Nute burn during flower
Sup3rNov4started grow question 5y ago
So I have noticed something strange. Well I think it's strange I could be wrong as it's my first grow but I started flushing 3 days ago and now I'm seeing a lot of nute burn all over the plants is this normal ?

If you are flushing, that isn't nute burn. When you take all the nutrients out of the soil, the plant will start using everything it has stored in the leaves in order to keep itself alive. That is why you are seeing yellow color develop. Happy growing.

Fellow growers, after a few weeks of beautifull growth, I now start to get yellowing leaves which dry up and starve. I am. I am doubting between a lack of nutrification or over nutrification. I suspect the latter (biocanna nutrients and soil). Any ideas? Thanks!!Week 6

Nitrogen toxicity mid-flowerSo I overfed during veg and now my plant has nitrogen toxicity. Besides making leaves super dark, crunchy, and yellow it has also made my buds pistils curl and brown way too early. I’ve been flushing often with water. Is she a lost cause or should I ride it out for 4 more weeks?4y ago

Is this light burn?Is this light burn? If not what is it?
It's under a Phillips 13w household led 2700k bulb, it's not the only affected area but it's the most affected and the closest to the bulb.
I plan to add more but don't want the issue to accelerate.
Thanks in advance!6y ago

Yellow leaf tips in flowerShe's pretty far into flower, in DWC, and the environment and nutrient schedule have stayed consistent for a while now. I'm using GH Flora Trio at 5ml of Micro, 2.5ml of Gro, and 7.5ml of Bloom per gallon.
The leaf tips are looking burnt, should I ease off on nutrients or what?Week 12

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feedingHaving difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses.
One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farmsLeaves. Curl down

Cal/Mag deficiencies? Yellow leaves topHello dear growing community!
I am wondering if my purple Auto, at 4 weeks, is doing well in termes of Cal/Mag (that I don't use) or NPK (normal use of Biogrow, bloom and top max) because I am having the points of the leaves getting yellow? 🤔🤔
Thanks :)Leaves. Color - Yellow
