One of my AKs is starting to show brown/rusty leaves...I'm thinking this could be a PH issue, I'll flush her out for the next week. What could be causing the issue?

Well, that pic specifically looks like it has some calmag issues. Probably some nutrient excess causing imbalance.

What is happening to my plants?
I had them in the terrace outdoors. Temperatures sometimes reach 40C. Lately more and more yellow leaves in the ABC have been showing up. In the other normal leafed plants crispy dried and brown leaves are showing. Now the ABC also is showing some dry leaves and yellow as well.

LEAVES AFTER FLUSH
When I flushed my plants all leaves went looking down as normal, but now that they dried they kept that shape and the tips that are really dry (due to previous overfert) are curling all weird...is it ever gonna go back to normal? Is it still good anyways?

Is this nutrient burn?
I'm pretty sure this is nutrient burn. Using hot soil with a bit of extra worm castings on the top layer. The pH was also too high (approximately 8) but has since been corrected (now 6). Next layer on top came in nice and healthy. Can someone confirm there's nothing to do here?

Burnt tips and bleach spots
Not sure why my tips are burnt or what is causing bleach/burnt spots. Light too intense? Nute burn?

What to do? Leaves are getting worse.
Had some light strain earlier on, but now im leaning toward a deficiency. Been feeding on a low-dose flora series schedule with clean ph water for every other feed. Just had clean water yesterday and nutes 3 days before. Dry out between feeds. Nitrogen? Calmag? Other?

Light stress?? Wilting leaves, shrivelled and burnt edges. See pics in last week.
Any idea what’s going on? Leaves are shriveled and wilting, as well as some burning at the edges? I’m guessing this is from light burn/stress as I’ve only watered and used very very little nuts so far. Lights were at 22 but now at 30. Temp is 24 w lights on, 55 humidity. C pics.

Potassium deficiency?
Shes got about 2.5 weeks left, at first I thought the leaf discolouration was natural as harvest approaches but the necrosis has me worried. My guess is K deficiency. I was about to start flushing, will she make it to the finish line ok or should I attempt to fix this issue?

Light burn?
My girls were doing great growing fast until they hit light burn. Growth was immediately stunted for days. I think I have my light problem solved for now, but how long should it be before growth ramps up again? Anything else I should do?

2 Yellowing Fan Leaves
I have 2 large fan leaves from the main cola turning yellow and 1 almost looks crisp or burnt on the edges. It is only 2 of the leaves and by my reckoning, they are 2 of the oldest leaves on the plant. From research, it could be the bump in nutes or water issue. Any ideas?

Started Flush - Rust color on edge of sugar leaves
So these are starting week 8 of flower - I just started flushing these- they’re in coco. Within the last day or so they’re developing these rust colored orange areas on the edge of sugar leaves. Is this just natural during flush with coco? Or what’s going possibly goin on? Thanks

Yellowish spots ? Magnesium Deficiency ?
I noticed that on some leaves (not the new ones) there were 2-3 yellowish spots. And on a large leave, a point that turns brown. I thought about a small deficiency in Magnesium?

1st time grower - nute burn? Lockout? Potassium def? Light burn? HELP PLEASE
Experiencing some deficiencies/light burn/heat stress. Says SSH likes hot/moist climate. Plants are planted in FFOF Soil, fed them 15oz of nutes yesterday. Using advanced nutrient systems, see above. Light is a SF1000 LED meant for a 2x2 tent. Would that burn them hanging at 20”?

Nutrient problem??? Excess or deficiency?
What do you think is the leaf issue? Open to second opinions. Most everything stayed the same, except: > increased water: 2L to 3L per 7 gal of soil > introduced a bloom booster > increased volume of worm castings, molasses, mycrobes and ethylene to the tea

Yellow/burned tips & curled leaves
I have an issue with some yellow/burned tips and curled leaves. I already suspect that mainly is from light stress but could also be a nutrient deficiency? I´ve raised the lights the max I can and keep it at 80% for 20 hours. Biobizz soil and nutrients. Thanks in advance!
