Nutrient & critter problems need 1-2weeks from harvest need advice
Namesnomnomstarted grow question 2y ago
The plant is a couple weeks of harvest but has some issues. (Some kind of nutrient lockout or deficiency can't tell what tho, pH is fine at about 5.8)
And I got these annoying critters that seem to live on the soil (but aren't touching the plant)
Any ideas on what to do ? :/

Yellow tips upper/newer growthI'm experiencing some yellowing of the tips in the upper/newer growth. Light stress? Nutrient burn? Deficiency? Ph related issue? Should I do a flush with plain PHed water and check the ph of the runoff? I will do some more pictures tonight with the grow light off.Week 4

Solely a Ph problem?. So far I’ve come up with maybe potassium deficiency and improper Ph when watering? Please helpLeaves. Edges burnt
