7 weeks, autoflower, soil + perlite, giving water with RQS Easy Bloom (half a tablet per 3 liters), pH of the watering mixture is 6.5. The bottom leaves on one of the plants are turning yellow (starting from the tips) and slowly dying , while the top leaves tips look very burnt.

The bottom leavesgoing yellow is from lack of nitrogen. Which in bulking you don't want a lot of nitrogen, it hinders bud development. So I would not worry about the slight yellowing at the very bottom. The discoloration on top and rest looks like first stage of potassium deficiency. It is not excess nutrition because in excess the tips turn brown and curl up and in. Your tips are brown and straight with leaf discoloration in canopy in areas. Plus being in bulking the plant wants a lot of phosphorus and potassium to develop the flowers. Flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3. So between looks and facts I think it wants more potassium. Since it is not available it's drawing it from the leaf tips, and pigment in upper canopy areas. IMO

Okay. This is caused by this Your soil dried up too much. (Water peed out the bottom) If tat the case You need to add 200ml or so of water. To get the plant drinking again. Not too much.. like a person starved of anything for 2 long..coming back onto stuff plants are the same. After you have given life back to the plant. Then you can add nute mixes. By take is rhe burnt parts arw from u given EC feeds too soon to vets dry soil..this then makes the plant take up a large portion of the feed. Causing burns The end leaves are from the same thing. When ur soil dries up too much. It'll go for nearest source. (Bottom leaves get eaten on). This is the explanation in many cases of leaves at bottom showing need signs & also can show salt/ nutrient excess burn as you shouldn't feed a dry plant anything with nutes. Feed plane water, not too much or ppl light green edges on leaves, showing too much water. When in reality it was just too much water in a drought period of the plant. Small dose of water then apply fix if needed.

The burnt tips are from a strong nutrient feed. I don’t grow organically and I don’t know what soil you are using but I’d check what nutrients are in your fertiliser. For your stage now you want a NPK ratio of aroun 1:3:3. With all micronutrients included. Not tried the easy bloom but maybe a different approach will help. I had a quick look at your diary and I saw you are running out of vertical space so I’ll try help there. I read that your plants are just over 2 foot tall and the light to canopy distance is 12”. That’s only 3 foot. Is the light as far up as it will go, is your fan and filter taking up vertical space? You can have the fan somewhere else in the tent or even outside the tent. 12” is very close. If it starts to burn or bleach then dim the light. You should have done some lst early but it’s too late for that but what I did when a strawberry banana auto totally out grew a 70x70x160 tent was as best I could and careful not to snap it was bend the tallest branches and main stem over as much as I could. This will give you some space.
