Is this a ph problem? Not many leaves have this (yet) and if they do it's not much. Id like to find out what it is so I can treat it IMG_4880.JPGIMG_4885.JPG

Have you got an overall photo of the plant? Are the leaves yellowing from the bottom up? Or is this starting from the bottom up? If so you could have a movie nutrient deficiency ie cal/mag, N etc...but from the looks of it your leaves may have been touching something that has made the edges burn a little, if you spill nutrient laden water on them and then put them in full light it can happen. But to me, there doesnt seem to be any yellowing or spotting so they are fine. If you are really concerned flush them then give them a light feeding. If this has only happened to a couple of leaves there is no real reason for concern.

I mean the only leaves that turned yellow were the very first pedal leaves but I imagine that's normal. And I probably got nutes on them when I fed them. Is that what you're talking about by nutrient laden water?

What pH are you feed/watering with? Soil or coco? You need to give a lot more info if you want an answer that's worth a damn.

I'm growing in soil (ffof) w/ 3 gal pots (final pot). So far I've only fed with fox farm trio at 1/4 strength for week 2. Yesterday started wk 3. And today they get watered with nutes but at 1/2 strength. They get watered/fed every 2 days.

And I water with well water. Hard, before it goes through the softener. It's 7.4 140ppm. I'm still unclear if I can put ph down in straight water. And when I feed with nutes it's 6.2 ph

A water softener uses ion exchange to operate, most use sodium in the form of salt pellets. They remove calcium and magnesium ions and replace them with sodium, thus making this water way too high for growing or even making beer for that matter.
You may want to look into a R/O system or buying water from a store if your water is too hard.

I think I have leaf septoria everyone. Everything points to that. I cut all the defective leaf tips off and will be purchasing neem oil, so hopefully that solves it. My plants look great, I just get these random brown/ yellow spots

Not even close to leaf septoria!Looks like a slight calcium problem.
I've been thinking cal mag but Non of my leaves are yellow bro. Healthy green. I just have these brown spots that spread from leaf to lead. Septoria is caused when it's warm and there's moisture. Which makes sense cause I'm doing a closet grow

Did you ever solve it? I'm stuck between buying neem oil, or cal mag. $$ is tight so I wanna make sure I'm buying the right thing.
