Discoloration on leaves. Why?
I was looking at a closeup view of an overhead pic I took yesterday and noticed some slight tan/bron color along the sides of the 2 bigger leaves. I'm wondering why. Nutrient burn? Sulphur deficiency? Something else? Any thoughts?

Yellow mottled leaves with burnt edges
Help. After months of babysitting my "autoflowering dwarf" it's finally started flowering. In the last week though all the leaves have become mottled and yellow with burnt brown edges. What can I do to save her?

Getting out of the ideas - VPD, nutrients or deficiency?
I'm getting out of the ideas as the foliar symptoms proceed. Lowered EC down to 1.8 from 2.2, pH in range. VPD is getting problematic as the plants seem to be respirating a lot during the day and it rises tent RH sometimes up to 70% - exhaust duct fan wont keep up. Temps 22-24C

Brown/white spot
Hi everyone. The plant is a photo on her 7th week of veg. I give solid ferti and diluted compost tea water then appeared white spot on old leaves and the new leaves have tips burnt. Is it PH problem or PH mix with overfed?

What to do? Leaves are getting worse.
Had some light strain earlier on, but now im leaning toward a deficiency. Been feeding on a low-dose flora series schedule with clean ph water for every other feed. Just had clean water yesterday and nutes 3 days before. Dry out between feeds. Nitrogen? Calmag? Other?

It got a little hot yesterday I think plants hit around 81 at one point when I was gone. Not sure if this is some heat stress and light burn or if it’s a nutrient problem. This is this only plant and only leaf with any signs of this

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail
To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?

Yellowing, burnt tips and edges
Hello fellow growers I noticed this happening rapidly after I top dressed. What kind of deficiency is this? Is this nutrient burn as well as a deficiency? Solely a Ph problem?. So far I’ve come up with maybe potassium deficiency and improper Ph when watering? Please help
