Hard to tell with the lighting, but thrips are bad! As stated below—- spray plants in veg with neem (right before lights out), get some sticky yellow soil bug traps, and maybe some diatomaceous earth powder for the soil. They can get out of control very quickly!

The white dots are from the thrips. You should get some Neem oil, spray it on the soil and also lightly as a foliar spray. The yellowing and browning of the leaves are probably a separate issue, it looks like potassium deficiency.

So looking at the last 2 pictures, what do you guys think? Lack of nitrogin or magnesium? Or is it because she doesn't need the big leaves anymore? Thanks for answering!

Yellow leaves Hi guys, unfortunately because of an emergency I had to leave my 2 babys with some friends for three weeks. At the bottom some yellow leaves and like burning signs. I don't think it's because of over nutrition. They didn't get any for three weeks. Might be not enough nutrient?

Crispy Yellow Leaves Inflow EC=1333 w/ PH=5.8 vs Runoff EC=658 w/ PH=6.0. Insufficient nutes due to light intensity? Perhaps my PH meter is inaccurate? Light is 42 inches from canopy or ~600 PPFD. RH 65%, Temp 80 F.

Leaf tips yellowing. Overwatering? Or nute burn?I recently flushed my soil with water that was PH 7 (my soil was a bit too acidic).
