Ph issue?
Hello, I'm getting a bit worried. I'm not sure does this yellowing happen because of my high ph? I think my soil have been moistured pretty long and wouldn't want to try lower their ph with water. Have anyone ideas what is the problem and how could I fix it? Thank you in advance!

Magnesium or Nutrient Burn or?
Magnesium deficiency, or nutrient burn or??? Only on the lower leaves so far, curling down was existing genetics - but the burnt tips are new and some have even curled up now. Probably 5+ weeks left so too early for natural dying off?

Deficiency, nute burn or under watering?
Let me know what you think please? Lower leaves on 4 out of 6 plants with yellow blotches appearing inside the leaf. Not on the edges. They just had 750ml feeding two days ago with guanokaong grow rec dosage. Today soil was bone dry so 1000ml water.

Deficiencies at Day 60 or natural, expected fade?
Does my girl look like she is suffering from a deficiency or is it a normal fade for day 60 since sprouting? What can I do as she definitely has a while to finish I feel? Any estimates on how much longer she has before getting close to chop? See most recent comment for details.

What’s wrong ?
This plant has displayed this yellowing in a couple of its older leaves. It hasn’t gotten better with the exclusion of nutrients it doesn’t seem to be hurting the growth of the plant as it has continued to grow over the past week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Can someone give me their opinion as to what deficiencies this girl is showing? She is getting super hungry and is very large. Coco is the medium and she only gets RO water, hardly ever above 1000 PPM. 6.2 is the PH. I am thinking Potassium Def

Yellowing leaves on bottom and middle
I am growing in organic soil and transplanted 3.5 weeks ago from .75 gallon pot to 2.5 gallon pot. I noticed some yellowing on some of the leaves, generally towards the bottom but a little in the middle. Is this a cause for concern or do some leaves natural die off?

Looks like a defficiency. But how?
Hi, I'm puzzled by this plant's behavior. It's being treated in the same way as others. And yet it's stunted and looks unhealthy. Can you please help identify, what's happening? All the info is in the diary. 1st photo is the plant I'm talking about, the other two it's sisters.

What do these yellow markings on the leave tips mean?
What do these yellow tips on the leaves mean? Are my lights to close? Looks like light burn to me and have adjusted the lights up 10cm for now. Still wanted to make sure since I thought they need more lights during flower. Thanks heaps
