Hello this yellowing is caused by your leaves touching the soil so just remove soil under these leaves or cut them to not have this problem again. So don't worry too much it will be fine. Good luck. Bye

That is most likely caused by the leaves touching the soil. Especially in lights out. If it doesn't spread up the plant you will be fine.👍

Lower leaves turning yellow and getting crispy
Lower leaves are still turning yellow/brown. See photo. A couple weeks ago I got a greenhouse to protect the plant from the rain. Outside temperature has been lower and there hasn't been much sun (mostly clouds) so I don't think heat is a problem anymore. Don't know the pH. Help!

So plants are looking good except for the Blueberry Autoflower, the leaves are twisting & overlapping & most are turning yellow, I know yellow usually means nitrogen deficiency but it shouldn't be with the nutrients it's receiving, anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Do I have an Iron Deficiency, if so How do I increase Iron levels (Already using Calmag)
I think I have an iron deficiency. New Growth is appearing yellow. HYDRO Rain water - (20ppm) PPM 750-900 (just upped) Canna Aqua A+B Calmag (0.35ml/L) PH was 6.2 (as there was a calcium deficiency so I raised it slightly) PH is now 5.8 (I read lower PH is better for Iron Intake

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?
Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!! I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?

Calcium Deficiency ?
Got a little deficiency, can't find what it exactly is. Maybe a cause of this problem is that they got 3 days of nonstop light because I fucked up with the timer just before leaving house for 3 days

Tip burn yellowing
I thought I had the leaf tip burn and curl handled but it’s really never subsided. My temps are 76 at hottest and humidity around 45 to 55. 1 out of 3 plants shows no symptoms but it’s the least mature. I was trying to flush but that seems to not help. Idk anymore, help!!

Leaf Diagnosis
Could someone help diagnose this leaf problem. It's less than 2 days old. Aañnnnnd, 2 days ago I accidentally set the ppm to 1700? I've since dumped the solution and got it back down to around 700 ppm. I'm hoping someone give me some triage pointers. Should I trim those leaves?

What's Happening to my Glookies? Lower Growth Yellowing with Grey/Light Brown Spots.
Yellowing with grey/light brown spots occurring on the Glookies plants (starting from the tip of the leaf). I believe it may be due to the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mix but any advice or input on what is possibly happening is greatly appreciated. Fingers also fused together.
