I have 3 of my plants that are experiencing some kind of deficiency, some have curling tips while others have brown spots near the top leaves. They're 20 days old in 5gal fabric pots with ffof soil, just adding calmag at 4ml/gal and rhino skin. Ph is 6.4 to 6.6 every watering. I cant get a ppm runoff as i dont water that much to have water run out because they're so young. Any thoughts are appreciated

Its been like a week since i first started my deficiency question and i took your advice and it worked! No new brown spots, so thank you guys for that help. Some of my new growth has dark green tips that are curling but its only a few so nothing major i believe. I've been watering every 4 days roughly when the pots are dry and light. Today i noticed this... is it a pest or nothing to worry about, again thank you @Mr. Grow It
This looks like light burn 🔥. What you think @Mr. Grow It ? I had something like this on my first try
@Mr. Grow It the other day when i watered until run off i was putting in 6.5 ph and getting out 6.85 but my ppm was like 2500 ive seen some of your videos were you say its fine for that high ppm in ffof cause its organic but in reference to calmag is it okay to add it with that high of ppm ?
How often do you water the plants?
Nitrogen toxicity usually causes the leaf ends to curl down but also usually dark green leaves and sometimes shiney. I don't know what rhino skin is to figure any/ any contribution of issue. The cal-cal-mag you shouldn't have to use every feed/water, I'm usually at every other week in FFOF. Is it possible to do a pH and ppm run off test?
I would do a runoff test it’ll be ok to soak them just as long as you let them dry(let the pots get light)before you water agin could be nitrogen toxicity but I’m still pretty new to this myself but @Mr. Grow It or @mwhite9829 would probably be able to help more one of them should be on here by tomorrow
are they dark green?
