Is this a deficiency or burn?

KurtThePlantGurustarted grow question 1y ago

I have 2 new, 2 week old seedlings in my grow room and the bottom first set of leaves is yellowing at the tips to like half way up. Their not as green as the new growth.

Looking at your diaries, the biggest problem I see your relative humidity. Those little seedlings need around 65-70% RH at this stage of their life. Along with 250-300 PAR/PPFD and a proper watering schedule. Provide those three things and they should bounce back. Also maybe consider up potting those plants in the next week or so.

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000

Issues after first sledgehammer flush, 4 weeks Hey guys and gals, on week 4 of this indoor, hydro grow and I just hit this plant 5 days ago with fox farms sledgehammer for its first flush. Before this, the plant was growing very well. Is this due to the flush? Should I flush in tap water before next feed? Thx for the help ^^

Found six different spots of small bud rot on amnesia and removed it all. Should I start flushing now and chop in the next few days? Or push it longer. Expecting rain all week so might be time to give up. Also, how much longer should she have gone?

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.

Yellow/gold spots on top fan leaves in bloom phase I noticed a couple of the top fan leaves have got some small yellow/gold spots developing. I've been using the same Bloom feed for this plant as my 3 Bears Smile which is 8 days further along. I'm wondering if that might be causing the problem and how I fix it.
