Overwater or nutrients?

HeavyHeadstarted grow question 5y ago

Was away for a week so left my plants on a drip system with fresh water, came back to this. In foxfarm blend of OF/HF. Repotted a couple days before I left on the worst one so possible nutes burn? About to flush and do runoff test.

Deficiency or screw up?What is this? At first I thought it was a phosphorus deficiency so I flushed with extra bloom nutes & overnight the damage doubled. Is it a pest or did I just fuck up bad? She also has seemed to have stopped growing. No noticeable diff in size recently

Whats going on?So.. 6th week into it. My leaves have various brown spots and yellowing spots in no particular spot. There is some browning on leaf edges. Also tips are up. I am thinking cal mag and to much heat. But not sure. I lifted light up and so far nothing. Also started adding cal mag .

N issues This girl suffered from N deficiency very early. So I gave it nutes. Nutes gave it N toxicity. So I flushed the soil with ph’ed water. You guessed it, it’s lacking N now. The problem is the pot is still very yet and heavy so I don’t know if I should water with nutrients

PH measuring for Organic Growers If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
