Over watering, under watering, nute problem, too much sun?

Hello, everyone:

I'm new to the forum and I need your help. I'm on my second grow and this time around a couple of the leaves on two of my plants are turning yellow and then brown. I've attached some pictures so you guys can get the idea. All four of my plants are growing in pots outdoors and get around 9 hours of direct sunlight (it's summer down here, but temperatures rarely rise above 30° C). They're growing in nice dirt (33.3% Humus, 33.3% Peat and 33.3% Perlite) and I water them every 2 to 3 days, when I feel the dirt is drying out. The only nutes I've used is BioCanna's Bio Vega and I've only applied it once so far, a week ago. Any idea what might be causing this problem? I heard that it's probably over-watering or lack of nutrients. Should I be worried? Can I fix it somehow? The plants keep growing strong, but I can't help but worry. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, everyone!

Them lower leaves appear to be burnt from water and nute solution puddling on them after watering. Happens to many people, I would pull the dead necrotic leaves off and continue what your doing. If then it progresses up the plant you may have an issue or issues.

Thanks, Medinugs! I use a watering can, so what you're saying makes sense. I'll try to avoid wetting the leaves so much when watering and see what happens.

I just snip off the bottom leaves that interfere with the watering, perfectly healthy ones too, especially if they're touching the soil/growing medium at all.

for an even watering on a smaller bit of plants, I find a large plastic syringe works well for a nice slow but even water, and you avoid the undergrowth.50-100 ccs should work, the bigger the better imo.

The majority of the plant looks great, so disregard what the very lowest leaves have to say at this point.

Leave the plant alone, and don't make any changes right now.

Let the leaves die off further and you'll gain some understanding. It looks to me that it is just normal ephemeral transgression.

There you go! Any leaves that get in MY way, when I am watering, get SNIPPED.

It's fucking ridiculous anyway, dealing with all these leaves.

I like to water my small plants with a 100 ml syringe too. How long is your "dirt" supposed to be good for before you add nutrients too it? If theres no nitrogen you may need some about a week or two ago.

pull those yellowing and brownish leaves man.. i do that too in my own growing. have encountered such.. no major health issues... after pulling those leaves, observe your babies.. if yellowing continuous, check the pH of the soil or make changes with watering sched and feeding of nutrients

You have hurt my feelings. You have made me sad. Very sad.

I was just trying to make a bit of a joke but I realize now I should not have done that. And I got a cock holster out of the deal. Sweet.

Give your buddy (butty?) Joe a big thumbs up from me, OK?
