yellow leaf, brown spots deficiency
Beans416answered grow question 3y ago
Hey it looks like nitrogen deficiency. Buds are taking nitrogen from the leaves and not the soil.
Hope this helps happy growing.

Another thing to look at is where/what. Where/What leaves are affected. Old/bottom or new/top. My guess is N, P, and K, unless you have re potted recently.

Yellow ColourSome leaves have been turning yellow. Especially the lower ones.
I thought it was a nitrogen deficiency as I didn't give the plant any nutrients till 2 weeks ago. Now I am feeding her with Biobizz nutrients according to their table.
Should I be worried? Any recommendations?Week 11

yellow/copper appearance in some leaves after first run off wateringhi! after the first run off watering the girls seemed alright, sturdy and firm but some of the leaves (one leaf, 3 plants currently) experienced copper/yellow/orange tints .
this is only on old leaves so looks like mobile nutrients.
could this be cal-mag issues?4y ago

Magnesium or Nutrient Burn or?Magnesium deficiency, or nutrient burn or??? Only on the lower leaves so far, curling down was existing genetics - but the burnt tips are new and some have even curled up now. Probably 5+ weeks left so too early for natural dying off?Leaves. Tips - Burnt

Yellow leaf tips and edgesYellow leaf tips and margins… what do you think? Nute burn? Light stress? Cold stress?
Will this eventually resolve if I leave it alone and let it work itself out? (Which is what I’m inclined to do)
Should I flush my plants or try some other intervention?Week 8

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?Leaves. Tips - Burnt
