Leaves curling up and browning

Ituhitit

Oldest fan leaves are curling up and developing this brown/yellow color on petioles. What is it? I have 40W LED lights so maybe not light stress, monitoring PH, moisture at 50%, organic coco grow.

Looks like potassium burn, sometimes the older leaves suffer first, but the younger leaves will show burn too especially at the tips.

This is burning from feeding too much or too often............or both. Cut your nutrient strength in half, with the small lighting you are using, the plants can not use all the nutrients that you have been giving them. I would be giving them just plain water for the next 7 days, before resuming with feeding at half the strength you were giving them before. This will give them a chance to use up what has already built up in in the substrate before any new nutrients are added.

If it was heat or light, the leaves affected would be the top-most leaves... This is a phosphorus deficiency probably with a calcium deficiency to boot.... Make sure your pH is in a good range (6.0-6.5)... that's usually the cause of both although a nitrogen toxicity could also do it - but I'm not seeing evidence of that... Good luck!

Hola !!!! Las hojas de las plantas se cierran para no deshidratarse o por quemaduras. Controla la temperatura de tu cuarto y la distancia de la luz sobre tu planta suerte.
