I've got two outdoor headband plants in their first 2-3 weeks of flower that were repotted one week ago. I consulted the RIU community prior to repotting and, if you're interested, the thread can be found in the outdoor forum under the title "Outdoor headband with droopy tops." Basically, my plants were root bound and were repotted in 15 gallon fabric pots (from 7 gallon) with 5 gallons of TGA super soil on the bottom and half way up the side and the rest with 2-3 gallons of Roots Organics Soil. The plants seemed immediately happy in the new pots with leaves nice and perky. But, after two days, maybe a dozen leaves or so developed burnt tips, first turning yellow then eventually brown and crispy. The burn was mostly on lower leaves, and was also much worse on the lower leaves, and about mid-way up the plants a few of the larger fan leaves also have burnt tips. Also, a few of the lower, internal leaves have begun turning yellow and can be easily removed with hardly any force at all. Otherwise, the plant still looks nice and healthy. I'm a little concerned its budding slow for nearly 3 weeks flower, but i think repotting might have slowed it up a step, so maybe it's really more like 2 weeks flower.
I'm thinking repotting in the straight super soil may have caused some nutrient overload and burnt up the tips a little. Of course, they'd been originally planted in straight super soil so I guess that might not be the case. My logic is that since they'd been in the original super soil for 2 months the nutrient content must have been somewhat diminished and when replanted in the fresh soil they were a little overwhelmed.
the only other option would be some sort of deficiency, but i'm hesitant to treat any deficiencies because if its nutrient burn adding anything to the soil would probably be a catastrophe.
I've uploaded some pictures to help with the diagnosis: the first is showing the overall plant (minus the top because it had my neighbors house behind it... looks pretty healthy i think); the second is a lower leaf ; the third is a fan leaf midway up the plant; 4 and 5 are bud shots (look kinda small to me); and the last is a shot of one of my favorite branches... bottom branch busting with bud sites.
