21 days old in OF soil, you won't have any deficiencies, OF runs hot, but the plants should grow into it, as long as you don't add too many additional nutrients. Happy growing.

Burnt edges on oldest leaves
A diagnosis is needed. Could the Schultz Liquid Plant Food 10-15-10 be to strong for Phosphorus? 5 weeks old, transplanted into 5 liter container this week. Stopped giving nutrients last week.

* Spots (pic 4), on only 3 leaves of the plant at the top. Last week, before lights out, I misted. By lights-on time, some parts of the plant were still wet. Is this some water burn? Tap water is PHd and ~215 ppm (plenty ca/mg) * Any insight on those yellow tips is welcome! :)

Yellowing leaves.
Accidentally resolved my original question instead of liking a suggestion and I cant change it 😅 Same issue still applies for now. I have been testing the PH going in but not out so I will try this and pass on my results after the next water 👍 Open to all observations.

New growth with yellow on the leaf edges is spreading. I have moved the lites to 12", the only change has been from using distilled water for the 1st 3 weeks then started using filtered well water (high sulfur & iron content) Should I switch back? Where to buy?

What could it be?
I'm a relatively new grower and I don't have a diary setup yet. I know it's hard to diagnose a problem when there is no diary, sorry! They were good until they started to yellow. They are in their 5 to 6 weeks of flowering. Some are good some are yellow and I feed them the same.

Leafs yellowing
What can this be? It happened in 1 day. Is plant asking for nuts? I added only water for 4 days because i was afraid of been giving to much nutrients. Could be a pH problem?

Help! Lower fan leaves drying out slowly at the tips and edges. Doesn't look like nitrogen deficiency to me, but please prove me wrong!
10 days ago the lower set of leaves started drying out (they get brown not yellow). They don't receive light, but now it's already started showing on the third set of leaves. Does it look like nitrogen deficiency or can it be something else? Just gave it full strength nutes.

Found burnt leaves in all three plants. They are all from the bottom and fell from the stems. Not sure if it's a)lack of nutrients b)nutrient burn c)nothing wrong, just the normal process for shaded leaves. What do you guys think?

Saw a lot of yellowing in the flowers, not sure if its enough or too much nutrients, or not enough water or its a pest. I was suggested neem oil to get rid of the pest creating those white spots, any other suggestions about how to get her to look healthier and growing faster?
