Having a hard time with calcium deficiency and lockouts. First grow chembomb autos in ffof and the trio. I can’t really afford anything other than that for nutes. Any advice to get her back on track or for my next grow is appreciated.

I dont see calcium issues. Maybe mag. Ph more.likely. What is it at? They dont look bad to me. I dont see a history of damage in her leaves. How wet? She actually looks good. A little wilty but wet soil will do that. Give us ph in. The FFOF folks will chime in on nutes. Let us know how wet. Color is good. I actually think not much needs to be done. Better eyes will come look
Just my thoughts.

I agree. Looks like mag but also could be zinc as it looks worse on new growth which would be solved through correct PH.

Good morning and welcome. Your plant doesn’t look too bad.

I agree doesnt look too bad. Slight Nitrogen deficiency and incorrect PH is my opinion

She doesn’t look like she’s struggling. Honestly she looks a little under fed. Is this photo taken with wet soil or dry? I dont see anything to indicate lock out at any point. I also dont see a single painted nail. I do see just the slightest edge curl on this little sativa. Here’s my advice. Raise your lights another four inches, let the soil dry out, give her 15 ml Big Bloom, 10 ml Grow Big, 10 ml Buds and Blooms, 1 tbls molasses, and 5 ml Cal/Mag. In one gallon of spring, well, or distilled water ph 6.8-7.1
Give her half of that gallon and let her dry out again. Give her the other half but be sure to check the ph in the water again as you will get ph drift, then watch the tips of the leaves for a few days. Just the tips should start to get brown. (Painted nails) this will/should max her out on nutes. Next would be a watering with just Cal/mag ph properly 6.8-7.1
She’s fine brother. Don’t be bothered by slight changes in your plant, its common. It’ll all come to you with experience and practice. Welcome @hgassaway30

Overall looking good Growmie, add 1/2 teaspoon of Epsom salt to your nutrient mix. My advice for soil and the trio is follow a drench to drought routine with liberal run off and a decent dry back back. The liberal run off will help rinse the salts away from the previous feeding and the drought will provide the roots the needed oxygen. Keep your feed strength around 800-850 PPMs and the PH at 6.5

Thanks everyone for the input definitely eased my mind a bit. My ph was off for awhile I am using the cheap Vicodin ph meters I calibrate once a week I check it with the 4.0 solution notice it’s usually reading .4 higher than my buffer so I try to get as close to 6.5 I can till I can afford something more reliable.

I usually water about every 2 to 3 days till good amount runs off usually a lil less than half a gallon
Also I got some recharge I was gonna try for the rest of this one and then the next grow too everything I’ve read on it seems like it would be a good add

The two plants on the far left are in Fox Farm Happy Frog but its two years old. I use Recharge as a top dress about every three weeks. Just a sprinkle across the top. I’m one to tell you it works. I dont have any problems in old soil.
