Absolutely nutrient burn related. I agree with high roller. Water only next few times then dial back on the nutes some.

What’s going on here?What’s going on with this one bud on Cotton Candy Kush plant? It has some leaves dying. No damage to the stem & only bud looking this way. It’s on day 50 of flower and has been getting lighter leaves overall this week. It’s supposed to flower 50-60 days, according to the breeder.

Defoliate lack-of-water damaged leaves?Should I defoliate the remaining primarily yellow-brown, water stress damaged leaves on the hulkberry, or are they functioning and contributing to the growth of the plant and not harming it?

Yesterday i see new yellow leaves (plant 2). I have just checked them again and on the second plant the two small leaves are now brownish. What could that be? I water every two days and the soil is not wet but slightly moist. The other plant 1 grows wonderfully.

Yellow leaves Hi guys, unfortunately because of an emergency I had to leave my 2 babys with some friends for three weeks. At the bottom some yellow leaves and like burning signs. I don't think it's because of over nutrition. They didn't get any for three weeks. Might be not enough nutrient?

Defoliate yellow leaves?Should we remove these large yellow crusty leaves near the soil? The plants are at about day 38. I've heard people say you shouldn't defoliate this early in flower. Should I be concerned about these leaves dying off or is this normal?

Yellowing plants Based off week 2 day 7, does this look like an over watering issue or something else? This was the first watering where I soaked their containers. While they were in solo cups I tried to keep watering volume low.
