Leaves' tips drying out

hweixdstarted grow question a year ago

What I am concerned about is the light. I ordered a MARS TS100 but until it arrives, with my current light, I manage to pull 3.2 DLI but at the range of 20cm. Is that too close?

I usually give my seedlings around 10-15 DLI so I don't think it's light burn. If it's LED 20cm should be more than far enough. Make sure you have high humidity, germinating/seedlings like around 65-70% RH and temps around 26-27°C. Don't water too much, at this stage the plants drink from the leaves quite a bit as the roots are developing. Side note, you should get a diary going, the community can give better help.if.you give us more info 🙂

Nute burn? How to handle?Hi, i guess i made the typical newbie mistake and over-feed a little bit. The plant started to get some brown/yellow tips, mostly the upper part of the plant. Is it enough to just stop with nutrients and stay with clear water or is there anything else i can/should do?

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

Is this nutrient burn?As a beginner it is hard to classify that: Are the brown tips a sign for nutrient burn? Or rather a deficiency of something? Soil pH (out of whack) 7.4ish. Fighting that for weeks now... Soil EC ~ 2000 µS/cm. Crazy Hills fertilizer as scheduled. Thank you!

Nutrient lockout or deficiency Die unter Planze im Bild ist seit ein paar Tagen hell obwohl ich letztes mal schon mehr gedüngt hab. Habe mit EC 1.5 / Ph 6.2 gegossen. Im runoff kam Ec von 3.5 raus, es war aber nur sehr wenig runoff deswegen find ich 3.5 eigentlich in ordnung. Blatt spitzen sind aber auffällig.
