This usually happens towards the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. Especially if you just began flushing your ladies this means they're starting to use any stored nutrients in the leaves causing them to turn red/yellow. Perfectly normal!

Bruising or nute problem?I do not have enough characters here, please check diary for details. Some tops are showing some problems. The thing is, only a few and it does not seem related to light distance. My first thoughts is this is bruising, but I would like some more expert opinions.

dying top fan leaves All of my 3 plants are receiving the same treatment but one of them is showing signs of distress. Some of the top fan leaves are getting dry and brittle and dying. I thought perhaps the problem is I haven't been allowing enough run off?

Pale green leaves with reddish tips?Stress at the top of the canopy. Is this heat stress, light burn, or a combo? Something else? Temp in the tent hit 92.5 F at one point, but it's been high 80's in the tent and the leaf surface temp's have been low 80's. Light was 14 inches at one point but now 24 inches

Brown leaves and red stems. Is this a calcium deficiency ?I had an iron toxicity recently that may explain the brown parts but it may look like calcium deficiency. There are many red stems too but it maybe something else like the bad Ph and overfeeding from the previous month. What do you think ? Thanks !!

Red petioles, everything else good Hi! :) Does anyone have suggestions on the red petioles? They all turned red in flowering week 3, also the lower ones. I removed the secondary shoots and some leaves lately. Nutrition should be plenty, soil pH and EC are normal. temps are normal, humidity in a perfect range...
