must know your grow conditions, soil, hydro, lights, indoor/outdoor, nute feeding and brand, pot size if in soil, temps, have you checked for mites all that

is this Potassium Deficiency? ...more than that! note the red stem, the red is the potassium can't get to/from the leaf cause your grow space is too cold at night, dry edges also look to your humidity is to low...to my blog for a flush ....:https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/flush-baby-flush.27513/
note.. many new strains also go 'red' without any explanation, just keep up your night temps

those prints on your pic can be stolen...re ID theft?

Is it Potassium or is it Phosphorous, Vostok? ;-) I've read Vostok's blog a few times in the past, lots of good stuff there "three weeks." Those tips look like nute burn. The spotting is a calcium def.
Red petioles are a sign of a Phosphorous deficiency which, can be locked out due to cold temperatures. Low humidity isn't usually an issue unless you're getting down below 30% and even then, the plant will generally be able to compensate so long as there is adequate hydration in the root zone. What are your night temps? What nutes are you using if any? Do you have a pH reading? What strain? What soil? Pretty much anything you can tell us about your grow will help. Good luck :peace:

Looks like calcium lock out. Can be cause by too much mag. Then too much cal can cause potassium lock out as well. i suggest flushing with plain water. then use kelp in a foliar and soil. that will cover the def / lock out.

Hey. Nice to see someone with reference material and takes the time to help someone. Looks like you will try and find answers yourself. Nice change around here. They will wear you out with the same questions all the time. Peace to you Brother or Sister. Sorry for the sidetrack.
