First sign of deficiencies will be light green yellow leaves, it needs to be repotted into a bigger pot and be given only water for 2 weeks.
It is nutrient burn causing nutrient lockout.
This is not true. Very early potassium and phosphorus will show dark green leaves before the start showing other symptoms.

Nutrient burn causing nutrient lockout? Are your talking about the roots. Are you talking due to sodium buildup or nitrogen toxicity? Nutrient burn is typically referred to as nitrogen toxicity in my experience.

I am sure you are knowledgeable, there are some people on here that do real well, there are some that don't even know what they are doing and they are doing well.

Yeah I'm just going to put him on ignore now...

Just joins forum. Starts post with "you're wrong" then proceeds to spout nonsense. Says he's one of the most trustworthy people despite not knowing anyone. And that he knows everything. Just trust him....

Nope. Ignored. No time for people like that.

Yeah I just signed up because I saw the pictures and I know what the problem is. I would hate to see someone screw up their garden when it is an easy fix.

Lol, dude. Trust him. He knows everything. Been here a day and he's the most trustworthy knowledgeable person here.
Been here a day but I wasn't born yesterday.
It's ok if you dont want my advice. I'll give it to someone who wants it. Then they can pass the good advice on to you.

Can you please re-read my posts and respond. I am curious since you called me out as not trustworthy and that I was wrong. Can you please point out what I said that was wrong so I know where you are coming from

Yes you are right it is potassium deficiency but it is not because of the lack of potassium in the soil it is because the plant cant use it because of the ph being too low making it unavailable for absorption.

I came in the door kind of the way you did, you have to let people get to know you, and see some of the stuff you are doing. No one really knows you on here, you don't have to get personal, just kind of give people an idea where your head is at. I kind of figured this out myself, kind of blew in the door like I owned it, you mean well, you just come off wrong.

I never said it was which is why I asked about calcium supplementation. If it was in flower I may think otherwise. I agree it could be ph but it could be calcium excess or other. It's not very common in veg so I would not recommend adding it and say 99% it's not due to to little in the medium bit rather it's not available for one reason or another.

Look dude it's great you wanted to sign up to help others. Maybe there is a more constructive way to approach it?

Welcome to the farm.
I really don't think there is anything wrong with telling someone they are wrong when their advice could potentially screw up someone's garden and have them chasing problems that dont exist.

Believe it or not, I am exactly the same way, I pissed people off. I actually meant no ill will, I guess it is about tact, I am not good at that, I think like a Kantian.

You you were.
You are both wrong, this is a very common issue I only see in rootbound veg plants and late stage flowering plants, it's a combination of both a burn and a deficiency caused by certain nutrients being locked out of either the soil, or the nutrient solution before watering, it is a deficiency late in flower during the flush but is accompany with a nitrogen deficiency which will happen way before the other deficiencies. If it happens in large vegging plants it is because of a ph problem in the soil caused by over feeding without enough flushing. The only way to fix the ph problem is to repot into a bigger pot with new soil and give plain water for 2 weeks.
And I agree nothing wrong with correcting wrong information. But bare in mind that information was intended to help so being respectful in doing so goes a long way in keeping a helpful community. From experience if it's done in a respectful way it's usually well accepted and when not it usually doesn't go over well. Please don't take that as a personal attack cause it's not. Give it some time for people to get to know ya and I'm sure you will fit right in and help lots of people like @Ace9137 said.

Again welcome to the farm brother

Sorry, but you are clearly blowing smoke. There is absolutely NO sign of nitrogen deficiency which would show itself by an overall yellowing of older, lower fan leaves and work its way up. Come on, even newbies know that.
Totally looks like nutrient burn but without more info on his feeding I can only guess it’s a bit too much nitrogen., or phosphorus deficiency.

This may help.
