Browning of leaves

hi there Habosabin, that's micronutrient deficiency, you're adding silica which is basically optional but you're forgetting calmag which is absolutely necessary in soiless grows. Just add calmag asap . Hope this helps ! 🚀

Should I remove foliage affected by deficiency, or just let it ride?Autoflower started showing sign of deficiency at week 8. Assuming CalMag, as I filter my water and affected area is new growth at top of plant (see pic).
1) Can someone confirm CalMag deficiency or something else?
2) Should I remove affected leaves or leave them be?

Discoloration 3 weeks into floweringDay 51 of my grow I'm starting to see some discoloration on otherwise healthy plant and I'm getting concerned. Most of the leaves of the plant are near the top. I cut back on my nutes on this last reservoir but the discoloring is still there. Any thoughts on what might be wrong?Week 8

Purple Queen show some spots on the leaves, what do you think it is?The middle plant show some spots on the leaves, what do you think it is? 😜 Note: I lower the PH in my autopot system to 6.1. Normaly my bat mix have enough nutrients for the first 6 weeks. The dark color is because of the higher PH > to much Nitrogen intake I think.Week 6

So at day 55 I'm noticing that some of my leaf tips are looking a bit burnt and some rust colored spots are showing up on the leaves. I read that this might a deficiency of cal or mag or a ph issue. Just wondering if any one could help my diagnose this issue and try to fix it.Week 8

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms.
I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day.
So please have a look and see if you know what might be happeningLeaves. Edges burnt
