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?

low pH problems
I discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days. yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?

I found out my tap water was 9.8. I'm about to water tomorrow with PH adjusted water, I just didn't know whether or not that could be the issue with the tips turning yellow? Bigger plant now too,just not as bad Basically will the soil adjust since it's a premix in between 6.3-6.8

Suddenly, massive problems. Tried a lot already, nothing helped yet. Any ideas what I'm missing?

Nutrient lockout or deficiency
Die unter Planze im Bild ist seit ein paar Tagen hell obwohl ich letztes mal schon mehr gedüngt hab. Habe mit EC 1.5 / Ph 6.2 gegossen. Im runoff kam Ec von 3.5 raus, es war aber nur sehr wenig runoff deswegen find ich 3.5 eigentlich in ordnung. Blatt spitzen sind aber auffällig.

Weed doctors to the rescue
Day 44, fb auto, my happy girl developed those dark spots at the top... Is this a Calmag deficiency? Although I'm giving her calmag every feeding. I think there are also first burnt tips. I'm about to water her tonight, what should or should not give her? Thanks for your inputs🙏

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.
I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency? This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!
