Nutrient burn? Nitrogen Deficiency?

Quick question, first grow. My G14 auto just hit 4 weeks post above ground. Been using FFHF soil with regular watering and 24h light. Flowering started a few days ago and I started using Tiger Bloom-figured I would start easy and just went with one teaspoon per gallon of water. Watered her two days ago and now suddenly seeing some distinct color differences on the lower leaves. Is this nutrient burn or potential potassium deficiency or gremlins or what

My first thought is those leaves have been touching the soil a little some point. And I'd just pluck them off.

Then I'd be curious about your water source and if you're pHing it too.

Also FF isn't the best for bottled nutes. Most people that I see using them struggle.

Thanks for the advice and the thread bump. Can confirm some of those leaves touched the soil when I was trying to get flowers more light.
Water source is my house water. No clue on the pH, might grab a kit next time Im out and see. Thanks!

The drops work fine too. You can even get a pH test kit in the aquarium section at Walmart if a hydro store isn't convenient.

And if you're on city water you should be able to find a water report online.

Here’s a picture of the three offenders at the bottom. My cat got into my tent for the first time so I removed them before she snarfed them. Didn’t know if this could help w diagnosis

Figured I’d send you a pic. Looks like whatever color change on that leaf that was happening hasn’t spread at least-stuck with bottled water for the week with a little FF in it.

Dumb question: does this look normal for the flowering stage?
