brown tips on some leaves
handamanstarted grow question 5y ago
first week of flower, only one plant out of five affected, only couple of leaves close to the top affected (up to 5 in total) - my assumption is 1. too close to light (I have 40cm between 400HPS which seems enough), PH problem or deficiency (potassium?)

Hi mate, looks like a little heat stress. I'd lift the light an extra 10cm and see if she improves. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing...

Crispy dry margins on the upper leaves. Please see detailed pics through week 5 of flowering. Pics from different days are available.The younger plant was showing what I thought to be P and K deficiencies on the leaves. Growth stopped too. Increased its nutrient amount 3 days ago (bloom-grow-acti). Since then I observed some bud growth but the problem on the upper leaves continue. Any ideas?Week 5

Please take a look at the last photo of week 10, the close up of a cola. Does this appear to be the start of a K deficiency? There is tip burn on some of the plant as well. Refer to my notes with watering issues for past 2 weeks. All nutes listed ph ppm are correct. Thanks!!Week 10

Brown spots and brown tipsHello. First time grow. I am seeing brown spots and brown tips on leaves. The spots are only on a couple of older leaves. Brown tips on most other leaves. It is a gorilla glue auto in soil. I suspect nutrient problem, but would like other opinions.Leaves. Edges burnt

Browning/Yellowing tipsBoth of my GSC's are suffering from browning/yellowing tips? will they recover? is this because of heat stress, nitrogen deficiency or over-watering? or something else?

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency?
This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!2y ago

Why is the tip of my leaves burned? Happened on two out of three plants – Perlon Lightmix – After 10 days: 0.75ml Alga GrowMy Green Gummy Auto has a problem. I feel like it might be nutes burn, but unsure. Grown in a garden and windowsill. In addition to the nutes mentioned in title, added 1mL or Sensi Bloom A&B and 0,75mL of Bud Candy two days ago. Received 5 hours of sun for 2 weeks, and 10 today.Leaves. Edges burnt
