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!

I found out my tap water was 9.8. I'm about to water tomorrow with PH adjusted water, I just didn't know whether or not that could be the issue with the tips turning yellow? Bigger plant now too,just not as bad Basically will the soil adjust since it's a premix in between 6.3-6.8

Surplus or deficiency?Can't tell if there's a surplus of nutrients or a shortage of potassium? One plant looks like nitrogen burn and the other two look like theyre maybe a little k deficient. Was thinking of chilling out on the feed on the burnt one and just feeding micro to the other two. Thoughts?

'Claws' on tips just after flowering started. Previous answers help - it is a bit worse. I keep a perfect VPD. What should I do? Flower wouldnt f I'm confused. For the first 3w I used LED as instructed 30-40cm, I had ~43cm,100%dim, everything was fine. When the bloom started yellow claws appeared and still there, maybe a bit worse, with 53cm and 75%dim. Mostly on BPP, one more plant showed her claws today aswell. 😓

Forbidden runtz excess or deficiency problems autoflower BAD WEEK! need some help here guys.. Brown / rust spots started to appear on the tips and slowly started yellowing leaves. Im following the master advanced nutrients chart and watering 2 times a week. Last week feed was 20 litres R/O water 80ml bloom A 80ml bloom B 40ml of every additive on the chart 20ml cal meg 30ml phup PH adjusted 6.50 After i started noticing the brown spots / leaves curlin up and stunted growth i skipped a feed and flushed with plain R/O water used 30 litres for 4 auto plants. Yesterday i watered again but cut the nutes in half. 20 litres R/O water 40ml bloom A 40ml bloom B 20ml of every additive on the chart 20ml cal meg 20ml phup PH adjusted 6.50 I still don't know what the problem is, if it is a excess of something or a deficiency..Looks like a cal meg deficiency but ive beed using cal meg since the beginning. Maybe i have excess nutes in the soil and resulted in nutrients lockout of cal meg or something else? since i water twice weekly should i water with nutes always ? The master advanced nutrients chart still sometimes confuses me. Please any help will be appreciated
