Looks like you have or had a calcium deficiency. When you grow under led lights the plants need more calcium. Best of luck the rest of the way.

Why are the leaves tips curling dying and brown marks appearing?
My Mac #1 showing brown spots/marks on leaves, with tips curling and dying yellow/brown - what is the problem? How do I fix this? She is in week 5 flower. Is it calcium deficiency? pH problem?

Dark dots in leaves. Lamp burns?
I saw this dark dots in leaves but only she has it. She was exactly under spider-farmer sf1000 at 30 cm. Now I moved to other softer light at 40 cm. What do you think? Lamp burns? They're dry and curl up. Some images are edited for better appreciation but you have also originals.

Leaves keep turning brown and yellow
It all begann with what I thought was light burn. I then considered it CalMag deficiency. Giving it CalMag did not stop it. My current guess is too low pH due to strip inaccuracies, so I gave it around 8 today instead. What do you recon, why could it keep getting worse?

My leaves on plant getting yellow at week 4. Gave her a flush for a few days with a pH of 6.0 but the run off stayed at 4.8. continued flushing with a high pH of 8.0 then the run off went down to 5.8. I did add peat moss to my Coco/perlite. Could that cause the pH to be low?

Brown spots with slight yellowing
Hello gromies. I'm seeing some slight yellowing and brown spots on my fan leaves. I've been bottom feeding so maybe it's a lock out issue with calmag. I flushed with tap to get some run off. Any suggestions?

Chewed up leaves
Wondering if I should be concerned? They have just entered flowering, I have noticed a few leaves bearing this issue. I use ties which have ripped some leaves due to me not being gentle, and I spray a mild cannacure solition regularly.

Discoloration and burnt edges on leaves
Can someone please help me diagnose this problem? At first I thought it was root dry spots from the drip watering system but it’s gotten worse. The bottom leaves are yellowing and the edges are burnt with a hole in one of the leaves. Anything helps, thanks!

They were slightly overwatered, the soil PH of 7.1 to 7.3, lacking phosphorus, maybe magnesium to. Branches from the sides are stretching, but I noticed thet lower leaves started to turn yellow a little at both. If anyone knows good advice to help them out, I would be grateful.😅
