My girl is so picky

===FIRS GROW EVER===
---Help a poor fellow!---

Hello guys, I have a problem with my girl, and I can not figure it out.
Medium: Secret Jardin DarkRoom R3 60x60x170cm | DIY Led Light (max 220W) | 5.7L pot | Regular vegtable soil (33%) + some vegetable soil with mychorize (33%) + perlit (17%) + some soil with nothing in it (17%) {the 2 vegetable soils had some perlit in it too} | TMP: 24 Celsius | RH 45-65%


Some Background: In the last few days some changes happened. I had some problems with watering (not enough water). After solving that, i noticed some problems with the leaves. First i thought it was CalMg, and i put some mix of micronutrients and added some egg shell powder. The water i was using was a mix of BioBizz Heaven + BioBizz Grow (1ml + 1ml + 2L pH6.4 water).
The plant has 3 weeks and a few days since i placed the seed in germination phase. The light was 108W of Cold + Neutal.

The plan was, that after the watering problem, to solve the deficiency/excess and put her in flower, so the next step was to increase the light power and add some Warm light, and when i would have the full panel light on, to switch to 12/12.
The next watering was with a mix of BioBizz Heaven + Bloom + Grow + Top Max + Water (1ml + 1ml + 1ml + 1ml + 2L pH 6.4).
After 2 days or so, the plant needed water again, but i noticed that some younger leaves have a yellowish color. I thought it needs some Mg, so i watered with 0.5L 6.4pH water + 1.5ml of Mg liquid nutrient (it was the concentartion mention on the bottle 30-45ml for 10L of water)
Today, when i check her again, the leaves looked like in the photos. The burned older leaves are from the watering problem, the rest of the problem just appeared.

I am not sure what to do next, and in one day or so i can water again. Also i removed the Warm light, now it has again 108W of Cold + Natural. I suspect to be some K excess (from TopMax + Bloom), that lead to another deficiencies, one of them being iron judging by the leaves. I also have some foliar with micronutrients pretty rich in iron. Should i use it :?

*Crying for help* :help:

Comfortably numb!
Well my friend I am not the best to ask about nute deficiencies but, I can say this much. 5.7l = 1.5gal with their size they should be in a minimum of a 3gal pot, 5gal preferred (11.3 & 18.9l respectively). Those are US gallons BTW. Imperial gal = 160oz vice 128oz for US gallons. Imperial gallons are 4.54l per gal :)

I remember my 1st grow, man what a struggle that was and the majority was caused by improper VPD (vapour pressure deficit). I did solve that issue in subsequent grows however, once my VPD was dialed in to my growing conditions. That being said... during those subsequent grows, I had several "nute" deficiency with the brand I was using. I switched brands and all is in the rear view mirror now. Hope this helps don't kick yourself too hard, its all part of the experience LOL :tiphat:
