Burning from over feeding............you are either feeding too much or too often.........or both.

Crispy Yellow Leaves
Inflow EC=1333 w/ PH=5.8 vs Runoff EC=658 w/ PH=6.0. Insufficient nutes due to light intensity? Perhaps my PH meter is inaccurate? Light is 42 inches from canopy or ~600 PPFD. RH 65%, Temp 80 F.

Moin, bei meiner Größen Pflanze fangen die Blätter an von außen gelb zu werden und braune Punkte zu bekommen. Ist das ein Zeichen von einer überdüngerung? Alle anderen Pflanzen haben dies nicht. Oder zu wenig?

I'm still trying to raise my soils pH, I'm using Olympus up which has lime, should I give a higher dose or jus pH water till pH runoff goes up?
If I use nectar for the gods Olympus up which has lime in it and I'm having low soil pH probs, should I use more Olympus up and adjust my pH and would that help raise my soils pH? Or should I jus use pH water until my pH runoff is where I want it? Advice greatly appreciated.

Burnt, should I throw it and start from zero?
I have 1 burn auto for excessive light, should I throw this one and start from seed again or maybe flipping to 12/12? The light is farther now but maybe I can do something else than put away my lights.. my current schedule is 18/6 and the plant is around 45-50 days old

Leaf yellowing
Hi all. In the last 48 hours there has been a few lower leaves which have lightened in colour to a yellow. The whole leaf has changed at the same time so I’m not sure if this is an indication of an issue or if the leaves are being drained before the final ripening. Thanks 😊

Grower question
Any ideas what the issue could be? Few weeks into flower. Dealing with fungus gnats and have kept the population very low. Temps do get high, at most 95 (hot I know). I cranked down the lights to their lowest setting (100 true watts LED). I have adequate air flow.

Yellow and burnt leaves
Yellow on one side and pretty much green on the other. Why? Lol I'm light on the nutes. I dont think I've been giving to much. Maybe not enough? I hope it makes it.

How much should I feed my plant in week 3?
Hi, I just wanted to know, why do the last Pair of leaves start turning yellow every Saturday. Am I under feeding the plant? Please let me know. Last week I only gave Bruce banner 3ml GHE flora grow, 3ml bloom, 2ml micro, and that in a 5gal bucket. Should I be feeding her more?
