Your lamp to plant distance is fine. Therefore I'm guessing it's a slight over feeding. Reduce your nutrients slightly, no need to flush its not that bad. Make sure you are not over watering and ph is all good as these can also cause certain nutes to lock out.

Yeah, seems to be just a slight overfeed, kick back a lil on the nutes and they will be fine.

Yellowing on leaves tips. Should I start feeding her?Some yellowing appeared on the leaves this last day. Temps and humidity are controlled and ok. I haven't been feeding her, she has been growing on light mix for the past 25 days. Im thinking its time to start applying some nutes. Or could be something else? Thanks!

Beginning of week 8. Deficiency? Nute lockout? Normal for this stage of its life?Beginning of week 8 and her leaves are showing more spots and discoloration everyday. Is this normal for an Auto in the late stages of flower? Or do I need to feed more? Maybe a flush? This strain says she takes about 10 weeks start 2 finish.

Possible nutrient burn ?I’m pretty sure this is nutrient burn but it’s weird because I’ve only given a tiny dose of nutrients so far. Less than a quarter of recommended dose and probably less than I’ve ever given an auto before. What do people think ? Nutrient burn ?

What gave this? Light excess or nutrient burn or lack?I had this symptom from the beginning, stable, I didn't worry too much. What could be the reason? How to avoid this in the next grow. I mean, it's minor, but might be better to attend and unleash a better result. I have this on all buds, on canopy it comes with curly leaves.

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 !
