It is pulling elements it needs from the leaves as there is not enough for her at the root level.

Excess or Defiancy?
Some leaves from the top of my biggest plant, Frisian Dew, turn yellow and brown. The others don't show this behavior. The plant is in week 22 and still needs approx. 4-6 weeks until harvest. The plant pot is fully rooted up to the surface.

Not Nutrient Burn
Well I'm stumped...ppm 600, pH 5.9...it certainly looks like nutrient burn but it can't be, tips yellow then darken and curl and get crispy. 3 days between pics in question and in diary. My only guess is that I upgraded from knockoff 100W LED to Mars Hydro 150W. Any ideas?

Organic peat control
I think my plant is being eaten but gnats and it looks like nutrient damage on it but I haven’t given ANY nutrients to it. What should I do? Can you diagnose my plant? Any remedies? I heard cayenne pepper can be used for a pesticide is there other things? Does Neem oil work well?

Deficiency?
I laid off the nutrients last week after some concern that I was overfeeding, but I think that resulted in a deficiency. (Some of the darker colors might be related to the strain? 🤔) The third picture was taken 12 hours prior to the first two, so it progressed quickly overnight

Unser erster Grow! Wir haben Nährstoffbrand, wie schlimm? Was können wir noch tun? - Dünger: Canna Terra Vega - Erde: COMPO SANA Qualitäts Eerde - 50%
Vor genau einer Woche haben wir einen Nährstoffbrand festgestellt. Die Symptome waren zunächst eher schwach, mit einzelnen, gelb hängenden Spitzen. Nun sieht es so aus wie auf den Bildern. Haben bereits im nächsten Guss ohne Dünger mit ph 6,3 Wasser gegossen. Was noch tun?

Small brown points on older top leaves
1 week ago she started to get small brown points on older top leaves,and I moved her away from light to exclude light burn. Now there are a lot more of them. I flushed her 5 weeks ago, now she is getting full dosage of nutes. But these points look like nutrient deficient to me.

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.
Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?

Nutrient & critter problems need 1-2weeks from harvest need advice
The plant is a couple weeks of harvest but has some issues. (Some kind of nutrient lockout or deficiency can't tell what tho, pH is fine at about 5.8) And I got these annoying critters that seem to live on the soil (but aren't touching the plant) Any ideas on what to do ? :/

Heavy fast yellowing
I flushed my plant because of too high ppm reading from run off and now she seems to be going all yellow. Is this normal for this stage of the grow (all trichomes still white and small buds) or is this a definite nutrients deficiency during flowering?

Yellowing on leaves tips. Should I start feeding her?
Some yellowing appeared on the leaves this last day. Temps and humidity are controlled and ok. I haven't been feeding her, she has been growing on light mix for the past 25 days. Im thinking its time to start applying some nutes. Or could be something else? Thanks!
