Nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn?
TheNoobDudestarted grow question 5y ago
Unfortunately I don't have a ph meter, so my best guess is one or more of these problems: nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn.
The first 3 photos are from an Auto Northern Light and the last 2 are from an Auto Jack Herer.

A ph meter is an absolute must have. Without knowing the ph its all a giant gamble, you have no way of tracking ph shift, and thus have no way to accurately adjust ph. You can get a good meter on amazon for about 45 bucks. Happy growing.

Did i flushed too early??Hello guys i began to flush the roots, is it too early? May i feed them one more time? I care about different maturations, maybe the yellow one will need nutriments to continue??? Should i defoliate a maximum ? I surely did the mistake to follow the 6-8 weeks on zamnesia.com....4y ago

Early nute burn or normal?I apologize if this is a stupid question... I'm brand new
What is your guys opinion on this slight discolouring in the centre of the plant.
I'm not sure if this is a really really early nute burn, or if it's just a lack of ChlorophyllLeaves. Color - Yellow
