Leaf issue in Wk 6
Hi I am having a leaf issue late in week 6. It’s been coming on a while. I’m wondering if the ph is out or too high ppm. 7 gal pots in a Scrog, it’s hard to test runoff. I’m starting to flush now so does it matter as much as long as ph is good? More wondering for next run. Thanks

Crispy dry margins on the upper leaves. Please see detailed pics through week 5 of flowering. Pics from different days are available.
The younger plant was showing what I thought to be P and K deficiencies on the leaves. Growth stopped too. Increased its nutrient amount 3 days ago (bloom-grow-acti). Since then I observed some bud growth but the problem on the upper leaves continue. Any ideas?

Dark spots starting after feeding. Concern? CalMag, first time feeding with more nutes, so it might be nute burn yea but is it a concern. It started moments after watering, or that's when i noticed it. On a few leaves. Earlier on i cut lower buds and did some defoliation

Guess on what this is?
Unsure what this issue might be. PH seems in check going in and out. Getting mainly Fox Farms nutrients - got very weak doses of B-52 and CalMag a week or two ago. The other two plants are fine.

Suggestions as to why this plant is a mess!
First grow - Blueberry Auto outdoor. Pathetic thing is on day 36 from direct sow. White splotches since week 2. Subjected to excessive heat, an oversized garden bed, lack of sunlight and overcompensating with supplemental grow lights. CoM organic nute/soil. Any solid diagnoses?

Cant find pH section. Leaf edges are burnt. Working on a student budget, had to postpone buying pH meter. Local tabwater is 7,03 - 7,74 according to internet. Ill be adjusting pH starting Thursday. Can I go to 6.0 straight away or should I go down in steps of say 0.2 to adapt

Weird Sugar Leaf Burning
Does anyone have an idea what happened to my leaves? They are trying up and burning for some reason but only 3 of the 7 that are in the tent. They are all clones from the same mother plant. At first I assumed it was too much light at 1200 ppfd but dropping it didn't help.

Brown spots and brown tips
Hello. First time grow. I am seeing brown spots and brown tips on leaves. The spots are only on a couple of older leaves. Brown tips on most other leaves. It is a gorilla glue auto in soil. I suspect nutrient problem, but would like other opinions.
