Deficiency or excess?
Hey everyone, could use your help deciding whether or not this is a deficiency or excess nutrient problem.
I know that when certain nutrients are in excess it will lock out others and make it look like deficiencies, so I don't want to jump to conclusions on this one.
Here's the rundown
Day 52
All growing in soil
Temps are good
I've been leaching the soil for 2 weeks, only using plain tap
No signs of improvement, I was trying to avoid flushing but maybe I'll have to
All 3 different strains, showing same symptoms
*Red main stem
*Red leaf center
*Fans slightly clawed downward and
dark green, but now starting to lighten up in spots
*tips slightly burnt
*Lower growth looks better off
Other than that they're growing dense, sticky buds, can't help but think I could have gotten more off them though

I'm not the best person to ask on this. :(
Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

I agree with kbag plus genetics.
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

Re: Deficiency or excess?
You say temps are good. But with 3 different strains showing these symptoms I would say environmental. Not much can cause this feed wise and I'd imagine all 3 strains would react differently even if it was excess or def.
What temp is the feed you are using?

Re: Deficiency or excess?
Hey all, thank you for the replies. I never considered feed temp being an issue, but straight out the tap it's about 22 C and I've been watering with that
Environmental wise lights off I'm 20-21, lights on 24-26
Humidity is all over the place tbh, lights off 65-80, lights on 35-50
It's very tropical weather here and I have multiple tents running different setups, very hard to dial in temps for all of them

Re: Deficiency or excess?
That temp water is cool Josh, you can shock em with real cold feed which I've seen bring colours out. Rest looks good mate. 3 strains playing up genes wise is strange but looks like a cool mutation.
P.s. take cuts off each
