    Sick plants

    Can someone tell if this is a nutrient burn cause it happened after I applied limestone in the garden

    Hi, Mountg.
    No, it is not nutrient burn. That displays as +/- 1/16" browning of most all leaf tips. It is usually caused by excessive nitrogen being added to the soil. I would expect more leaf tips to be browned.

    Limestone is calcium carbonate, CaCO3.
    The Ca2+ calcium cation you added can raise soil pH. I would suggest watering to get run off and check the pH to confirm it is in the proper range for your chosen grow medium
    (coco? soil?).
    It might be high. If so, flush the soil today with properly adjusted, mid-range pH water for your soil type. And recheck. Maybe have to reflush until in proper pH range.

    I did notice some browning and leaf damage on your second picture. Let's leave that issue until after you have checked the pH and give the plants a few days to recover.
