problem with leaves, caught as early as possible
latynostarted grow question 13d ago
Hi, I discovered a rusty-looking spot, and the tip of one leaf is completely dried out and dead, with other spots appearing as well. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Thanks a lot.

You are overwatering and watering wrong at same time ;)
Leaves never touch soil, give support, lay on pot verge and so on, that way you won't have those necrosis and will create better air circulation under canopy.
Overwatering - aka watering while soil still moist , can bring pH fluctuations.
When plant leaves reaches verge of pot, you water all pot. Divide amount into 4-5 parts, water them with 3-5 mins interval. Colect run off, never let it to be reabsorbed. You need 10-20% of total watering amount to come off like run off. No dry pockets, water slowly !
Lift pots to understand when to water, you'll feel heaviness, humans have good muscle memory :) heavy - wait, easy to lift - water.

Are you foliage feeding by chance? Or splashed some on the leaves? I have never feed that way for these particular issues

Along with the rest of the comments-check your ph. Do not overwater. A good dry-back ( let your plant soil dry until the plants leaves barely start to wilt)

I think is a combination of your watering habits and wind stress. Looks like the leaf is getting wet and rotting on the tip. Could be too much nitrogen and overwatering but some plants are real dramatic and be relatively healthy and show sigs of stress and bounce back in a week given you can read her signs and act accordingly. Not saying you shouldn't worry about it. but everyone wants perfect plant, but rarely is that the case. I think theirs something to be said about more harm can come from overeating to something minor and changing too many variable s and not being able to figure out what happened. Think about how much nitrogen is in there think about how much you've watered, is is splashing. oxygenated water is important to. and of core the PH I should really have to say that. Having improper PH will really mess things up, and the root of many issue. Your soil stays slightly more alkaline when it stays wet.

Clawing leaves and very wet soil = I'm guessing over-watering,
Whereever the drops of water on the leaves come from, you have to make it stop, having water pool up on leaves like that can easily lead to a variety of problems.

Hi 🙋♂️,
What you're seeing is a classic nitrogen overdose. The clawing leaves, meaning the downward curled leaf tips, are the classic sign of this. From now on, give the ladies only water, no more nutrients. This will slow down the growth of your plants, and it won't go away on the old leaves, but the new ones should eventually come back fresh and straight.
Good luck moving forward 👍👌👊
