Frank's mix is hot !!! tell us more . Are they in solo cups ?
Ya see week 6 they should start shedding fan leaves but they usually fully yellow and drop
If i only get 1 guess with the tad bit of info you have given. Id bet you let them run dry and start drooping a few times. Also would bet your ph meter is not calibrated /cheap-o one or you added too much of something to brown the top leaves like that . to me that screams ph issues.

Adding Epsom to soil week 6 imo is not going to help you . Just ride it out 2 more weeks and try again .

BTW I use Frank's mix in 20g soft pots now am half way threw my 2nd cycle and I just top dressed for the 1st time. Other than that water and microbial mass every 2nd Sunday. Best looking, tasting and yielding plants I've grown indoors

they are in 7 gallon pots,i may have let them go abit dry never bone dry or drooping,thinking was overwatering,i was watering 4 liters a day,i backed off to 3 max daily,i only been adding liquid karma at 20ml per 5 gallon, a drop of silica to ph up to 6.5 from start of seedling nothing more.

im using a tri-meter $300.00when purchased with brand new prob,2 months only and calibrated every use..i also have a bluelab..both say 6.5...

for sudden ease yes, foliar can help the plant, but not the ongoing issues with the unbalanced nutrient profile of the pre-made soil they are in.
several reason can cause the deficiencies symptoms, you can only tell it after checking the pH and ec out of your medium.

I dunno Frank's mix was made for beds, i don't know if 7gal of soil is enough to go water only . But synthetic nuitrients are just going to fuck with the biological soil plant relationship. If you add bloom food you should finish the grow with it .

The whole point of soil building was to ax the bottle. And the meters.

My 1st couple attempts at organic my plants always ran outta gas week 6 I chalked it up to adding too much (nirvana, terpinator, pure blend tea , phosphoric acid and poor watering habits . I usually missed when they started slowing down drinking and overwatered. Plus p.o.s ebay ph meter.. once I owned a bluelab I realized how shitty the cheap meters are.

This doesn't help you i know but it is early .

individual plants can have

- different needs
- can have different issues with ph or root development, this even can happen with the same clones due to environmental factors even in the same rooms microclimate or any parasites/root rot for example


and also different elemnts show different signs on the plant :

If its only happens under the LED light then you need to add more cal -mag to strengthen the cell tissue. I had this problem happen to me when I used 2 x 2000 watt high intensity LED lights and was low on calcium. Also I had a few of the same plants under HPS and didn't get the bronzing.

Looks like these are eating hard. This is a classic P deficiency, probably combined with Ca def.

Some gypsum and a good high P product should stop it.
