Hi, can anyone advise on what’s likely to be causing the browning on the leaves? This ones the worst but one of the others have brown spots and another has a tiny bit of brown. The rest seem fine. I’m growing in soil using biobizz nutes with 3X600w + 1X900w + 1X1200w led lights. Thanks in advance for any help given
My guess is some kind of micronute deficiency (boron? Copper? Iron?). Or maybe even calcium? I’d skip the Biobizz nutes you’re using (Biobizz? What a joke.....) and water in some BioAg TM7. Straight water two days later and then a kelp/neem tea (1/2 cup neem, 1/4 cup kelp soaked in five gallons of water for 24 hours) two days after that. Then see how they look.
What’s the soil you’re growing in? What size pots, too? If you’re just in veg right now, I’d suggest getting them in bigger pots. But that’s dependent on the soil you’re growing in.
Looks like too much nute build up has blocked the roots.
I agree with too much nutes, possibly built up or locked out. the exaggerated raised ridges on the leaves has the overfed P or K look to it. Of course, too much P or K can cause a lockout of the other. Do you have a recent PPM/Ec measurement? Ph could be a factor, but with soil, there is less of a chance of it being a problem. Any special type or brand of soil? They seem pretty lush for not having too much nutes, although looks can be deceiving!
I’ve kept nutes really low though. Would too much additives such as bio heaven cause these problems?
You can also consider mixing 30 % of perlite in your next soil grow , that would help with drainage and probably help with over all root health , which would result in better leaf / bud health...Is it just me , or is it difficult to see problems when the entire plant is purple ?
Please shut the light and take a pic in normal white light....
maybe overwatering with heat/light stress.Hi, can anyone advise on what’s likely to be causing the browning on the leaves?

maybe overwatering with heat/light stress.
thinking it’s a combination of both.Good call. Overwatering a fortified mix is same result as overnuting basically.
And you might be right about the light/heat stress.

Unfortunately I don’t. This is my first grow (except a practice run with autos) and didn’t think EC reading were that important. As I said above though I’ve gone really easy on the nutes but have been using additives (Bioheaven) if that could cause problems? PH was a concern of mine because before starting the grow I read that I don’t need to worry about ph in soil grow but have checked it each time anyway and it’s always been around 7 which I know is a bit high and when I searched around for an answer to this problem it seems it’s debatable whether ph should be adjusted in soil. It’s plant magic soil.
Does the soil have nutes in it to start? I dont know what bio heaven is. And what is low. Ec (ppm) is tje most important thing to monitor in my opinion. No real need to deal with ph in a buffered potting soil.
