Yellow / brown leaves tips; should I worry ?
Cockpitlouloustarted grow question 2y ago
Hey ! My 3 plants (same strain) are showing yellow / brown leaves tips for a few days, and I'm not sure what it could be. I'm thinking mild potassium deficiency, or perhaps a bit too much nutes ?FYI, I'm strictly following Biobizz chart, every watering. Should I worry ? Thanks !

The brown tips are the result from overfeeding it called nutriet burn you can search it up. Flush your soil with water with the right pH (no nutrients) and use 2 times the pot volume in water. Let the soil dry for 2-3 days. And after you can continue feeding like you did before but use a quarter less to prevent nutrient burning.

Tip of leaves burntHas been vegetating for a while and growing nice, only noticed these around a week ago and dont seem to be going away.
It looks like a nutrient burn? Been feeding it pH perfect Bloom, Grow and Micro 3 times a week (4ml a litre), so didn't think it would be a deficiency.
Thanks!!Leaves. Tips - Burnt

Young leaves' tips and edges slightly turning into yellow. Also there's some lime-green colouring in young leaf veins and single orange spot in an older fan leaf.
I'm not sure these are some kind of nutrient burn or because of cal-mag or any other micro deficiency. Any idea?Week 4

Leaf Tips Burnt: Flush or consider it a sweet spot and keep going?When leaf tips burn just a bit, is that a "sweet spot" meaning I am pushing the plants to the max, or is that already worth treating as full on lock out and needing a formal flush and straight ph'ed water till it resolves?Week 4

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency?
This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!2y ago

All of my plants have started to burn yellow in colour when they switched to flower, they have also lost they lovely green colour and started to go lime. Too much nitrogren still in the soil? Or Just a deficiency? They have recently been fed 1ML fishmix and 2ML Bloom.Week 5

Yellowish color at the tips and wrinklesMy plant has been yellowing for a day now, I think it is a deficiency of some nutrient but I don't know what it could be, I have thought about buying NPK. At the same time, there are also a couple of leaves that have slightly wrinkled the tip and have been half lowered.Leaves. Tips - Burnt
