Tips turning yellow?

Smeagsstarted grow question 5 years ago

Tips of leaves on "top" of plant got some yellowish tips? Lights about 28inchs away don't think it's light burn. Had maybe too heavy feeding yesterday, even tho it's starting top down. Anything popping out to anyone?

Yellow tips are excess off phosphorus. Not enough to worry about though so carry on. Make sure you just water every 2 or 3 feeds.

yellow leaf tips "I've noticed yellow leaf tips on one of my plants. My watering pH was 6.5, and EC was 1.6. Today, I flushed it with osmosis water (pH 6.5), and the drainage water had a pH of 6.2 and EC of 1.0. Is the problem resolved now, or do you have any other suggestions?

Nutrient lockout or deficiency Die unter Planze im Bild ist seit ein paar Tagen hell obwohl ich letztes mal schon mehr gedüngt hab. Habe mit EC 1.5 / Ph 6.2 gegossen. Im runoff kam Ec von 3.5 raus, es war aber nur sehr wenig runoff deswegen find ich 3.5 eigentlich in ordnung. Blatt spitzen sind aber auffällig.

Any idea what is causing this crisping on a few of my leaves? I am maybe seeing some slight curling/taco-ing on the upper leaves too? I think the PH might be a bit high in my water too, it's 7. I've ordered a filter and some PH Dwon, the PPM was only 250. Related?

Always produce drain while using organic fertilizer?I think I made a big mistake in this very first grow, so here is the question: Should I always water enough to produce some drain? Even when using organic fertilizer? Until now I did not have a single drain in the whole grow as I water ~10-15% of the pot volume.

First Grow Help And Feedback Hello Grower, OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Is this nutrient burn?As a beginner it is hard to classify that: Are the brown tips a sign for nutrient burn? Or rather a deficiency of something? Soil pH (out of whack) 7.4ish. Fighting that for weeks now... Soil EC ~ 2000 µS/cm. Crazy Hills fertilizer as scheduled. Thank you!

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?
