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

Parts of leaves going pale aka light green
Hi guys, parts of some leaves of different strains start to go pale aka light green. I had an issue with ppm which I lowered to half of it, now it got back up again. The strains are almost ready to harvest. Should I worry about them or just not give a damn anymore? Arigatou!

Can you check my leaves and tell me what it could be missing?
I am afraid that something is off. Hope its just the Sativa part in the plants, or the 15 liter are to little to keep them for such long veg.

Cal-mag deficiency?
Hi guys, I think it's magnesium deficiency (early flowering). I have also noticed a few small burnt spots on the leaves. Is this time for cal-mag? Or am I reading this wrong?

How can I recover from nutrient lock and bad pH soil. I never pH my water and found out that my runoff is now pH 7.5. I am not able to lower my soil pH.
What else can I do to recover from bad pH watering habit and nutrient lock for my two months old photoperiod. Already flushed the plant, has been about 7 days and it still doesn't seem to look promising. 7 days since flushing I watered with compose tea (700ppm / pH 6.0) once.

orange sherbet crispy leaves. Close to harvest
Fastbuds Orange sherbet first grow. I already harvested this plant but I’m curious what the issue was. The leaves were yellow and crispy to the touch. Other leaves looked fine. 2.5oz harvest but it dried really fast(7 days) and now smokes harsh. Don’t want to repeat this mistake.

Nutrients burn?
So these spots showed up all over my girls over night, i fed them a little over double the amount of nutrients that i had last week ( 15ml Nut/ 4L water) which i'm thinking may have been my mistake. Should i be worried? Anything i should do?

Leafs losing Color, die off.
I could really use some help recognizing if and which deficiencies the Super Skunk has. It's currently growing in an organic soil that's been pre-fertilized and should be enough to complete the cycle. The temperatures are around 23c (73,4F) day and 19c (66F) night.

HELP—Trained eye needed for a nutrient deficiency diagnostic!!!—HELP
Can anyone help me with diagnosing what appears to be a nutrient deficiency? I used Jobe's fertilizer sticks (13-4-5) [I know, horrible stuff but its all I could get for the next two weeks] which I diluted to 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 of the recommended amount as per label. CHEERS!
