Hi my leafs are turning into this, is it normal?
hey there @Bseis not normal IMHO…she is in flower but doesn’t look far enough along to show that kind of leaf …this is an auto and not my area of expertise but what I have noted on others posts is that they can go sideways sometimes…

Looks like you might be outdoors? To me it’s almost looking like pests. I would check leaves with a microscope, jewelers loupe or magnifying glass. Check everyone top and bottom.
ETA: are you spraying the leaves when watering?

Nope I dont spray them, when watering
I will buy a magnifier and look for pest ive been struggling with white flies and so on but the yellowing its moving fast for sum reason.
I Have 4-6 weeks to harvest and I hope this don’t interfere with the harvesting

Looking alittle closer I see lots of clawing leaves and excessively painted nails, looks like you may be real deep into nitrogen toxicity?? Are you still feeding with nitrogen? How often are you feeding and how much/gallon?
Are you using a ph pen and TDS/ppm meter to check run off numbers??

I give them 1 ml of fish mix
1 ml of bloom
And 1 ml of top max also calmag between weeks
And everything mixed with 1 liter of water
The ec is 890
And ph if my pen is not malfunctioning 6.6 to 7.1
I thought ec was like 2.3 or 3.0, something along those lines? I don’t use EC, I use PPMs. But if you’re reading PPMs at 890 that’s not all that high. It could have been something that happened 2 weeks ago though and you have already corrected it from the looks of that pic.
PH looks good, nothing concerning there

I mean ppm my bad, even so I will put sum more bio bloom that have nitrogen and fosfuros I was reading around and it looks like nitrogen deficiency even so I can be wrong but im almost harvesting so its the only option,

To me it looks more like nitrogen toxicity not deficiency. Once flower hits their need for.nitrogen drops significantly

This looks super healthy, showing a slight sign of painted nails (burning tips, which means she’s maxed out on nitrogen)

This is clawing and excessive painted nails (burning)
@ChittyChittyBangin may know the nutes your working with better than me though

the first picture didn’t show this bud structure…this is a nicely forming cola so may be you are far enough along to show that kind of leaf and nothing to do with your nutrients

That’s calcium deficiency. @Bseis
No N toxicity seen. It’s crazy to see what people are calling clawing and painted nails.

You’re PH is way low. Get that back up to 6.5-7.
You’ll probably have to water with 7.5-8ph’d water until the run off numbers get up to 6.5-7. I would start with a gallon. Check r uh n off, then empty run off container, do another gallon. Check the PH of that and go from there.
That low of PH is going to allow nitrogen to enter the plant but and PK get locked out/don’t take up as well. Calcium appears to get locked out as well.

Yes, what are you circled is called painted nails.
That’s not at all what painted nails means or the cause. Painted nails means your feeding is right on the verge of burning the tips. You are at the max feeding PPM when the tips yellow (painted) but don’t burn. That’s a good sign, and it indicates proper feeding practices. If they go from yellow to burned, back of the feeding PPMs a lil bit, you’ve exceeds the threshold for a week or two.
It’s caused by high PPMs and can happen even if you’re not giving any N.

I agree, my terminology there was bad but trying to simplify the wording. That is nute burn, not painted nails but painted nails usually show before nute burn.
I was always told that nitrogen was the main factor, maybe I was taught wrong.
But what his second set of pictures shows is painted nails. The first pictures show some form of burn which appear to me to be an excess uptake of certain nutes and a lack of others shown by his PH.
This is painted nails below and shows maxing out on nutes, that is usually when I back off on feeding cause you’re getting to the point of burning.
