One of 3 things. 1. Calcium defeciency. 2. Nutrient water spillage 3. Insects under the leaves are eating /sucking

Cut those leaves off spray with light Neem oil from Home Depot ASAP or whatever you can get you’re hands on let soil dry out For now don’t flush when you water after wards jus plain ph water then a light foliar feed afterwards be patient don’t feed till the soil dries out again

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000

Starting to fade? Or nutrient deficiency?One of my plants has several fan leaves that are turning yellow/purple, and I can't tell if it's low on N or starting to fade. The plants are 2 days into week 5 of flower with a 9-10 week flower period, so it seems a little early for it to be turning colors like this.

Brown yellow leaves?Can anyone help me? I had this issue with my last early Miss and thought it was a cal mag deficiency. I tried to adjust it last time during flower but it didn’t help. I really only notice it on one of them so far but I would like to fix the problem sooner than later.

Leaves are turning yellow and dieing. Looks just like nitrogen deficiency. I'm in early flower Losing a bunch of yellow leaves during early flower. I have WPM but it wouldn't progress like this would it? I think I may have just been underfeeding or my pH is off. What do you guys think?
