Leaves with a potassium deficiency get yellow, brown, or burnt edges and tips. The burnt edges may look a little like nutrient burn, except the affected leaves also start turning yellow in the margins. Yes to much can actually lockout nutrient intake. Flush with pH water and resume but go easy on feeding

Suddenly, massive problems. Tried a lot already, nothing helped yet. Any ideas what I'm missing?Hey guys, I've been growing for a few years now and something like this has never happened to me.

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?Leaves. Edges burnt

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!a year ago
