I'm following BioBizz nutrients schedule, I started this week with nutrients for flowering phase but these leaves grew before - when I was feeding her with the grow/veg phase nutrient. Anyway I moved the lights because I thought to a light stress too

Hello mark4686! What's the scheduler you're following for the feeding? Those signs can also be both potassium excess or light stress, the signs are very similar. Cheers!

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?

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.

Brown Tips on some leaves - too much nutrients?Today I recognized brown tips on a few of the leaves (see pictures). Is it something to worry about? I am having trouble identifying the problem and how to counter it. My best guess is I used a little bit too much fertilizer for this automatic? But I am unsure...

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.

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?

Nute burn? How to handle?Hi, i guess i made the typical newbie mistake and over-feed a little bit. The plant started to get some brown/yellow tips, mostly the upper part of the plant. Is it enough to just stop with nutrients and stay with clear water or is there anything else i can/should do?

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!
