Started to see nutrient burn. How long or how many...
Chayton_elegantbuds420answered grow question 6y ago
I had the same problem too.
now I give my plants 2 times water with the right ph lvl and little enzyme and next time again with little nutrients, and repeat this for minimum a week.
Autoflowers don't need much nutrients so after a week you can building up again the EC of the water

You've given too many nutrients too soon for too long. I would give nothing but water for the next 2 waterings. Each time water it until you get at least 20% run off. From there on use half the suggested nutrient dosage every third watering for the rest of your grow and I think you will have a nice harvest.

Getting out of the ideas - VPD, nutrients or deficiency?I'm getting out of the ideas as the foliar symptoms proceed.
Lowered EC down to 1.8 from 2.2, pH in range.
VPD is getting problematic as the plants seem to be respirating a lot during the day and it rises tent RH sometimes up to 70% - exhaust duct fan wont keep up. Temps 22-24CLeaves. Edges burnt

New grower with questions about burnt tips, browning/scrunching leaves and some pale/yellow spots!I noticed Quick One had issues with burnt tips and discoloration by the end of week 1 and 2, what could've been the issue?
Apple Fritter is looking sick, brown spots, what is that?
Easy Bud and Quick on have slight yellow/paled spots on their leaves, only 1-2, is that normal?8mo ago
