Nitrogen starts yellowing at the bottom, if you have abnormal growth or yellowing on new growth it would be calmag.

I can't see it clear on the photo. Make sure the PH pen is calibrated, also take a look at the new growth after you added the Calmag

Most likely nitrogen deficiency. I know nothing about hydro though, feed needs increasing if it's draining the leaves. It's basically eating itself to survive

Yellowing copper leaves late flower
Harvest is coming up soon and I have noticed some of my leaves mostly the bottom but some on top also have started to turn yellow with brown/copper spots. I believe it is cal mag deficiency, will this mess with my yield or quality of the bud?

Noticed these yellow spots this morning. Not sure if this is a nute deficiency, leaf septoria or too much light. My lights were pretty low as my tent isn't very tall. Have been watering at around 6.4 and recently started feeding a full dose of Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.

My Special Kush 1 is on week 5 of flowering. 4 days ago bottom leaves started yellowing, yesterday i watered and checked runoff ppm, which was 5000! So i decided to flush. Kept watering with tap water (PH 6.8 ppm 300) until my runoff water was 600 ppm. What your opinion about it?

I’ve got a little greenhouse grow (I think this is a seedsman lemon auto), but haven’t been able to give the plants as much love as I would have liked this year. I’m a bit worried about this one, any advice would be greatly appreciated if anything could be salvaged?! Thanks

End of leaves turning yellow after fimming (not so bad)
Hello guys, see the last picture, after my fimming, do you know if it's normal if the end of the leaves are turning yellow ? Or it is some stress ? (It's an auto) Thanks in advance ! 😀

Yellow tips
Dont know why but one of the girls is suffering from stress. I think this is the cause for the yellow tips or do you have a other opinion? I did LTS training every two to three days, maybe therefore? A other reason could be light burn. But with a distance of 50cm I dont think so

Yellow/Brown/Spotted/Crispy Lower Leaves
What is wrong here? Gave an extra dose of nutes but the problem only seems to be getting worse and spreading up the plant. Definitely effecting the bottom leaves more. Others said to just increase N-P-K ration, but this seems like something specific.

They are on the older leaves and they keep getting that faded yellowing starting from the tips. The pH of the run off is 6.43 and they havent been fed a round of nutrients in a week! I thought it was a cal/mag def but they haven't bounced back after a dose. Help please!

Yellowing leaves.
Is this a Nitrogen, Magnesium or Iron deficiency? I tried looking at pictures online, but they all look very similar. Or because of me under watering? I know I have not been giving them enough water. Growing outside in soil. Gave them nutrients 2nd of January.
