Hi.
Brown leaves: Could be a sign of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, manganese deficiency. Could also be nutrient burn (more solid brown colouring) or heat stress (brown on the edges)
Leaves droop: Could be a sign of overwatering
Leaves curl downwards: Could be a sign of potassium or phosphorus deficiency, or overwatering
Maybe this will help.

EC of the soil is too high, NaCl is raising up and pH is dropping. First symptoms of too many nutrients. Rinse the pot, give it a lil flush. I suggest you to get an EC meter and control the drain.

Have limited information but I am gonna go with a ph that is out of range in substrate. What is your runoff ph. And you are running pretty heavy on nutrition as well. Possibly too much water. Is what I see in the picture.

Could someone help me to identify the issue my plant has?This girl isn't looking healthy anymore and I need to figure out why. What I did: I topped her pretty early but she recovered well (you can see it in my grow diary). A week later I transplanted her from 0.5L pot to her final autopot 14L. After that she had a hard time recovering.Leaves. Color - Yellow

First time growing/Need help in late flowerOver the last 9 days my plant has gone from happy and healthy to sugar leaves pointing straight up near the top of plant and drying and curling up on the lower levels. Is this from too much light or did I over feed late in flower? First grow/ no diary. Can I save or do I chop?Leaves. Curl up

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors?
I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐3 months ago

help in Hydro RDWC/DWCHello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds
They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?Leaves. Curl down

I'm not worried at this point, just really want to know what's happening3 months ago

could this be due to the PH being too low?I watered 3 days ago with PH 6.3 Ruoff was 6.0
today watered with PH 6.6 runoff was 6.1
Can the brown spots come from the wrong PH ?
