Can anyone help me? My plants are 4 weeks into flowering, From the 3rd week of life all of my plants have had a brown than dead leaf tips. From new growth, Only the very tips of the leaves come out brown then die, the rest of the leaf is green and stays green but the leaf tips never recover. Any advice or solutions. Should I be concerned?

I am growing bubblelicious, under LED. All growing mediums and feeding are the same for all the plants

Without photos I am only able to speculate , most likely you are either seeing a slight nutrient burn at the tips or it is due to low humidity . Look at common houseplants found in offices and homes and you ll notice brown tips from lack of humidity . This can become a common thing for indoor growers on a smaller scale

My money would be on a slight nute burn. I'm growing in the dry (10-15% is usual for the day/lights on) and haven't had brown-tip issues. But, I've popped seeds from soil that was too hot and the leaves emerged brown and burnt, never recovering.

Good luck and happy growing!

Don't know. More info (i.e., set-up, nutes, soil/medium) and/or pics would help immensely.

No I wouldn't worry about it, it's a common issue. If yo start to see progressive leaf death tho you can start to worry. If you really want to fix it I can help but I need more information. Like what kind of soil and lighting. How often you feed the plant (give nutrients, not the watering schedule).

The first pic is my hairless girl, the other pics indicate dead leaf tips. Also do you think these nugs are a bit small for 4 weeks flower?

That does look like some sort of toxicity. Too much nitrogen or potassium, would be my guess. What nutes/medium are you using?



Either way, it also does look like it's affected your bud production, as those are pretty small for 4 weeks.

yes they are small compared to others pics I see. I think my biggest problem is PH soil problems, I PH the water but the soil is a bad mix. I will not feed them for awhile and just flush with water.
thanks, I guess I will learn in time, to grow like you experienced gardeners.

From what I understand, pH is more likely to lock out nutrients than to cause toxicities, so I kind of doubt it's a pH thing.
