Looks pretty normal for flower stage, not sure about seed genetics. Check the pH of the soil and stop feeding nutes if you are. Give a flush for the plants sake and have a pH around 6 👍👊

At what stage do leaves get darker ? This is confusing
I overwatered them at the beginning of veg and then I fed them with 0.7 ec nutes max, EC would go up if I gave more. I've had tips burning probably from light too close. I find that leaves are pretty dark but it may be because of the strains. When leaves do get darker in flo ?

Yellow leaves with grey/dark outline
I have some yellow leaves with grey/dark outline. Do you know the cause? Could be the humidity level too low? or K deficiency?! I'm not so sure about the last one. Help me guys please.

RunWithIt
Popped up around last week (week 4, monday). Prior to week 4, i had been watering with tap water, which in my area is pretty hard.(7.8+ pH) Been correcting pH to 6.8 with each watering since. (2 waterings since then.) Should i just continue feeding 6.8 pH water or add cal-mag?

Organic peat control
I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

My seedling doesn't look so good.
This is my first coco grow so could be possible that I made a mistake. The other three seedlings are super healthy but this one has this weird thing with it's leaves. Somebody seen this before? I gave them some root juice and fertilizer before transplanting with ph between 5,5-6.

Bud leaves turned black
Top leaves turned brown overnight, That day I did come home to a disturbing temp off 31oC . It’s the black Mini leaves in buds that are worrying me more. lights came on accidentally for two hours so gave her 16hrs dark and back to 12/12 This may have contributed.

Please see the 2 photos marked in the diary. Is this a classic PK burn? Did a feed with no MegaCrop, no cal-mag, just PK boost at diluted dosage. The coppering and yellowing has come sudden. Leaves are crispy where burnt. I hear its easy to burn with PK boost. Did I do that?
