I give up I have tried less water I have tried more water I have tried calcium and magnesium no matter what I do she looks yellow in color still green but not that nice deep green, and the leaves are pointed down. Not wilted just curved. Could they be root bound? I did veg them for about eight weeks I’m in week four of flour she just doesn’t look good. I will try to get some pictures later today as the lights are off right now so I can’t take one
she’s in a 5 gallon pot, fabric. Foxfarm soil, using roots organic aurora master player pack for nutes. I have a couple others in there that seem to be doing fine it’s just this one that seems to be having a problem. Help please, I’m going to continue on flowering but what can I do to help her?
 
You can go in and take a pic....a couple of flashes won't do anything. Just from your description it doesn't sound too bad but explain your watering habits because those certainly sound suspect and when was the last time you topdressed and what soil are you using?

Doesn’t sound like the best watering practice. It’s better to give a full watering every few days versus a little bit each day. I’m using FFOF with some FFHF in 5 gal fabric pots, I water about 1.25~1.5 gal water (per plant) about every 4 days.
 
These plants are resilient but your roots are being kept consistently wet and it's choking it to death. Those leaves curling down are indicative of over watering. You may only give it a little at a time, but that little at a time adds up when it can't dry out Sounds like the other ones may have adapted to this shit treatment or its location in your tent is allowing it to progress worse than the others, perhaps the airflow there isn't the best?

If that were mine, I'd hold off on the player nutes, topdress with a layer of Ocean Forrest, slowly water in .75gal all around the pot (not right at the base of the plant) and give it about half an hour to soak that all up. Your media is going to be pretty dry so the water may just run right though it and sit in the catch pan so you need to give it time to soak it up.

After you do this, give your pot a little lift, it should feel heavy....don't water again until it feels very very light in comparison. You need to give it wet and dry cycles. Obviously it is in a net so I don't mean literally pick it up, but just grab the edge of the pot at the top and lift it like an inch....you'll feel that it is heavy.
 
You can give it a couple days to dry out on the middle or you can water it now properly when the lights come on....totally your call, just do it correctly going forward. It will take some time to correct so don't expect an immediate difference

Nute , water , recharge ?
I’ve read that’s a good rotation , just too frequent even though it was not a full watering

First you should water by weight and never by a schedule. Next it should happen with a volume adequate to saturate the medium well. Use at least 20% of container volume and better with 25%. The additional becomes possible after you get better about judging container weight.

Use a skewer or chopstick long enough to reach the bottom of the container and really loosen up the medium. Especially under the plant.

Frequent watering with small amounts equal shit roots.
