Having issues with first autos

These girls are my first autos in about week 6. They have some yellowing leaves and curling/burnt tips. Is this from over feeding or something else?image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

Funny l was going to say magnesium. But got beat out with calmag! Some epsom salts in your feed should clear that up. If your using city water that is. They look nice and green except those lower leaves that dont matter much anyways. Its not N. Just my opinion but what ever it is its being rerouted from the lower leaves so it should be mobile. Check the charts because phos could be short too. But lll go with mag as my guess.

Anytime i see soil and the word feed together that's the cause. Newer growers dont have a lot of experience to draw from when the tachometer is redlining.
All posters could be right, but at week 6 i wouldnt change anything, you have a very mild issue, changing stuff could turn it into a bigger issue or start a new problem. You keeping notes on what you did and when?

Burnt tips is a classic sign of over feeding.

Leaf curl can be because of high temps so make sure things are OK in their.

Why not do organics? Much lower risk of nute burn, less problem AND better tasting bud!
Yah temps have been kinda high in 80s sometimes but i’m definitely looking into organic for my next grow

A ton more information would help make an accurate diagnosis. A picture alone will only yield you guesses.
There all in fox farm soil i water 2-3 times a week or when soil is dry and iv been using Advanced Nutrients 3 part fertilizer every few warnings. there on 18/6 light schedule. only 320 watt light.

Not fake news. Altho....I've seen some pretty smoked tips in organic grows as well....Every time it seems like a newbie picks up a bottle.. something goes wrong. I get the art of it all and the results... but man its nice to sit back...ph some water... mix some kelp, some mag...maybe tie a branch or two down and chill...appreciate the soil doing its thing......Also temps from 78-84 make my plant thrive... the moment it touches 85+ all production halts and things start to go wrong...also I found ...if your temp swings less during your light off hours.....it makes shit a whole lot better as well....here is a helpful chart....So bassically..want to run high 80s? get some c02 in a bag.

Did you start them in those pots? Did you transplant into fresh soil? Which Fox Farms soil? How much AN nutrients? What EC? How close is your light? Is it adjustable? What's the temperature and RH in the tent?
 
yeah big diff between.... Happy frog and ocean forest.....I been messing with mixing in strawberry fields.. stuff helps during flowering... but the drainage is piss poor... requires extra per-lite

i started in solo cups in same soil it’s ocean forest, i only used half the recommended amount for first couple feedings then switched to full amount, lights about 20 inches away and adjustable. atm the RH is 38% temp is 79, if closed all day it can reach 85.

Based on this information it sounds like overfeeding. Ocean Forest runs hot as is and then you're adding additional full strength nutrients on top. I wouldn't ever run full strength nutrients anyways, the manufacturer recommended amounts are usually way off.

Ocean Forest with nutes and it's only week 6 (ouch!). I use Happy Frog, no nutes and don't mess with the soil until week 6 at a minimum, then only top dress with more HF. But, your mileage may vary.
