Hey ppl, one of my plants is getting yellow leaf tips, n sometimes middle of the leaf yellowing. Here's some pictures, I would really appreciate any suggestions.

I have been using a 1-1-1 nutrient, that seems to be working really good. I just transplanted them about a week ago, on same kind of soil i had before (i had kind of the same problems earlier when they were very young with this soil, but they were getting brown tips, not that yellow).

First 2 pics are the problem the plant in the picture next to them has. The necrotic tip only happened on that specific leaf, the yellowing is a bit more general but not too much yet. The next pics are from the other one only has yellowing tips, but all around the new leaves.

The plant looks healthy in color, but about the burned tip, it may be slightly excess nutrients? maybe PH?

When ya transplanted them the soil they went into has plenty of nutes for the plant for a while.

I would use different soil when and if ya transplant again. Stay away from miraclegrow soil.

im using a soil mix i found here, im not in the states btw, supposed to be the best stuff for planting, and know very experienced growers that use it, but its behaving wierd for me. Nutes have worked amazing for my plants, i had to really nute them when they were small so i guess i should need more now that they r bigger, lemme know what u think.

Usually yellow tips are a classic sign of nute burn. People tend to make it worse by trying to fix it with, guess what, more nutes. A good rule to go by, is not to give em nutes til they're at leat two weeks old. Personally, I waited a month, then gave em 1 dose of 1/2 strength organic solution 3-3-3. other than that just water.

...also, the ph of a lot of organic ferts is super acidic. Mine happend to be below 4! This can hurt the ph of ur soil as well if not adjusted leading to nutrient lockout!
