Is the browning caused by nutrient burn or symptom...

Is the browning caused by nutrient burn or symptoms of something else? I had previously backed off, but want to know if I'm missing something. Most of the stems are red for leaves as well as petrioles. My runoff is around 900 each time @6.1. Only one plant of 2 has this.

Howdy. I'm basing this answer on a 4x4 tent and focusing more on what you mentioned in your entry, not the question, about your chiLED logic 660. I like LED tech and looking up things I've never seen. I've never seen this! Holy friggin powerful and with supplemental UVB too boot. Anyway, I checked their specs and if you're in a a 2x2 to 4x4 they recommend a 24" buffer space for adequate, even intensity and flowering footprint. Most all LED's I've seen have been 18-24 inches but this is the first time I've seen a manufacturer spec for 24".... Your girl does seem to be cupping a bit too early at this stage of flower and it does look like she's burning a bit. This beast of an LED could easily be SOME of the symptoms you're seeing around the top section and you cola fan leaves. As for the actual question about Nutrients (lol). I feel you're totally fine, do not stop. A flush is good once in awhile but they want the goods real bad right now. The reddening I believe to be the phenotype and not a symptom of deficiency 👍. The browning a symptom of light burn/stress😕. I hope this helped. Girls are looking good and getting fat! Got's nothing to worry about my friend. Cheers and good luck in the coming days👌☺️

It's definitely needing a boost of pk, that will heal the purple stems. The slight yellowing in your leaves can be a calcium magnesium defeciency which you can easily sort by adding to your feed some calmag. 🌱👍Buds are looking sweet though

Hi Elevatedthinking This should help. I believe what you have is a phosphorus deficiency. When plants lack phosphorus, purpling or reddening of the leaves and stems can occur. Signs usually begin in lower leaves and branches and slowly work their way up the plant. Bear in mind that some plants naturally turn red or purple due to their genetics but if you keep having this problem with many different strains, it’s probably not due to genes. Overwatering and cold temperatures can also exacerbate the problem so make sure those aren’t an issue for you before trying to add more nutes. Phosphorus is the “P” in NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) meaning it’s a major nutrient needed by the plant to thrive. Most fertilizers made for the flowering stage will contain plenty of P and sometimes growers will mistake a pH imbalance for a deficiency, although it sounds like you check pH often so in your case I think it’s truly a lack of Phosphorus. In order to treat this deficiency, you need to add nutrients with phosphorus. Organic forms of these include worm castings, bat guano, bone and blood meal and crab shells among others. If using bottled solution, use something where the NPK shows high levels of P. Most flowering or blooming nutrients meant for cannabis contain plenty of P. You should see the problem clear up within a week or so with new growth looking lush and green. I am using 6PH for soil growth and never got PH in balance. Good luck hope this helps.

this could have been later in the final phase.Yours had some little nutrient burn and you flushed,now it is showing hunger signs.Give maybe a PK booster along with your base bloom nutrients.runoff 900ppm is really good,clean soil.That plant with browning must be a sensitive one when it comes to feeding.Just keep feeding,no need to increase dosage,keep the soil clean like this and it'll do no harm to your plant.Everything looks fine.But leaves looking pale to me on the other one.It needs more feeding.
