It could be light burn from getting wet while lights on.

Water on leaves while light is on can be magnified and burn leaves. I think you are having a potassium deficiency or your substrate ph is out of range

Is this nute burn or other deficiency? I did increase the feeding a bit. But also just came out of a calcium deficiency. Not sure if the one with brown edges was from before tho, I forgot to clip a couple leaves with brown spots

Brown spot on leaves I'm experincing a bad situation. Leaves are becoming brown in the margins and I can't understant exactly the cause. Probably there are more causes, some phosphorus deficiency caused by low temperature but I'm not sure that's the only diagnosis. Someone could help me?

What's wrong with lemon cheese? Is it overfed? Drain showed me 800 ppm and after flawless finish drain became 600ppm. Or is it my tap water (300-400ppm WITH FILTER)? Should i get reverse osmosis?

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?

Leaf tips browned. What nutrient problem is this?Leaf tips browned. And some signs of burn/discoloration at the leaf side edges. Do you think it's general nutrients overdose? I didn't increase my PPM for the last two weeks, so I don't think it is a problem... Or Potassium deficit? Or any other secondary nutrient deficit?

brown tips on some leaves 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?)
