Looks like a bit of nutrient burn. If the new growth looks ok don't pay it no mind unless it looks to be spreading. ๐ค๐ค

Hello, From my little experience, i think it's due to an overuse of nutrients. You just have to adjust using plain water or giving less nutrients. Good luck ๐๐พ

I think underwatering combined with the light being close has caused my issue. However older leaves have also dried up and died (but staying green). The way the leaf looks with yellowing though, and because a couple of leaf stems are turning reddish, maybe it's K deficiency?

Iโm at week 6 day 6 of flower on my ssh. I noticed some leaves turning yellow. I think itโs too early for them to show their fall colors as this is a 9-12 strain. My ph is always 6.4-6.8. My runoff ph is 6.6 always.I did move my lights down and just raised them. Iโll post photos

What to do? Leaves are getting worse.
Had some light strain earlier on, but now im leaning toward a deficiency. Been feeding on a low-dose flora series schedule with clean ph water for every other feed. Just had clean water yesterday and nutes 3 days before. Dry out between feeds. Nitrogen? Calmag? Other?

Heatlight stress?
Can someone tell, are these brownish tips the sign of the heat stress or something else? And how bad is that for the plant's not so distant future? She grows indoors. Peak DLI was almost 60 but very briefly about one night. Now it's dimmed to 40dli/~600ppfd/ 20/4 schedule.
