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

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?)

Leaves burn Hi! Is this nutes burn? Damage is on the upper/middle part of the canopy on very few leaves, but many more have black tips. I’m puzzled because during veg I was feeding the plant higher ppm than now and never had a problem!

My plant has mass nutrient burn on most of the leaves, I've flushed the roots. Is there anything else that can be done to help recovery or is it to late in flower. Also should I remove all the effected leaves or will they still convert energy for the plant? Thanks

problems with low leaves in the lower part of the plant some leaves are yellowing, others are drying out and even detaching. can it be due to the fact that since flushing (a week ago) I have not given anything to the plant anymore? I hope this does not compromise flowering

Brownish stains after transplanting What do you think this is? I have recently transplanted it outdoors. These stains appeared the day after. Might it be sunburn? What can I do if that’s the case?

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?
