So this is a bubblegum kush seed that was pretty small to start with but sprouted and all is well with buds coming in very nice but whats up with the leaves turning light brown at the tip then curling up and falling off.? Is this normal for this type of cannabis. See pic.

Are you harvesting that now/soon

More info would be good ....what nutes you used techniques and so on and so forth .
No, not harvesting.

The only nutes that I'm using is whats already in the soil which is FoxFarm: Ocean Forest, which I read was the best soil to use and did not need anything added except water of course.

I ask because it looks like you've defoliates it pretty heavy ....then again I don't know anything about your plant as you didn't give any info .....if your near harvest I wouldn't worry to much about it .....there does look like there's issues beyond just the normal fade at the end of flower....I personally don't mind a good fade on my plants ...I also do not defoliate my plants and I'm a soil grower ..

I apologize still new to this. I haven't defoliate. It's just strange cause when the old leaves fall off new one comes in. I don't think it's ready for harvest is it.?

K well there's your first mistake .....YES ffof does have food in it ..you're rite ...however it doesn't have enough to sustain a plant through it's entire life cycle IMO ....I use ffof soil as well and I don't feed for around one month ....after that month I start to supplement the soil with food for the plants .....seems your girl may have used her self up do to the lack of goodies .....How much longer do you have to go on that plant ?

Ffof also buffers ph on it's own for future reference ...GL

There's no way for me to tell you that ....once again info is key to helping you with these questions ....how long has it been flowering ...what strain is it ?
I take it your indoors as well correct?
If you do know the strain how many weeks approximately did it say it would flower ?

Check it out .....the more info you give us ....the better advice you'll get ..there's nothing wrong with making mistakes while growing ....it's called learning ...we all do it

Considering its cooked on all of the leaf tips from top to bottom, Im gonna say its overfed with too hot of soil.

I'm confused because he says he's fed it nothing ....and it's been ffof and water only .....I use ffof and have even put seedlings and small clones straight in it without those type of results ......I was thinking severely under fed.....looks more like lack of nutes than the normal deep green leafs with burn tips clawing down ....those leafs look like there praying up for something ....idk

I had same problem with my GDP plant...

In 12 hours time it did this..

Was a PH issue. Too low. About 5.9 when i ran it. Flush at 6.7 fixed the spread. I was day 1 of week 8 when it happened.
I used Ffof for this plant too. It def needs some perlite. It can get you through a short veg but you need to feed them through flower. That bud looks good none the less fir just soil and water! They will be tasty thats for sure. If your at the end of your grow you dont want to add nutes at this point fir taste reasons. Id say flush her and give her some blackstrap.

Guessing that plant is starving but agreed that more info is needed.
Are there any fan leaves left?
