leaf tips are dying back, what is the cause for this?
gottagrowsometimeanswered grow question 3y ago
Hi. So, I seen u growing in soil..
When feeding with nutrients you aren't leaving any excess run off to be soaked up? If so. This might be the cause of it.
Your soil is too hot either way. I wouldn't hard flush. Just leave her eat out what's in the pot for the next wk.
When feeding with soil..
1 feed a wk is enough and you can then give enzyme feeds (no ec, r salts) but just the 1 feed a week..Good luck pal.

The tips turn brown because of nutrient burn. You use too much nutritions. This is just te very beginning from a nutrient burn so good that you noticed it early!
To solve this problem just cut back the nutrients to 75% from your last given dose. The tips that are brown will stay brown and won't recover. But when you cut back to 3/4 of the previous given dose the rest of the plant will stay green and the plant will not be harmed further by overfertilizing.

Nute Burn Plan. Lower light to 24 inches and turn on bloom switch. Flush soil with 8 litres of water (PH 6.5) per pot. Questions: will increasing the intensity of light increase plants ability to absorb nutrients, or simply stress them more? Is 8L water/ 10L pot enough to flush?Week 5

Possible P Deficiency?Hey everyone, hope all is well. I noticed these past few days some dark spots appearing on some of my higher leaves. From what I’ve read it looks like it could be a Phosphorus deficiency. Any ideas? It’s on two out of three plants of the same strain. All same feeding schedule.Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Deficiency?Hey everybody,
I’ve never really dealt with deficiencies in autos as most of my experience is with growing photos outdoors.
Does this look like a magnesium deficiency? These just appeared over night on just two of my larger growing white widow autos.

Yellow leaves - moby dickThe olders leaves started to die and to turn this yellow-brown color.
I thought it could be the temperature (I am about to receive my temperature hydrometer to measure that), or over/less watering, or nutrients.
