Nutrient Burn or Deficiency?

KitaKushstarted grow question 2y ago

I recently fed her nutes and two days later I am seeing this yellowing on the baby sugar leaves on top buds only. Do I flush? Or is this a nutrient deficiency and not a nutrient burn?

Nute burn for sure. Your plants look great, they have not begun the fade. I would do just water next Feed.. and maybe next

Also I added 1 teaspoon of Cal Mag on top of the Tiger Bloom. I. ever added Cal Mag before…I recently got it and thought it wouldn’t hurt to throw some in there maybe that was the mistake?

Should I be worried with yellow and brown tipped leaves? Will it affect quality or yield? Can I correct this? With my nutes I used sturdy stalk and Ph’d water 6.3 and I feel it could be the lights but it also started from over feeding Nutes. B4RNS called it!

Issues with leaves. Day 90 total, 30 of flower. Leaves have been getting more and more yellow the past week, with progressively more brown tips.Vpd has been pretty close to ideal, the pot had 1 gallon less soil so could be missing out on some nutrients? Possibly Potassium? Otherwise not sure what it could be. Does not appear to be N deficiency because the leaves are affected from the top too. What should I do to fix this

Advise to flush or feed in Veg Does this is look like a nute burn, deficiency, or ph problem? The two plants that are growing a tad taller have had yellowing tips some curling downward. Don’t want to overreact and cause it to worsen, they’re looking healthy otherwise. Any advise whether to flush or feed?
