Water on leaves. In one picture leaves are soaked. Light is magnified by water drops and then cools leaves in spots it sits.

It could be from nutrients touching the leaves when fed.

Look like nutrients have spilled on your leaves, causing a burn.

Possible manganese deficiency?
I fixed some previous issues and have not been feeding my plants. They are in peat and worm castings and pearlite. About 6.6ph soil, watering with 6.5-6.6 water. I am going to water with nutrients again to see if that helps just want to hear another opinion.

Brown patches on leaves, thought it was calcium deficiency symptoms.
Having problems with brown patches, (see last 3 pics week 10), a quick google and I went with adding more CalMag but it's got worse the further into flowering I go, the farthest behind plant has least, furthest ahead is worst, any ideas?, many thanks in advance :)

Should I cut these off ?
leaves are no longer crispy and dry but are still rapidly changing colour, not sure if I should cut them off or let them fall off themselves ? if I cut them off would it be beneficial ? not sure if the plants still putting in energy to keep these leaves on the plant or not ?

Nutrition deficiency or nute solution on leaves during watering?
Hi Growmies,during my monitoring routine I found some brown spots on the leaves. Not many but on some leaves the brown spots have become transparent and I can see through the leaves. Any ideas what could have caused the brown spots? Perhaps not enough CalMag? Rest looks healthy.

Leaf tips are browning
Ciao tutti, What is going on with these leaf tips? It’s the third day of their Flush & It can’t be NutBurn, or the color of tips doesnt look like NutDef! Is the light stress? If this de-coloring continues, will it effect the buds & final yield? Thanks

Look like Zinc and Calcium deficiency? Watering with 5.8/5.9pH, 2.06 EC (Runoff 5.8pH, 0.78 EC) Few leaves had small nutrient burn on the tips earlier this week. Nutrient burn appears to have tapered off.
