I need some expert advice as to whether I can save this Apple fritter plant. I’m using a cali super soil in a 5 gallon cloth pot in a 4x2x5 VIVOSUN grow tent. I haven’t added any nutrients only water just as the instructions say that came with the super soil. It’s Saturday here on the East Coast and I hope my plant makes it over the weekend before I get a response from someone from the West Coast. Any help is greatly appreciated. I just don’t want my last few months of this effort to grow this to be wasted. Here is a pic of the leaves and plant.
I hope you can see the pics.

Your plant looks fine. I would back off the defoliation. Your plant needs it’s leaves at this point to power growth.

My concern is that the tips of some leaves are turning brown and curling off as if they are dying, which they are. If you look at the pic, the one leaf that is in the center. It’s all brown right in the middle. I’m not going defoliate anymore for a while.

I would also say that super soil wants to be in at least 15 gal before the water only plan works. I started feeding in week 5 light doses and every other week a dose of calmag. I use build a soil 3.0 no till water only… I feed them anyway, I just dial back the parameters a bit. I say give them a small bit as well. Maybe top dress with some fresh castings
