Brown lined leaves

[straightup77]

Hey guys,

I wanted to reach out to some more experienced growers to confirm my suspicions of nutrient burns. I have 4 plants and this one plus a younger plant both experienced this issue, with some of the leaves. The reason I am unsure is I had my grow light roughly 18 inches away from my plants before switching to the flowering light; which increased the heat substantially in my grow tent. I have since moved my light about 36 inches away from the plants and the heat has leveled off at around 75F within the tent. The nutrients I am using are FF Grow Big and FF Tiger Bloom; Tiger Bloom was added this past week due to it being week 5 and time for the 12/12 cycle. I know for sure that I have not followed the schedule and fed my plants at .25% of the recommended dose, but I watered for 2 watering in a row with this level of nutrients. The only reason I am not 100% sure that this isn't light burns; is because it only affected two plants, which happen to be at the center of the tent, and because even with 2 watering at this dose it should still be well below the recommended doses for these products.

Setup:
3x3x6 grow tent
2000w LED with veg/flower lighting
FF potting soil

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Thank you!

It looks like a potassium deficiency.

Awesome, thanks Old Salty. I will adjust PH levels; I checked today, and the water I am using is around 7.8 ph.

Have you read @Emilya's "The Proper Way To Water A Potted Plant?" Many soil growers here have found it to be a valuable resource.

Thank you for the information, I am starting to read through it right now, and thank you Emilya!

Mine did this too but I’m in veg still and it took over the whole plant. Saved them but took a lot of work. I just finished reading the watering post by Emily. Great info. Soak and dry. That was the trick. I was underwatering a lot and it killled my soil which got my plants in a lockout. Soils ph isn’t as important as the water going ins ph. I had no idea but it’s true. Three weeks of not caring about the soil ph and the plants are thanking me haha.

It was really sudden; I noticed it on 1 leaf tip one evening and didn't think much of it. 2 days later and it was showing up on several plants on several different leaves. Lesson learned! lol.
I will keep in mind adjusting my watering frequency; I'm pretty nervous about over watering, and haven't gotten into a good flow for watering them yet. I would guess that there are some issues with my frequency due to my lack of experience! Hopefully this is the only major issue I run into and I can learn from this for my next grow
