Could well be a potassium deficiency appearing or some lightburn as it is quite even and uniform.

Can anyone identify what is happening with the lower shade leaves? A progressive, patchy paleness, from the spine of the leaf outwards and sides of leaves are cupping downwards. I gave cal/mag twice through the week along with bloom nutes. Is this a deficiency, small container..?

Weird growth
I’m having some weird growth with a lot of the plants in the 7 gal pots. Lots of yellowing almost pale and everything is growing a bit weird. It’s been getting insanely hot the past week but not sure if that’s the cause.

Today is the end of day 7 since she broke ground. I've been using distilled water and the ph seems good. I added 1.25 ml and now The ppm is at around 38 ppm. Are the tips of the new leaves supposed to be that light green or are they getting burned?

Ripple leaves, is it a problem?
This plant has not been growing as fast as I expected, she started with 3 branch nodes, switched to 4 branch nodes, then topped herself, now I have taken all of the bottom sucker branches off. she IS a little soaked, so maybe its over watering? but what do the ripples mean?

She has yellowing and dying leaves issue for a while now. I was giving more nutes lately to combat the issue. Now burnt tips say it is to many nutes. So I decided yesterday that I should water with a bit of calmag before next feeding at beggining of the week.

Leaves turning brown/purple
The leaves on one plant started to turn a little pale, and with brown/purple spots. And on the other plant it starts to turn more yellow, probably Nitrogen deficiency for this one. What do you guys think ?

Is this considered as pale green due to insufficient nitrogen?
This as a Cinderella Auto at day 34. I use mother earth's terracraft soil in a 2 gallon container. I feed her only Growth Technology Root Ultra from the beginning and add 0-5-4 tripart bloom for the last 2 feeding. Should I feed her nitrogen considering she is flowering?

Crispy leaves on some lower fan leaves (day after increasing light strength)
What do you think the crispy leaves were caused by? Too much light? Had the light at 200ish watts, (45%) and turned it up to 80% (also raised the light up 4 inches) a day ago.

Top canopy getting lighter in color
Lower canopy is green, top canopy is getting lighter in color. ChatGPT said that 1300ppm in the water was too high, gave them 3L without nutes the next feeding, my ai Assistent said, that it is a sign that nitrogen and Calcium are depleting quicker, opinions? Want 2 bloom soon!

The plant that stays in the center is having some problems. Sugar leaves are curling down and have brown-yellow spots, they also seem very dry (see the photos) . Only this plant is having those problems, what could it be?

Seem to have a deficiency I am unfamiliar with. As you can see in picture 5 the leaf is changing colour to a light green, in the part of the leaf that is light green is very crispy and crumbles when you touch it.

Seedling curving down and turning pale green
The leaves of my two seedlings are curving down and it turns a little bit palw green. I think I overwatered the first days, but now it looks like the substrate is really dry (I didn't watered the last 2 days) but I'll wait a little more. So is it the problem or I miss something ?

my leaf are really clear
the temperature is very high do you think I should open my tent more regularly at the risk of dropping humidity and watering more regularly ? the temperature rises to 30 degrees because I leave the tent closed but do you think it's preferable to open it more

Colore foglie
Ho notato uno strano colore delle foglie della piantina di cheese, avete qualche consiglio di cosa potrebbe trattarsi? Le altre piantine sembrano andare molto bene, e do loro la stessa soluzione e la stessa quantità di acqua.
