Leaf colour question

Typically cold would cause it, but it kind of looks like the leaf is torn right there? I would guess the injury is the cause, maybe the plant can't move nutrients past the break.

Looks like the start of a potassium deficiency to me, as I see indications in the tips and edges of several of your leaves. Being only in one spot on the plant, I would deduce that this is the physical point in your grow area getting the most light, therefore getting the most photosynthesis and the most nutrient need. This leaf is your canary in the gold mine, letting you know that a larger problem is indeed developing.

Thank you for your help what product would you suggest to aid against a potassium deficiency? I use all bio bizz organic fert.
Hello @static123 hopefully you are well today.Hi, what could be causing this to happen ? It’s the only one that’s like it at the moment.
Many thanks
What's in your pots?
What stage are your ladies? Flower? Week? Or veg?
Stay safe.

It could be many things that are causing this... I wouldn't right away suggest adding more. Are you using the bio bizz exactly as it is suggested to use by the manufacturer?

Hi, they are in week 5 of flower, I am using all bio bizz and the soil is bio bizz as well. I started with a ph of 6.3 and slowly moved up to 6.5. They are under a 400w HPS room is around 23c humidity is now 35/40. The strain is kosher kush (an amazing strain that’s 100% indica) there is great ventilation in and out. The pots are air pruning ones can’t remember the size in litres tho.

Hi, no I am not using what they suggest as in the past I have and it caused nute burn. I have slowly built up to around 1000 ppm
A little nutrient burn won't hurt your ladies no harm or foul.
She is a little young to be cannibalizing her leaves.
You should try using your nutrients as suggested in the schedule.
Soil you feed in ml/l not ppm,s.
Feed properly as per the schedule and they should reward you soon.
BTW looks like you have thirps aswell . Sorry
Stay safe.

Then I believe that is the problem. Nute burn is vastly mis-diagnosed and feared way too much. I suggest you go exactly with what your nutrient system suggests, treating that dosage as a known given. Then if you have troubles after adjusting to that, it is most likely from some other cause. Maybe you will find that what you thought was a burn was actually indicating an underfeeding.
Have you ever heard the saying about having too many cooks in the kitchen can ruin the broth? Consider the manufacturer's recommendations the advice from the main cook, and all the advice you get from reading and watching things on the internet as additional cooks giving you advice.
Clearly, looking at your leaves, you are not feeding this plant enough. Be a little bolder in your approach.

Ok thanks everyone, I’ll do as you have suggested on the next feed, thanks all so much it’s very nice being able to reach out on here to get the best advice, these like all the other grows I have done is for my wife who suffers from MS so i’m always striving to get the best results as possible for her. Take care and I’ll post back in a few weeks.
Hope your wife is ok my friend.
You should see a noticeable difference soon.
BTW do you have a smoke detector in there?
Stay safe.

Oh one other thing I just noticed.
Your lady in the air pot, the dirt is concave ,funneling nutrients to the center.
If you build up the dirt at the base of your ladies water automatically flows to the outside of the pot.
Forces the roots to chase moisture to the outside of the pot for better air interaction.
There is a tutorial on filling air pots in my Gorilla Glue thread if your interested.

Good luck correcting the problem, but it shouldn't take nearly that long before you see results. If you fix what is wrong you should see results in 48 hours or so if the feed is the problem, and it will take 2 or 3 good dryouts to get the roots going again if overwatering is the problem. Please come back with any additional questions as they come up and we will all try our best to help you sort things out.
lookin like a thrip issue in the last pic,, not related to the pretty leaf tho
which is what i think it is,, a pretty leaf,, 5 weeks in flower looks a bit low to me,, i see plants nearing maturity
and i would guess cooler night temps are contributing,, tho oh so many strains produce those colourrs naturally, nearing flower end
just my opinion without reading most of the rest,,karma sent friend

Well spotted, I just googled some pics and it’s a perfect match to some of the leave, I have even just spotted sliver like trails on them, what can I do this far in the flower ? I don’t want to run the risk of causing mould if I have to spray them.

so today I have started to get rid of these Thrips, never seen nor heard of them before so this is a new one for me.
I have left dermatitis earth on the top of the soil so hopefully that will cut the little buggers up down there, I have also let of a smoke bomb to try and get them and will be adding BioGreen Garlic to the feed and i have placed a Neem Organic Control Cube in there. I am concerned that this Neem Cube will effect the smell and taste has anyone had any experience with this ? I have been looking on line for everything Thrips related and I cant seem to find out if they eat the buds ? Ill do another smoke bomb tomorrow and prob the day after hopefully that will help. I have had a good look and there seems to be not many leaves effected and I cant see any of them anywhere. I am guessing keeping the humidity low and having fans blow on the topsoil will help? Any info and advice would be amazing.
Many thanks as always.

These pests oh so difficult to completely eradicate. They so sneaky and hide in the teeniest places
I have not used neem ever. I have had thrips. Might still even tho been a while since i have seen one
A steady and consistant spray routine with safets soap helped me keep them to a minimum and i just might have ridded myself of them after many months of trying

Unfortunately I cant spray as these are week 5 in flower.
That is not a problem. Least never has been for me
A good bud wash after harvest and all is good
Dont over do it and for sure make sure they are dry before putting under the light
Spraying my buds has never gotten me bud rot
I had a dream i had bud rot once. Truth. But have never had it
