Yellowing Tips

As the day progressed, the yellowing has become more prominent.

Is this a burn or deficiency -- or something else? The yellowing seems to be occurring on the upper leaves tips rather than the lower ones...

I have not watered my plants in over a week (and have not added any nutrients as of yet). Tomorrow I am going to add SPT when I water...

Your soil is hot is my guess. Try flushing to leech some of the slow release nitrogen from the soil. Is this showing up just on the new or old growth? I wouldn't add anything yet except maybe Superthrive to reduce transplant shock.

It looks like nutrient burn, so as someone else said it is probably that you have some 'hot spots' in your soil that have an overabundance of nutrients. I would recommend flushing the system with plain water pH'ed to about 6.5 when you do water. You mentioned that you hadn't watered your plants in over a week. Why so infrequently? Do you have really big containers? You should be watering your plants after the top inch or so of soil gets dried out.

growweedtoday:

3gal containers...

I was overwatering before and it damaged my plants. My plan is to water once a week from here on out. I'll be watering tomorrow. That's 8 days w/o water.
