Leaf tip burn or deficiency?

benjones · Dec 12, 2022

Evening all .
A few plants of mine have leaf burn on the tips and edges of mainly the fan leaves . Is this a deficiency or is it over fed that has caused it ?

Hard to know without more info. How much / what are you feeding? How often? What size pots? How much light?

Thanks for replying @growsince79
I use mega crop for nutrients
0.2 tap water
0.1/0.2 cal mag
1.2 nutrients
0.1/0.2 Epsom salts

EC 1.6
5 gallon pots feeding once every 2 days

Light is on 80% , 10 inches from the top , mars hydro fce 4800 , lux meter reads between 65000 to 55000 , but Photone app say 880 ppfd , but I have not had it calibrated and I am using paper that may be thinner than 80gsm so I can’t be sure how accurate the app is on my phone

Perfect next question. I'm leaning towards root problem due to incorrect watering.

You think too much watering? Or underwatering because it's probably coco?

maybe so. Too much light too, until it gets healthy.

Thanks very much @growsince79 and @2Bad

It’s coco .

I will have a look today and try and get more information.

There are about 4 plants that dry out quicker than the others as they are nearest the fans and some are shorter so not as close to the light . I will see how this tallies

yeah for coco most people do low EC , and they feed multiple times a day I’d say lower your EC for sure

Edit one thing I like to do is give phd water every other watering

Thanks @2Bad
I will lower the EC on the next few feeds . I usually aim for 1.6-1.7 , I have noticed the run off has been coming out around 1.8-1.9 the last few feeds
