What kind of deficiency is this?
Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 4y ago
I believe this is potassium deficiency.
K deficiency causes internal temps of foliage to rise and it causes the protein in the cells to burn and degrade. Usually happens on the edges of the leaves.

Yellow tips on newer leaves. Nutrient burn or something else?I have noticed yellowing on the tips of newer leaves that seems to be slowly getting bigger. Nothing on older leaves. Start of Nutrient burn? I also have noticed some yellow/brown spotting on older leaves but that may be related to earlier PH flux that has since been fixed. TIA!Week 5

Light or nutrient burn?Ive been having yellow tips on the tops of both my plants for some time now, I already raised the light up a bit higher than the maximum height the manufacturer recommends, but Im still having the yellow tops. Could this be nutrient instead of light burn?6y ago

Bent and twisted leaves with brown marks in 3rd week of veg. What's wrong here? (I wrongfully tried to feed them nutes in the first week of veg)Hi Guys. 2 of 5 seedlings sharing the same reservoirs with water seem to have some issues because the leave tips bend downwards and they have some brownish marks on some leaves. These are 2 different strains, a fem and an auto. Got PH 5.7 and fresh water for 2 days now.Leaves. Curl down
