Is this light burn?
Is this light burn? If not what is it? It's under a Phillips 13w household led 2700k bulb, it's not the only affected area but it's the most affected and the closest to the bulb. I plan to add more but don't want the issue to accelerate. Thanks in advance!

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?
Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

Flowering seems to be going well, but there has been some minor yellowing and browning of the leaf tips. Leaves otherwise seem healthy. Any ideas if this is a water issue, nutrient issue, or just a normal part of the plant's stage?

Your opinion?
Today flushing the wedding cake i was thinking that the problem was an excess of nutrients, but instead water was quite clean, around 1100ppm at the first drain, after several flushes water is now on 600ppm. I also raised the lights.. I still do not understand 🤔

First grow, random seed, no idea if it’s auto or not, and wondering if I’ve over fertilized.
Hello grow masters! I’m on my first ever grow, and on a slim budget. After buying some equipment, I decided to try to germ some old, random seeds to start, and buy good feminized seeds when I have more cash. 1 female worked out, but no idea of strain or if auto or not. Is it ok?

Yellow Tips
Hey all anyone knows what this can be? She had trips and I put to much neemoil on the leaves that's why she looks like this with the leaves. But since last week the tips from the top started to get yellow. I didn't use nutes till now and I dimmed the light to 60% / 70cm distance.

How to handle minor nutrient burn?
I have some minor nutrient burn forming and am about to trust a friend with feeding her for a week. Do I have them just do ph balanced water? Or a lesser dosage? I don’t want to have them feed nutrients unless y’all think it’s absolutely imperative.

Dealing with Nutrient Burn and Salt Build-Up
I've observed salt build-up and nutrient burn in my plants recently. I've taken action by flushing and removing 60% of the affected leaves. Now, I'm considering whether to remove the remaining affected leaves and when to proceed with top dressing. Please advise.

Mein aktuelles Tagebuch zur Pflanze ist auf meine Profil. Ich habe nun seit ein paar Tagen an neuen Blattspitzen leicht verbrannte Anzeichen und bei manchen Blättern hängen die Spitzen sogar runter. Ich kann eigentlich sagen es ist keine Überwässerung oder Nährstoffüberflutung.

Yellow leaves black tips
What’s happening with this plant? After watering all my plants 2 days ago, one of them has been quite droopy and developed these yellow areas with dark tips. Is it a watering issue / heat / deficiency? Thank you
