I have looked at the plant problem forum and i have a thought but i want to be sure and would like an opinion from an expert if possible..

this is my problem leaf.. they are bottom leaves, the set above them resmbles them slightly but not nearly as much.

chemical burn due to over feeding check your ph levels and back off on your fert. half or quarter strength

No matter what you put into your plant you need to test the ph level. Still looks like chemical burn.

For soil the best ph to have is 6.8. Why? Because at 6.8, that’s the best number for ALL available nutrients to be absorbed into the plant without any of them being locked out.

For hydro and soil less mediums best ph to have is around 5.8.

Try not to keep your plants to cold, because the cold temps will cause the nitrogen harder for the plant to be absorbed.

Phosphorus deficiency during vegetative growth is a possibility. That is if your leaves are burnt around the edges (of course not all).

Yes i know i should check PH, what i meant was before this even happened to the leaves i wasnt using any ferts at all. just distilled water which has a PH of 0 i believe. Should i clip these leaves?

Yes i am aware now i was taking word of mouth from someone before i understood about ph.. basically i was trying to say it's ph is normal and wont change a ph of 7 to something else...

i have also finally acquired a PH meter. For soil only.. and being out of season i only found 1 water PH test kit with the powder stolen from it. so i have to order online and wait.. but i took some mid-deep soil into a cup and then soaked it with the miracle grow water solution i am using now. just enough to make it mildly muddy like the directions for the meter said, anyway the PH is 7 to 7.1 in my soil with my miracle grow so i do not have any ph problems.
