Slight burn. You're feeding MORE than the manufacturer recommends and manufacturer recommendations are notoriously over what your plant wants. Dial it back a bit, see where 4mL/L takes you after doing a water only feed or two.

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?6y ago

Lockout? Can I remedy this late in the game?I think this is more than a K deficiency. I think I'm getting lockout. And a lot of it. She's an auto-flower, and I grow hydroponically. Can I even remedy it at this point?Leaves. Edges burnt

Is the browning caused by nutrient burn or symptoms of something else? I had previously backed off, but want to know if I'm missing something. Most of the stems are red for leaves as well as petrioles. My runoff is around 900 each time @6.1. Only one plant of 2 has this.Week 4

What’s wrong with seedling?What’s wrong with her? Tangerine dream auto sown directly in FFOF on June 8. Growing beautifully like a weed (lol) but color is weird, looks patchy and mottled. Did from the beginning hope she’d outgrow it but no. Under a fairly mild 45w led. Thoughts?Leaves. Edges burnt

Does anyone knows if should I flush the pot ahead of time to reduce nutrients levels?As you can see from last pic from week 6, I have used pre amended soil with 2.5 % of Nitrogen on dry mass. (sorry for the italian).
Should I flush the pot ahead of time in order to reduce nutrients level so to both solve the yellow tips problem and favour the flowering stage?6y ago
