Is this a deficiency or light burn
Jayvostarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi all my other plants are perfectly fine except for this one it has brown edges on the leaves and has been growing the slowest out of all my plants and I was just wondering how I could fix this? I checked the run off PPM yesterday and it was 1100 so I flushed it and now its 700

You have more then one deficiency going on. Put the culprit behind these problems triggering them is root problems. Tell sign is all your leaves are wrinkled droop over. I would add hydroguard (eats root rot) and make sure that your watering right and ph is in check these symptoms will clear up

Seems like an Iron (Fe) or Magnesium (Mg) deficiencies - Interveinal chlorosis (green venation and yellow foliage with tip chlorosis and blotching on older leaves.
Try increasing your A & B fertilizers to about 3ml/l and check all of your fertilizers labels to see which one contains Iron and increase that by 50% (if it's either A/B/ or both then keep it on 3ml/l)
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Leaf tips are browningCiao tutti,
What is going on with these leaf tips?
It’s the third day of their Flush & It can’t be NutBurn, or the color of tips doesnt look like NutDef!
Is the light stress?
If this de-coloring continues, will it effect the buds & final yield?
ThanksWeek 12

Yellowing in the top?What's with the yellowing in the top? Is it normal? It's in a very nice soil mixture and I've fertilized it with Osmocote, a popular slow release fertilizer: https://icl-sf.com/mx-es/products/ornamental_horticulture/osmocote-plus-standard-5-6-a903226-15-9-12/Week 5

Burned upper leaf edgesHi!
Dark spots appeared on some upper leaves overnight.
I don't think this is the cause, but I did a pretty heavy defoliation the day before.
the spots only affects leaf margins and makes the tips curl up. The spots are brown, burned and slightly purplish.
what could this be?Week 5
