answered grow question 5y ago
Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

LEAFS DYING
The edges of the leaves are dry and black. Every single point of the leaf is burnt(black) or yellow...even some edges on the leafs of the coal are burnt. I guess it’s overfert...but I just flushed. Is it Ph? I haven’t checked in awhile. Is it they ready to be cut down?

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)
I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

What the actual heck is going on with these leaves
Leaves from all around the plant are showing these symptoms. Much more detailed info in grow diary but current runoff ec is 1.7 and problem is spreading quite badly.

In the 3rd photo in week 12 there is spotting on the leaves. Does anyone have an idea of what that is from? A deficiency? I had trouble getting the nutrients right and that showed up first after I flushed for a few days.

Problem with plants in the 3rd week of vegetation.
I'm posting again because I accidentally marked it as resolved. I was using BioBizz CalMag from the beginning, but when I switched to Advanced Nutrients, I stopped because Ph Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A and B already contain CalMag.

Gray leaves on buds with a massive concentration of trichomes. What is it?
No clue what this is. Light gray leaves, tons of trichomes. I'm a bit confused here. Should I just cut the buds that look like this to be safe? Or is this normal?
