Late Flowering Stage Deficiency or Nutrient Burn I'm not sure if this is nutrient burn or some sort of deficiency. Burnt tips were from possible previous nutrient burn, but now I'm seeing Brown spots and some discoloration. Please check my week to see full details.

When should I put the pellet in the 5 gal pot??I am currently growing a tangie'matic with "a pot for pot" grow kit. At first the seed germinates in a pellet. Then it says "put pellet in 5 gal soil mix after 10 days or when the third set of leaves matches the second." I did it after 10 days and this happened.

Browning tips and lower leaves Some leaves have a little brown on the tips, and some lowest leaves are turning yellow then brown, although I have been looking it up and it seems to be normal? It's not nutrient burn as I haven't given any. Any clues on what it could be or if I should be concerned?

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?
