Fatal ovewatering? Will she survive?Ugh! One of my two plants Is dying. I suspect overwatering associated with some other issue I can't spot properly. 58 days flowering. It was my first flushing session, not a good start. Her sister has no problem. Poked holes in the dirt, raised temp, maxed the fans. What else?

Friends need your help! the leaves turn yellow at the seedling stage!Friends, help me figure it out! First I will describe my conditions! - Tap water 110 ppm - LED QB288 Rspec 250 Watt light works at half the power! - Advanced Nutrients three-component Fertilizers Micro Grow Bloom now I'll tell you how it was! after they have sprouted! they were planted in the system! I made the solution on the recommendation of the fertilizer manufacturer! I added 1 ml/l of each component and it turned out 410 ppm! The second week I changed the solution completely and added 2 ml/l of each component, it turned out 600 ppm the yellowness on the leaves appeared after the first week! I thought it was a magnesium or iron deficiency! and I changed the solution and added 2 ml / l of fertilizers! I keep the ph of the solution within 5.7-6.0 drip irrigation works constantly! The temperature in the box is 23-25 C - humidity is 40-60% Inside, there is a fan on top that turns 360 degrees to blow the plants!

Day 40, I recently discovered my ph meter was faulty and my soil ph is high 7.3. I’m going to do a flush today with just water 6.5ph. I’m using living soil. What do you think will this be good for them? How do they look? My data shows me a daily average of 80.5F and 58% RH.

Fine-Tuning Nitrogen Understanding (Deficiency or Toxicity) -- Suspected deficiency, so how do I adjust Fox Farm nutes?

Normal for flower stage (I believe), but too early for normal and rapid discoloration (week 6). This makes me believe it's a nitrogen deficiency, amplified by SLIGHT overwater

One plant (the one on the right) is going yellow, with brown mottling on the leaves. Both plants have been treated exactly the same. I’m giving the plant some calmag and extra nutrition after flushing it (which had no effect). Any ideas to save this plant? Worried…

Could someone help me to identify the issue my plant has?This girl isn't looking healthy anymore and I need to figure out why. What I did: I topped her pretty early but she recovered well (you can see it in my grow diary). A week later I transplanted her from 0.5L pot to her final autopot 14L. After that she had a hard time recovering.

Too Much Light?Top looks yellowish, more so IRL than in the pic and the new growth is kinda taco-ing. Just under 24" from the light, 78F and using Photone the DLI was at ~30. I don't really trust that app but if it's even sorta accurate, 30 might be high with no CO2? says their charts anyways.
