing soil as possible. Then, carefully transplant back into container with new known good soil. Then trim back some of the damaged growth, being sure to leave the lower new growth shoots intact. Then, put under lights at reduced light intensity to allow less stress while plant adjusts. Then, slowly increase intensity back to original level over the following week.

I say "gentle" a lot because you want to preserve the integrity of the roots as much as possible.

The already damaged growth will not improve, but if you get the situation fixed, then the new growth will look healthy.

Good luck! Peace :peace:

Alright , im starting week 5 of veg and noticed these leaves spotting and browning on the edges...I'd hate to start over. Lol. What can I do and what is it, most likely.?
This is my current situation. Those leaves look worse. Should I flush?
I wouldn't say that's terrible. It's not awesome, but you can work with that for sure.
The more I look at it, the more it looks to be nutritient burn...tips pointing up on the affected leaves. Will a flush help?

You can't flush out those timed release nutrients. In fact if you get the soil too wet and keep it too wet by flushing you'll likely just release more nutrients faster.
