Maybe she is telling you to feed her. How much are you feeding and how often ? She seems huge. Maybe she is asking for food.

Is this an auto? I can’t see a diary so I’m going to say microbial tea with worm castings for a few days and move to bloom nutrients

I assume she's on bloom nutes? She looks like she's terribly hungry... I'd increase her nutes and add a bit of calmag once a week... Good luck!

Balcony Auto Gelato with Yellow and Brown Leaves
I'm growing this auto gelato in a balcony safe from rain fall and harsh wind, it's the 25th day and the bottom leaves and cotyledon are turning yellow and with some brown traces. I started to use minimum amount of "all in one" fert. Do you think it is overfertilization issue?

Issues with leaves. Day 90 total, 30 of flower. Leaves have been getting more and more yellow the past week, with progressively more brown tips.
Vpd has been pretty close to ideal, the pot had 1 gallon less soil so could be missing out on some nutrients? Possibly Potassium? Otherwise not sure what it could be. Does not appear to be N deficiency because the leaves are affected from the top too. What should I do to fix this

Dead spots on leaves
I've been struggling with same problem from beginning of grow, leaves having these dry yellow/white spots. The first week I used too high pH which later I replaced by rainwater - new leaves were healthy, but last night I left tent at 70% RH. Somehow it returned - details in diary

Yellow tips
New grow, new leaf colours! I think it could be over feeding, but would like to see peeps opinions if possible. Have stuck to the feeding schedule, but the fabric pots might be making things more complicated somehow?

Nutrient Lockout or Nitrogen deficiency (i.e need more nutes) or Fungus (see stems)
My leaves are yellow but some are turning green. Do they need more nutrients or lockout? I have not gone above 1EC but have seen both strains handling 1.5EC+ in other diaries. All three plants are drinking the water in trays. Res/Tray@ 6.0PH/653PPM. Coco slurry @6PH/500PPM

Surplus or deficiency?
Can't tell if there's a surplus of nutrients or a shortage of potassium? One plant looks like nitrogen burn and the other two look like theyre maybe a little k deficient. Was thinking of chilling out on the feed on the burnt one and just feeding micro to the other two. Thoughts?

Hi every1👽😌Started week 7 of flowering today. How do they look to you? Is there anything I should pay special attention to? I think I may have overfed or overwatered them last time - I’m not sure which one - which could explain the leaf damage. What do you guys think overall?

Burnt tips and yellowing leaves
About two week ago, lower leaves started yellowing, and I saw burn leave tips, so I suspected nutrient burn. I only watered with tap 6.5 pHed water since, but the burnt tips and yellowing are getting worse continuously. At least 3 largest lower leaves died off over the period.

Nutrient & critter problems need 1-2weeks from harvest need advice
The plant is a couple weeks of harvest but has some issues. (Some kind of nutrient lockout or deficiency can't tell what tho, pH is fine at about 5.8) And I got these annoying critters that seem to live on the soil (but aren't touching the plant) Any ideas on what to do ? :/

Burning Edges/Yellowing and Drooping?
The yellowing has gotten worse and I'm noticing slightly burnt tips/edges and some droop. Could this be burn/deficiency or over/underwatering? A combination? Is there anything I can do to fix this early or is it just a matter of giving them some time and less nutrients? Thanks!

Flush or what to do ?
Advice please. I watered yesterday but the stains on the leaves are getting worse. Now I don't know if it is deficiency of cal n mag due to nutritient lock out which might be due to ph being off as I have 5 reders and all of them show a different thing. 🤦♀️...or it is it rust?
