HELP! Nutrition Burn?

[MrZeuss]

Hi Team
I’m a new member, hoping to learn heaps. Quick question, I’ve noticed these yellow marks on some leaves and I’m thinking it could be Nute Burn? Too many Nutrients? These are in the Vege stage.

Either that or you splashed some fluid on them?

Yup looks like nute splash...you accidentally got some splashed on the leaves. It happens. I think most of us have experienced it once or twice. Hell I remember a friend of mine had a brother who though misting the plants with nutrient water was going to make his plant grow bigger and we all know what happened next.....

Thanks for the advice. So, just clarifying, I should never sprinkle Nute water on the leaves while watering? I had no idea!

you shouldn't spray or sprinkle the leaves once out of germination. The plant absorbs nutrients through the roots so if the leaves are exposed to liquid nutrients via spray or accidental splash they burn right away and even during germination you should only be spray misting with plain PH'd water. If you lack proper humidity in your grow space, try using an open bucket of water. if there is enough heat, the water in the bucket will slowly evaporate into the air. This will only work if the grow space is well enclosed and not too big. My grow room is approx. 6 x 10 so the bucket trick works great if my room temp is around 26C or higher.
