It kind of looks like mag but start off letting people know your setup and what you've done so far.
what soil, light, nutes, etc are you running? How often do you water and feed and how much?

Alright so my soil is Espoma Organic potting mix, recently transplanted so i might've damaged some roots, but its been growing happily for the last couple of days, pretty sure their healing fine. I have a 400w HPS that im keeping at 200w, just for the time being as its not really that big or flowering yet. and I water every few days, maybe 3days at max without watering, I just go by soil texture, not extremely over watered but nice and moist all around.
And ive just been feeding some fish poop from my water cannister from my aquarium. every week or so i try to atleast once or twice.
Im gonna change it into regular compost tea's just waiting on my rich soil to come in.
also adding some red wigglers, trying to make a living organic soil, thinking about getting roove beetles and other predatory insects.

Just an FYI, dimming an hps light will change the spectrum.
Yeah just realized how significant of a difference it is. but I got you, I put it to 400w ty.

With the darkness of those leaves and the edges burning, looks like that soil is running hot. What is your runoff PH and PPMs? Could be transplant shock, but I think that would look like more yellowing of the leaves. Doubt that the lights are too weak. If they are, you could bring the light closer or bring the canopy closer to the light.
Looks nice and I'm sure your plants will grow out of this situation. Keep up the good work

This is my 2 ¢ -
What is buying an overpriced bag of worms gonna do better than adding EWC ?
Also that “ bloom booster “ is another overpriced amendment- since you can buy a readily available retail version ( Dr. Earth ). Dr. Earth is also OMRI certified.
These “ boutique “ bagged nutes and such are no more than a money grab. If you actually compared amendments listed on those labels with other retail brands - you will find there is no secret sauce.
Cannabis does not need “ special “ mixes of this or that.

Agree with above, it's likely hot soil.
I'm going to suggest always adding extra aeration to your potting mix or soil before potting, regardless of brand or type.
Helps the roots breathe / aids in drainage.
Add aeration always.
Careful you're not overwatering. Will make a hot soil worse.
And I'd be hesitant using aquarium waste at all. Exactly the kind of thing that could cause what you see.
Being recently transplanted I'd say if you stuck to water only and waited a day or two longer to water, I think you'd see some improvement.
Giving it too much love.
Your totally right, I was trying to find a good fert but just lazyily looked up the quickest thing on amazon.
I'll keep in mind Dr Earth's next time.
I was trying to get to eventually building a super soil with all the right Meals etc. just seemed super pricey for the moment.
also I got the worms for more aeriation in my soil yeah but also just a constant supply of earth worm castings? lol just seemed pretty win win, Ive seen people talking about living soils etc, so I just wanted to try it out.
your right might just pick up some perlite or something of the sort and probably water less yeah and no more fish nutes atm.
