What is causing this

[judohero]

my plants are doing pretty well i think for my first attempt at growing one of the plants is starting to turn a yelowish color around the edge of a few of the leafs. does any one know what could be causeing this.

 

[spongey600]

my edjubacated guess would be too much ferts or maybe over watering

 

[xcphantom]

agreed ^ could be either

Looking at the burning, I would agree and say it's a fert problem...

yup salt burn ftw.

when you water it, you letting the water seep put the bottom or just getting it wet?

i just added fert to the plants a day before. had watered them from the top to get the mixture to absorb in to the soil. so whats the fix. i used less then the recommended amount of fert.

What's your watering/feeding schedule? Looks like the plants are being burned with too much fertilizer.

burn is permanent so the tips of those leaves will not repair themselves. All you can do is prevent further burn. if you notice its spreading then flush from top to bottom out the drain holes with fresh water. It doesnt have to be too much you are just removing any build up of salt in the soil and I consider fertilizer a salt just like us we need salt but not too much or too little or it has a negative impact.

once the balance is back then future leaves will be completely healthy and if thats all the damage you have to those leaves they will be healthy too just damaged on the tips.

Looks like a pretty mild burn, I would just not give them anything for awhile.

it may be a little bacterial in this case please try to circulate the air in the grow area
to dry off the leaves and encourage deep 'breathing'

they are looking pretty healthy overall. yes the edges browned do look like may be fert burn
but looked like may be some bacterial leaf spot on the 'older' leaf in first photo (not focused on )

good growing

nitwit i think you are right on with that i did notice little dots on some of the leafes. the yellowish color came later i just happen to add fert right before the color change. thanks i got my fan on more often and am trying to get more air to them
