brown spots
kivza
started grow question 5y ago
I have since this week brown spots on the edge of the first two rows of leaves. I don't know if it is a deficiency or burns (I sometimes put a plastic bottle to protect from the wind) and my other two plants do not show any spots

Over watering with nutes or soil a little hot is bet.

Am I starving and dehydrating my plant, or cooking it with nutes and drowning it?
I was thinking the brown spots were nute burn so I've only been moistening the clay medium and little bit of starter soil with 6.5pH water. Of course the roots don't reach the dwc yet. Is my mistake in using no nutes? Is this plant under-nourished and thirsty?

I've been having this problem with the browning leaves on the bottom. 1. Every time i do DWC from seed, the picture as shown on Week#2 Day#11 happens. Why is that? 2. What do you think is causing the browned lower leaves? Is it calcium deficiency? Or potassium?

Bottom leaf turned yellow with brown on edge
Hello this is my first grow and had noticed a leaf turned yellow with brown spot on the edge. This is a northern light auto just kicking off with her flowering. I use advanced nutrients 3 in 1 micro grow and bloom and that's all I've ever used. I suspect a nitrogen deficiency...?

Leaf issues with 3 Pineapple Express Autos - is it burn or deficiency?
All 3 plants are having issues to the lower leaves. They are dried and brown blotches, brown edges of the leaves, leaves drooping off and curling down and brown. They switched to Canna Terra Flora two weeks ago - is this a over feed or deficiency?

Thoughts on leaf symptoms? The other plant in tent is doing same thing,but plant in other tent getting similar feed not. see diaries for more pictures
K deficiency? Hard to believe that can happen in 65-gallon pots.Are getting big though.New growth tips looked yellow,hit them with water-soluble K and the new growth edges seemed get green.Some toco-ing, humidity is kinda high. Too intense light(800 ppfd), not enough C02 maybe?

Is my plant giving a warning
I'm not sure if I have a problem or it's normal. Some tips show damage I think it was the light to close so I moved it back over 12 inches away. I am giving the bloom every other day but half of the water i give. No nitrogen is being given,hardly any ever she doesn't like it.
