You should take care of the heat issue. The other leaves will have the same issue.

Sudden Leaf Yellowing – Lighting Issue or Something Else?Hello! Yesterday, I noticed the top leaves turning slightly yellow, but today it looks dramatic. Check the pictures—leaves are yellowing and drying out rapidly. It’s only affecting the central leaves, so I suspect a lighting issue, but I’d like to confirm before taking action.

Lower leafs getting yellow tips and spots I just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake. They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.

I use the Fecida 600 lamp 16/8 day/night. Does someone know what could cause the curling of the leaves?

Curled leaves and brown spots Please help! My Acapulco Gold suddenly showed leaf symptoms today. Shouldnt be a lock out, I always water with drain and use lower doses than the BioBizz chart recommends. Used Molasses two days ago, could that be the cause? Its the only plant that shows this signs.

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

Too Much Light?Top looks yellowish, more so IRL than in the pic and the new growth is kinda taco-ing. Just under 24" from the light, 78F and using Photone the DLI was at ~30. I don't really trust that app but if it's even sorta accurate, 30 might be high with no CO2? says their charts anyways.
