    Default Yellowing tips of the leaves, help

    Hi,

    I’m growing Cream Caramel Auto in 2 gallon pots. It’s my second grow and I have the same issue as I did the last time - the tips of the leaves are yellowing. The plants are not showing any deficiencies or problems rather than yellowing at the tips on the new growth. The problem started at about day 30.

    My growing medium is Biobizz lighmix + perlite + mycorrhizal fungi supplement. I also have Biobizz nutrients but until this day I only fed once and probably gave them only 1/4 of the recommended dose (+ some CalMag) at day 35. Soil pH is at 6.8.

    My grow space is 2x1x2 ft (micro grow). I’m using 90w 2700K CFL + 76w 5500K CFL + 70w HPS. The distance from the bulbs is 6-8 inches.

    I’m pretty sure it’s not a nutrient burn. Might it be a light burn? I doubt that because of CFLs... Also some tops are not yellowing. There’s no difference between tops at different distances from the lights either...

    Zinc deficiency? They definitely got some zinc when I fed them.

    Could it be something else?

    P.S. Sorry for my English, it’s not my first language.

    Next time you add your feed introduce a very small amount of bloom food to it

    I agree. Time to start feeding regularly. Small doses at first to see how she reacts.

    Around now your autos going to want to stretch for a week or so, just my experience I find this is where they start looking hungry so it's tempting to go banging in the nutes thinking she'll go faster but in reality it's more likely stun them, I know because I do it every time 5th week start chucking in the bloom and pk then realise too much too soon and spend the next week trying to correct it
    Go easy with the biobizz mate less is definitely more with that range, good to have a water only day
    BTW that crowning they Allways show pale green until they open up
    Rant over
    Have to stop having a smoke this early on me day off

    Thanks for the input guys.
    However, the problem seems like it is spreading... I see yellowing at the tips on the lower leaves, also I can see some browning at the very tips of the leaves where the yellowing started. Something is not right... The common sense tells me it might be a nutrient burn but that does not make any sense because I only gave them so little like .5ml/l of both grow and bloom at day 35, around 400PPM in total. And the yellowing started even before their first feed. Could it be that mycorrhizal fungi is doing it's job too well and any ammount of additional nutrients is causing leaves to burn?

    Show a picture or two of the whole plant and someone has probably run into it and can point you forwards matey

    Some photos.

    It really looks like a nutrient burn but the problem started even before the first feed and I'm also using lightmix...
