My leaves were burning and now I know that I am burning it with nutrients cause my soil already got nutrients. I’m only using water now but now they are turning yellow and the big leaves have spotting. What’s the problem now and how can I fix it?

Hello So typically that very bright new growth is an iron deficiency...but usually it grows out to be a healthy green leaf. Usually it's down to a ph problem though. So double check you're in the 6.2-6.8 range and it should sort itself out. You can also look into adding a calmag supplement like calimagic which also contains iron. Since you've used a bunch of nutes try flushing it with plain ph'd water and then do a very low nutrient dose afterwards.

That is looking like iron deficiency. Likely culprit is ph imbalance. But it could also be lock out due to excess of something else. What is your ph level? Problem Is alot of stressers can provoke iron deficiency. So it's not as simple as just adding some. Addressing the root cause is the only real course of action. First and foremost check to see if your ph is in range. If that is in range... than fathom the lockout idea. Check tds of medium? Is it high? Than u can flush to lower tds ppm of medium. Allow plant to recover and properly absorb minerals. If tds isn't high... than start looking into other environmental stresses that could bring on the deficiency... but I'm sure the buck will stop at ph or tds. Good luck fsm
