Light burn or nutrient burn?

sir_rootstarted grow question 2h ago

I have noticed that the tips of the leaves are yellowing and curling a bit. I moved the lights up 2 days ago and I honestly don't remember if this was happening before or not. It could be nutrient burn too, since I have increased the watering schedule, they are thirsty. While

Hi mate, you did well raising the light you moved it for a reason so probably noticed something. Yeah it's nute burn but it also makes it more sensitive to the light. Give a light feed next few feeds if you havnt already. It's not a bad thing, you caught it in time this is what to keep an eye on to get familiar with her thirst for nutes then hold it there or back off slight.. Good luck.

What’s wrong ?This plant has displayed this yellowing in a couple of its older leaves. It hasn’t gotten better with the exclusion of nutrients it doesn’t seem to be hurting the growth of the plant as it has continued to grow over the past week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Can I use magnesium sulfate foliarly?Hello, this plant is at the beginning of flowering and apparently has a magnesium deficiency, right? Can I use 100% Mag Sulfate from the pharmacy via foliar treatment? I'm using Calmag 2ml/L but it's not having any effect. I should add Dolomite Limestone to the soil this week.

Yellowing leaves help please (newbie)Hi guys, had a calcium/ magnesium deficiency last week which I have treated with calmag this week However I’m concerned the plant is yellowing more. Is this still related to the same issue ? I understand the brown spots won’t be reversed but should the leaves still be yellowing?

yellow/copper appearance in some leaves after first run off watering hi! after the first run off watering the girls seemed alright, sturdy and firm but some of the leaves (one leaf, 3 plants currently) experienced copper/yellow/orange tints . this is only on old leaves so looks like mobile nutrients. could this be cal-mag issues?
