My blue cheese has bright yellow tips on the new growth. They grow out of it. Looks similar but by the time my leaves get that size they are gone.

What kinda lights you got? Soil? What strain is it again? And how close is your light? How often do you water and what nutes do you use n how much?

Hard to say if it's genetic unless I know some factors. It's either genetic or they are hungry. By the looks the latter.

It's Royal cookies, basically forum cookies.
Full Roots Organics line. Surge, buddha grow, trinity, ancient amber, extreme serene, hygrozyme.
Soil is FFOF amended with azomite, dolomite perlite and some more EWC.
Top dressing with bat guano, EWC, uprising foundation, uprising grow, and Roots Elemental for calmag.
Topped 3 sessions, to reach 8 colas. probably like 40/50 days veg easily.

That's a long veg. I prefer short veg more plants. Personally. But yea I would say they aren't hungry. And it could have something to dp with too much amendments in soil. Ffof is a hot soil already man. So idk best to give water for 3 consecutive waterings, just to be safe it's not nute burn or ph lockout. You always adjust your ph right?

Yeah but it's day 50. FFOF wont be feeding anymore past day 30 or so. I started slow with the nutes and started late. its all recommended exactly by roots organcs. using their 5mL schedule to a T. So I don't think I'm using too much. It's all pretty low doses of everything. 5mL per gallon of everything. Top dressings are 2tsp per 5 gallon every other week.
I use 0.0 TDS RO/DI water, mix up my nutes, aerate for a day to get the benes ready and the ph back up. then I feed.
I don't ph anymore. Dont need to after using RO and waiting 24 hours after mixing. comes back to a nice range.

Trying to decide what to do. Pretty sure I've been overwatering this plant. I'll definitely let it dry out before I water or feed... but I'll have to think about whether I go back to feeding normal, or do the water water water. Might do more harm than good.
Other things Ive heard:
-Copper deficiency from overwatering by not totally letting it dry out between waterings. Was told to let dry out and return to normal routine. (this is what i suspect based on knowing i watered too often). Then make sure I dont overwater again
-Potassium deficiicny. Feed more.

Your leaves shouldn't be gone.

Yes, it was meant to be interpreted as the yellow areas are gone by the time they grow out of it. Sorry for the confusing wording. But I bet it's cal mag if anything like was said.

thanks man.
pH meter said the soil was right around 7.0, maybe just under it. One of those analog ones.
Runoff last night from feeding was 6.3-6.4ish
dolo was used to supplement the FFOF but that was 50 days ago and I didnt add too much. Only started top dressing with elemental in the past few weeks once I noticed calmag spots early on in the grow. calmag+ was my first pick, but I switched once I read about the EDTA in it and how its bad for organic grows and benes. So I got elemental.
I noticed from older photos that earlier leaves had the light edges and grew out of it into now totally healthy leaves... so just going to keep an eye on it. I don't want to make a big move now and cause different problems.

What did you put dolomite in rhe soil for? I never do with ffof.. has it in it already.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Unless it's just a really low amount. Always ran into calmag deficicuency issues by week 3 in FFOF using pure RO water in previous grows. In the past I just added calmag+ and all was well. This time no calmag+ since organic. Top dressing roots organics elemental is the solution.

Oh ok cool. Good to know. Thanks for the info my friend. Check my YouTube out it's for my grows, but I just started it. It's under Green state med grower.

Do you have a reverse osmosis system to make the water from tap water? That's awesome if so, I have been researching those and found one for 150 bucks new. Not sure what the specs should be.

More stages the better. I have a 6 stage which has been amazing the past few years. Hardly any maintenance

You can find faucet to hose adapters so you can run from your kitchen sink when you need water.

those cheap ph meters #s are worthless, just like run off .....................obviously you need to supplement cal/mag with RO, but it is a fine line.
good luck

You should supplement calcium and magnesium for growing in coco coir. If it's in soil (even using RO water) I would supplement it a 1/4 to a 1/2 of the suggested strength tho in soil, because there is calcium and magnesium stored in most potting soil mixes. Just what I do anyways.
