looking for some advice for 2 things. I've been doing a lot of reading & am wondering if this may be k deficiency instead of nute burn as i originally thought. The leaves are browning all along the edges, & some yellowing on the leaf. Second, seeing a few holes in some leaves
Solved
Leaves. Edges burnt
Leaves. Veins · Yellow between

Hey, buddy! 👋 It's a phosphorus deficiency, no doubt about it! The stems of the leaves are red - that's a sign of phosphorus shortage in the tissues! The foliage is unevenly green - problems with nutrient absorption, possibly due to high nitrogen content in the fertilizers, or maybe from calcium overdose. I assume you're not adding fertilizers with "Bloom" in the name to your watering. It's time to start doing that, my friend! The ratio of Grow to Bloom additives in the middle of the vegetative stage should be (1:1). You should have introduced the plant to the Bloom additive as soon as you had the first 5 pairs of leaves! 👌 Good luck, buddy! ✊😇

It's nutrient burn or not enough water. It is most definitely not a K deficiency because that starts from the inside of the leaf and then goes to that in the last stage.

I have not added any nutes at this point, planted them in ffof. I can do a runoff test, but I just watered them yeaterday so it will be another day or two before watering again.

Hard to say why you have a deficiency. If you know you haven't fed to much, going by the label on the nute bottle? If you are, your overfeeding creating lockoutnor just could be you ph isnt right, either going in or coming out. Best to do a runoff test if your able and see what the ppm and ec is coming out. Go from there. Cheers
