Leaf burnt edges

One leaf has burnt edges and is a little different looking, than the other leaves. Is this some kind of nutrient burn? I am using a light mix soil, and have not fed the plant with additional nutrients, except for a little root stimulant (half of recommenced dosage).

Hey, buddy! 👋 Your pH is normal, everything is fine with the soil acidity! But check out how part of the leaf has curled, and the tips have changed color. This is the beginning of a phosphorus deficiency, and such changes can happen on other leaves too. Most likely, you're using soil with high nitrogen content and low phosphorus content. It's time to start adding Bloom nutrients in a 1:1 ratio with Gro nutrients! 👋 But start with half the dose recommended by the fertilizer manufacturer for the vegetative stage! 👌 Good luck, buddy! ✊😇

Hello The plants are looking good for this age even with the slight discoloration happening. Its often common for a plant to get yellowing of those first 3-4 sets of leaves as they get older but this is a little premature for that. Any chance you have been misting the plants with anything? Water to boost the humidity? Or something to go after the mystery bugs? I used to mist mine because of low humidity and i didnt use chlorine free water and it ended up discoloring several leaves. For the soil bugs, keep in mind that sometimes soils have beneficial insects inside them also, like Oly mountain compost for instance has predatory mites in their compost. 👍 Happy growing. ✌️
