K Deficiency? Help?
Hi there, I know im new to this and may seem like a bit of a div coming for help but anyways, i've been reading through peoples grow diaries for the past few months here and about a month ago I started my own grow of 4 lowryder 2's.. all has been going well with some quite good foliage on all 4 plants (despite the usual runt of the group still managed to pull through and produce some good leaves) until up to about a week ago i noticed some yellowing of the tips and edges of the lower leaves on all the plants, this hasn't affected the growing and i did some research and discovered it's either nutes burning through the leaves or a potassium deficiency.
Anyone got any idea's on how to resolve this problem? I've flushed the soil through and re-potted the plants (it was about time i did that anyway) Will the problem affect the growth?
I'll post some pictures although im pretty sure everyones seen this problem at some point as i've read it can be quite common.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks. :thumbsup:

Definitely post pics if you can. Having a K deficiency after only one month of growth isn't as common as you may think. If the leaf tips are scorched (dead and dry), then maybe... but if it's an even yellowing stretching across an entire leaf - generally starting at the bottom - then it might be lacking Nitrogen. That is pretty common after a month of strong growth.

More like dead dry yellow tips...
any solutions? I've flushed the soil through in an attempt to remove any remaining used nutes that might be causing chemicals to burn through the leaves.

I'd say to give it a day or two, if it was suffering from a slight nutrient burn, then the flush will have done it some good. You just won't be able to see the positive effects right away. If the problem worsens, post pictures and fill out the Troubleshooting form to get some reliable suggestions from some of the green thumbs around here.
Take care. :jointsmile:
