Hello! I am a first time grower. I am currently growing Gold Leaf strain from 420. They were currently in their 2nd week of flower. The plants are in fox farm soil. I have 2 600w led lights about 15" above the canopy. I water them with 6.5ph water using General Hydroponics flora series. I use 8ml of the bloom, 5ml of micro, and 2ml of gro along with 3ml of calmag supp. The temp inside my 3x3 grow tent varies. The top, where the lights are, can get up to 85 degrees while under the canopy it can be around 73 degrees. it always seems to be hotter above the canopy than below where the pots are. That is one question I have, does it matter the temp above vs below? Is one more important than the other or should the whole tent be the same temp? When the lights are off the whole tent usually stays around 70 degrees.
The plants plants stems are turning purple with purple streaks going up the main stems.
The lower fan leaves are starting to fall off (I did some minor pruning but probably could have cut off more. So not sure if this is normal at this stage)
The tips/sides of the leaves are drying out and turning brown. It is in random spots too, not always at the top of the plant or the bottom.
Some of the tops are making a nearly 90 degree bend downward as well.
Everything I described I ruled it to be nitrogen burn and potassium deficiency but I believe the amount of nutes I'm using is correct. Again, this is my first grow so I don't have everything down to a science. The plants are still stretching nicely and the buds are coming in beautifully but I don't want my yield affected due to something I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas of what could be causing these issues?
