mcflowanswered grow question a year ago Browning and crisping of leaves can be caused by various factors, including nutrient deficiencies, pH imbalances, or even overwatering. Make sure you're not over-fertilizing, as it can lead to nutrient burn. Check for proper drainage and avoid waterlogging the soil. Consider adjusting nutrient levels and monitor pH consistently to ensure it stays within the optimal range for nutrient uptake.
