Dark brown edges

CoughingKittystarted grow question 3y ago

Hi. I need some solid advice as to what could be causing my lower leaves to be turning dark brown on the tips and edges. When looking closely, the browning has a bumpy texture and what looks like a fine, grey powder. Excess, deficiency? Idk

Leaf edges browning is normally and indication of over watering. If it's just the tips, it's nutrient burn 🔥. If you have been watering to much, hold back for a couple of days,... the damage is done on the current leaves, but new growth should bounce back. Happy growing bud.

Parece exceso de nutrientes Hojas muy verdes intenso y puntas quemadas Mi consejo: los haz tres o cuatro riegos siguientes hazlo solo con agua (sin fertilizantes) con ph ajustado para que la planta pueda absorber los nutrientes del suelo y se vaya ajustando

Could also be Potassium deficiency, if you haven't been watering too much. 😋
