Possible overfeeding nutes?
Could someone possibly identify the issue on that one leaf? I had another like that a bit worse that where the edges started to curl. They were fan leaves so I ended up removing them as they were a bit worse off. Doing much better now, only guess is too much nutes.

Is the Durban Poison doing alright? The leaves are quite dark compared to the other varieties. My guess it's either a difference in the variety, or a nutrient issues.

Leaves are getting dark
Leaves are getting a little dark and cotyledon seems a little sad. I suspect it is caused by not watering her enough (i was only spraying her with water the first 4days) Any advice?😀

Hi Growers, my tent has recently hit some low temps at about 15 degrees lights off, I have now improved the temps by a few degrees to about 17 at lights off. Purple is showing on my stems probably caused by cold but purple also showing on the back of leaves? Should I worry?

Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )
First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared. Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.

Seeing some top bud leaf discoloration
Starting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves. Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves. Could it be signs of anything else? Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity

Phosphorus deficiency?
Does this look like early signs of a phosphorus deficiency? I just gave her her first feeding of p/k boost last night. Should I have started that earlier?
