@Dyus123
the diary says you are using soil? so if you have given too high a feed/ppm then use plain PH'd water to lower it if you underfed then remix the nutrients to a slightly higher ppm the next time they require watering .

Add nutrients to bring ppm up or add ph water to bring it down.

Intervenial chlorosis, thick wrinkled leaves. Ph imbalance or quantity of nutes? Will adding CaliMag back in help? Trying to avoid burnt tips issue
Hard water (7) lowered to 5.8. Last week: 1 gal 3 waterings, w FloraGro (2.5 ml), Micro (2 ml), Bloom (2.5 ml/), Hydroguard (2 ml). Last grow had burnt tips and possible N deficiency, so I was trying to avoid that. This week I've switched to GHE's schedule and added CaliMag.

Grey leaf tips
Booth plants are showing some kinds of burn and I am not sure if it is nutrient burn or light burn or if there is something missing. Looks a bit like MG deficite but shouldn't the plant take that from the soil in that state and age?

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?
So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Ppm in runoff higher than feeding
The run off ppm is around 500 and when I watered it it was around 200 ppm. Ph levels are fine. Does this mean it’s not getting the nutrients it needs? How can I solve this?

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?
A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).
