Root Problems/ Over or Under watering

Hey all, long time reader 1st time grower. I've always had an outdoor green thumb with veggies and herbs but this is my 1st marijuana rodeo. I'm growing legally as a patient in a medical state & currently have 4 feminized Humboldt Headband ladies in fabric pots. I'm not entirely sure but I feel like it's most likely a root/watering issue (under-watering or over watering leading to symptoms that looks like a deficiency) either way these gals ain't looking so hot so some help & advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here's all the details-


I'm growing soil, tap water only, with the addition of FF Big Bloom dosing once I switch to flower. No clue what water Ph is.

Currently watering 2 - 3 cups every 3-5 days for the bigger ladies and about half that for the late bloomer/petite lady. I notice that usually water puddles up at the top for a bit before sinking in and sucking the water down. So I usually wait until that happens before watering the remaining slowly.

Here's a link to some pics-

My soil mix is:
-one bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest
-one bag of Fox Farm Light Warrior
-one bag of Fox Farm Planting Mix with Bat Guano & Worm Casings

-Started them in 4" Clay nursery pots from seedling
-Transplanted to 1 Gal Fabric pots 23 days ago.
-Two Plants on the right are 47 days from seed, tallest back left is 50 days from seed.
-4x4 Grow Tent
-RH Low 32
-RH High 50
-Low Temp 66 at night
-High Temp 79/80 during the day.
-Timber Led 4vs Fixture with TWO additional daises all at 3500k @about 50 % power 30ish inches from the canopy
-3 Cheapie Fans for circulation
-Ac Infinity 6" Dc Fan currently running 24/7 at 40% percent, unhooked from scrubber/filter until flower


As you can see in the other half the pics I've begun LST a couple days ago (albeit a little late) as all 3 plants have been topped. But the bottom leaves are yellow, and showing spotted burn, and now in the last 24 hours some brow crispy parts at the tips on the bottom leaves. Plants were watered last evening.


My plan was to to start in 4" nursery pots, move up to 1 gallon fabric pots during veg, before up-potting to either 3 gallon or 5 gallon fabric pots a week or two before flipping to flower. Flower time for genetics is 60 days.


Thanks again for any tips and advice!!!
