You know 50% silica sand 50% good EWC will grow anything without deficiency. Add some Bone meal and greensand, hit her with a good fish/seaweed once a month,
Bingo SUCCESS ✌

No deficientcy with NPK or trace elements would exist if all present 7.0-7.5 is the ultimate ✔/foods.
Try this, add about an inch of EWC too add humus. You'll be thankful you did.

hi guys, my two plants (one more than another) are presenting brown/dry aspect in tips of some leaves. It is really small but I've realized a couple a days ago. It not seems to getting worse and they are growing well. (~50 days veg, I'm planning to change to 12/12 on 5-7 days from now).

Like 10 days ago I got some yellow leaves in bottom part, which I diagnosed as N deficiency and apparently solved that.

Do you guys know what might be? I'm using carolina soil with worm humus, perlite and coconut fiber, basic... and using a standard NPK fertilizer commonly used in Brazil. Thanks!!

it appears to be common tip burn, from slight over feeding. I'd guess your soil was a little hot when you first planted them, and that happened.
Then the plant used up most of what was in the soil, and you started to see the N deficiency. It's pretty common, and not a big problem, as long as it doesn't start getting worse.

if you can i would make my starting soil a little less potent, then start feeding at half strength as soon as you see any kind of deficiency, and increase strength if the plants seem to be wanting more.
That tip burn is very common, people seem to use it as sort of a gauge, if they're getting that, but no more, then that's about all that plant can handle, and you want to take a small step back from that.
