Plant looks like it's burning.

image.jpg image.jpg So I read up on why my plant would start initially growing what appears to be burn areas on leaves. What I've come across is a boron deficiency and/or a Calcium Deficiency and I did moth methods to try and correct the issue. It's been about 5 days since I did the treatment and this is the result still lol: any ideas what could be causing this .

Just curious about how often you are watering? Also what did you use to correct your deficiency?

Same problem recently. Went from 5ml gallon to 7ml gallon of cal mag. Fixed in two days. I thought it was too much, just a hungry plant

Once possibly every week or two weeks . Normally when the soil is pretty much dry though like I was advised to. And according to the sites they said to flush it with Ph balanced water. At first I wasn't even checking my pH levels which obviously is bad considering I bought pH up n Down to make sure I'll always have balanced pH. Just recently flushed it 2-3 days ago for this problem

I would check ph before treating as a deficiency. I get spotting like that when my soil ph is low. Maybe water a bit less she looks droopy.
My pH was waaaaay to high in the water I was using and never realized because I forgot I bought test tubes and pH up n down to make sure that wouldn't happen. Dumb mistake. Everything I read said to flush the plant with pH balanced water and let it do its job which I did 2 days ago and just brought it to here in case anybody else had some opinions and/or observations for me . Maybe an hypothesis on how to fix the according issue because those pictures I posted are the worse ones but the top leaves look healthy but a few of them have that brown tip .

How tall is your plant respectfully ? Cause that might make sense why it's so hungry. This is only my 2nd grow and the first was just a complete fail lol. I hope it corrects itself like yours did

Check out dolemite lime, top dress with 2-3 tblsp. All you need cal wise and other minerals, plus ph buffer.

Ph should not be a concern in soil if you have a stable mix.

I'll look into the dolemite lime . Thank you ! I'm just currently using FoxFarm Ocean Mix with Extra Peralite. Nutrient wise I'm using General Hydroponics Grow, Bloom and Micro mainly because they were the only ones around my price range with good reviews. Plant is sitting at 1 ft possibly 2 ft respectfully . Its been growing for a month I would say min so far.

So this is the current status of the lady since I posted this and did a nutrient flush w PH balanced water. Still a tad bit droopy on bottom. Trying to research how to fix it

@DrewBerry Still looks over watered imo. The petioles stand up but the leaves droop on the end of the petiole. Usually with under watering the leaf and the petiole both droop downward pointing to the soil. Other than that the plant looks green and lush.
