So I have those black spots on leaves on top of the canopy of my plants. Can someone please explain what are those and how can I treat it? Also the edges of the leaves on top of the canopy are brown and crispy.

The burnt tips are a nutrition/pH issue. The black blotches could be a fungal problem due to poor air exchange/high humidity.

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?

Leaf necrosis What's going on with mk Ultra? It gets Neem every 2-3 days, and I have tried to keep pH down to 6. This has been going on since I got the clone, and it continues to happen. The pink kush (last pic) has a few similar spots. Lights are 50cm above.

Leaves turning yellow with brown patches I noticed the first real leaves on one of my plants turning yellow in FFOF. I transplanted them into bigger pots with ProMix M in hope that it would stop. Condition seems to continue worsening. I have started to notice the cotyledons on some of the plants turning yellow.

Nutrient deficiency? If yes, what's the best course of action to salvage the situation?First time grower of 3 autos, at week 8, lower leaves started turning yellow, top leaves started to get smaller/develop brown spots 2 weeks ago. Is this a nutrient deficiency problem? Soil should have been fertilized for 3 months, but I'm thinking they burned through it.

Please say it ain't bud mold :(Noticed a brown spot on my center cola last night. This morning it progressed so I removed it. I'm noticing browning on nearby leaves. It may be nute burn (I have been heavy on them), and I did recently increase light intensity to full two days ago, but my temps are ~74f. Pls no!

Why leaves brown? (urgent)Some leaves turn brown as in the photo. Leaves in the middle turn brown first, then bottom leaves. Now I try making larger lamp-to-plant distance and feeding less nutrients, but no good sign appears. Other conditions are stated in my diary. Why do you think it is?

Light burn, light burn due to humidifier water lights?What do you think caused this brown color on that leaf? I have 5 leaves like that, all the others are ok. I believe it's due to pulverizing water and droplets acting as magnifiers for the light, causing small burns. Also, since they are burnt, should I just cut them out?
