Help! Is this nute burn?

Hi RIU community!



I am wondering what is wrong with my plant. Does it look like nute burn? Thanks in advance!

I think its a PH problem. Looks like multiple deficiencies.

I have to go with pH as well...something definitely looks off...the lower leaves look yellowed, and then you have spots on the next leaves, but nothing just screams nute burn at me...but definitely looks like something is off...is it possible it is overwatered?

how often do you water?

Its Hydro, just a ghetto gallon bottle of water with an air pump, and with 2 air rocks in. I painted the gallon bottle of water, could it be some paint residue issue? I'll check the ph and let you guys know. Thanks for thehelp!

agreed. its not overferting.
you look low on Nitrogen, and possibly phosphorus. id fix the N problem first, up the micro nutes, wait a week, then repost pics.
check the pH, 5.8 for hydro.
and wtf do you mean you got a ghetto gallon sized jug of water. i want pics of this contraption you made. remember, HYDRO = no nutrients other than what you feed it. so you must supply everything!

My guess is high ph
What are you feeding and how much?

Dead spots usually mean the plant needs some Cal/Mag.

When you over feed the plants will turn dark green and start showing tip burn. As you feed it more the leaves will curl under like a birds claw.

If you under feed your plant, the leaves will turn yellow (low N) or have dead spots (low Mag or Cal)

With a 1Gal res your plant will die soon. Spend 5 bucks and go buy an 18gal rubbermaid container to put the plant in.

Nutrient burn usually only covers the tips. Looks like you have deficiencies throughout the entire leaf on some of them. Nutrient deficiency in my opinion, what are your pH's at?
