Can you please fill out these questions pertaining to how you are growing your plants?

Need more information as your problem could be nute burn or pH, could be any number of things, which is why I need more information to accurately find out your problem.

Pictures help out a ton too, you have any?

its in veg phase its a clone not a seedling, its being grown in soil, i dont have pics because my friend told me it would be sketchy to post pics in case something like what happend to overgrow occurs, moderate humidity no gauge but always worked for me before, btw i used a little schults plant food and it seems like it might be helping, what else did u want oh yeah, tap water not hard, canopy max temp is 85 and min at night is high 60s, 250w hps, canopy is bout a foot from light, all other plants are fine just the clone that has the problem.......

If the clone is rooted, you can indeed use fertilizers on them right from the start. They are an adult plant, not a seedling. You do need to scale down the amounts you use though considering how tiny the plant is.

By "not hard" do you mean you have a water softener? These can be lethal to plants....

Like magiccannabus said, you have a small mature plant, not a seedling, so you have treat it as such.

The red you see is from an N deficiency - this is a natural result of cloning. When I transplant a clone I give it B1 and a zyme product when transplanting, 1/4 nutes on the first water and work up to full nutes after about two weeks. I grow in coco and water almost every day so the increasing nute thing is easy to accomplish. But you can adapt that to dirt as well. If you start feeding and see a little burn on the tips of the leaves, cut back on the nutes a little.
