Is this Nute Burn or Light stress? (hoping light stress)
GreenFingeredLTstarted grow question 5y ago
I've not fed in 5 days and this discolouration only started 2 days ago, I'm really thinking it's light stress, I've already turned off one of the lights instead of lifting the lights, more looking for reassurance I've DX'd the problem correctly :D

Hi!
In my experience light stress looks a little different. The leaves might start to droop and the green healthy color starts to fade to lighter green in the top parts where the light intensity is the strongest but I don't think it will make the tiof of the leaves yellow only. So i'd say it is something else but you should not be worried 'cos she's still young and fragile but I'm sure she will grow out of it if you just give her time and keep growing her like you used to!

Hey Guys, two or my plants seem to have a few yellow tips and some brown spots on the leaves. The problem is minor but I think it might be lacking Calcium? I think it needs some Cal Mag added to the next watering. Any advice would be appreciated. See pics. ThanksWeek 11

Brown Tips on LeavesI've noticed some brown tips starting to show on my autoflower plant -- the Auto Blue on my page. I personally believe it's from overwatering barely, though I have solid air circulation and try not to water until the soil is truly dry. Any help would be appreciated!Leaves. Tips - Burnt

Is this heat light burn? HPS 600w at 20cmIs this light heat burn?? These are all buds at the top of the canopy and they are the ones nearer to the lights. I have 2x600w HPS, one with a cooltube and the other just with the wing. The possibly burnt buds are the ones under the wing (just 20 cm).Leaves. Edges burnt

First Grow Help And FeedbackHello Grower,
OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!Leaves. Tips - Burnt

Yellow / brown leaves tips; should I worry ?Hey ! My 3 plants (same strain) are showing yellow / brown leaves tips for a few days, and I'm not sure what it could be. I'm thinking mild potassium deficiency, or perhaps a bit too much nutes ?FYI, I'm strictly following Biobizz chart, every watering. Should I worry ? Thanks !Week 8
