I noticed this starting this morning, the pH was 6.3 and 210 ppm. The water was about 7-10 days old. So I figure water change time?

No your pH is too high. 5.8 is for vegging. Your ppm is pretty low. I start around 500 ppm,I also run first solution 3 to 5 weeks.

Leaf problem, insects ?Plant is approx 60 days old.
I have found and washed off what look like insect eggs under some of the leaves but have not seen any webs or moving creatures.
Is it insect damage or could it be fungus.
I have 2nd plant that seems unaffected.
Mainly lower older leaves affected.Leaves. Color - Mottling

Does anyone knows if should I flush the pot ahead of time to reduce nutrients levels?As you can see from last pic from week 6, I have used pre amended soil with 2.5 % of Nitrogen on dry mass. (sorry for the italian).
Should I flush the pot ahead of time in order to reduce nutrients level so to both solve the yellow tips problem and favour the flowering stage?6y ago

Leaf Tips Burnt: Flush or consider it a sweet spot and keep going?When leaf tips burn just a bit, is that a "sweet spot" meaning I am pushing the plants to the max, or is that already worth treating as full on lock out and needing a formal flush and straight ph'ed water till it resolves?Week 4

Calcium deficiency?So, 2 out of 6 are showing this, it looks like a nutrient deficiency, Calcium I'd say.
It's only present in one leaf on each plant, in the bottom.
I've got here CalMag ready to apply, just wondering if you guys agree with me :D
Thank you, and keep it green :D5y ago
