Hey dude, based on the photos it is certainly plausible that this is heat stress. If you’ve already moved up the light then this issue may rectify itself shortly. It’s often a common symptom of root issues too like binding or overwatering. She’s in a 5gal so binding is unlikely at this point. If you find that the medium is always moist when you’re watering then try letting it dry out a little longer. Other than that, think you’ve probably diagnosed your issue already👍. Good luck

Yellowing, curling tips?I'm in the middle of week seven and noticing significant yellowing, curling tips, especially on the top colas. Is this cause for concern and what could be causing? Feeding low-dose (1/4-1/2 tspn/gal) of dyna-gro bloom and the plant is growing in MG soil. I know, rookie mistake

Sudden Leaf Yellowing – Lighting Issue or Something Else?Hello! Yesterday, I noticed the top leaves turning slightly yellow, but today it looks dramatic. Check the pictures—leaves are yellowing and drying out rapidly. It’s only affecting the central leaves, so I suspect a lighting issue, but I’d like to confirm before taking action.

Over watering?Dude, what's the problem with this girl? The transplant was done 1 week ago because the pot was small. But since then the leaves have always seemed curled and dry. Could it be above water? The top and edges of the pot are dry but around the root ball is moist.

Do I have an (Mg) issue?Leaves turn light, have black spots and 1 leaf rolls in upwards. It got Epsomite with every watering so I guess it's not a deficiency. Last time there was not even a drain. So maybe nutrient absorption is blocked? Should I flush? Is it to stressfull for this autoflower?
