Your plant is looking underfed / slightly overwatered to me. Try giving her some more Grow fertilizer and dont water a little bit every day, but moisten the whole soil completely and let it dry out a little bit before watering again.

Progressive yellowing on older fan leaves ~F14-F35
Hi, past two weeks or so I've been noticing progressive chlorosis and eventually some necrosis starting from the edges of the leaves and working inwards. Photos of this can be found in Week 18 Flower denoted by "For grow question #x 12/1" Humidity low, could be related? thx

Hi 8th week of flower. Bottom leaves have turned yellow and died and yellowing is rapidly moving upwards. I think it's nitrogen deficiency so I've added more Biobizz Grow. Would be good to get an expert opinion! Thanks

On lower leafs some brown patches started to appear and leafs are turning to a yellow color. Think is either Cal def by how it looks like or it is because of PH fluctuations as last week we changed our PH to 6.2 for 4-5 days and now it is back to 5.9 and under 24h spots appeared?

Strange splotchiness has recently showed up in a few of my plants in different parts of the garden. I was thinking maybe CalMag deficiency? But I wanted to get an expert opinion. See latest photos.

On my NLxBB there appears to be rust spots developing on both sets of the first true leaves, i've only fed nutrients once on Day 10 and that was at quarter strength. Not sure if this is a sign of overwatering or if I need to start feeding with Cal-Mag more regularly.

What are these yellow/brown dots and how can I prevent more from developing?
Yellow/brown dots appeared midway through week 4 of flowering. More prominent on upper fan leaves. Gave it nutrient tea (flower nute/worm casting/CalMag) so hopefully that will help. Can’t test pH so difficult to tell if it’s lockout. Added new 600W light this week too.

What causes these colour smears
Jack Herer outdoors. None of my grows have presented a colour smear on the leaves, as this example shows. Left & Right of my hand shows 2 leaves with a colour smear on them. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks Gang !!

Dark dots in leaves. Lamp burns?
I saw this dark dots in leaves but only she has it. She was exactly under spider-farmer sf1000 at 30 cm. Now I moved to other softer light at 40 cm. What do you think? Lamp burns? They're dry and curl up. Some images are edited for better appreciation but you have also originals.

Help with understanding what the leaves are telling me
Can anyone help a first time grower with identifying the issues here please? The brown/yellow patches, what is this? The twisted weird shaped stunted new growth on the plant? What has caused this?

Does the paleness concern you?
Plant #1 seems a bit more on the pale green/yellowing side of the spectrum. Especially compared to plant #2. I have been feeding this week on a gradually increasing schedule. Not enough characters to go into it here.

Just to confirm, this looks like nute burn, doesn't it?
Burnt edges, tips curled up, canoeing. I've been having trouble balancing airflow and heat in such a small tent, and as a result the tent is on average about 28 degrees celcius daytime and the plants still get a lot of wind. Looking for whatever advice you can give! :)

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!
