This Journal Entry is for 12-30-2018 to 01-05-2019: I went Camping over the weekend. Watered the plants on Friday before I left with the usual mixture of 1tsp Fox Farm Grow Big 6-4-4 with one gallon of water per manufacturer recommendations. Returned on Sunday 12-30-2018 and plants looked good so I decided to go ahead and add some cal/mag to the water for today. I may or may not have also adjusted the lights lower. I think that I did. Anyway, Althea developed some spots on her top leaves that I noticed starting on Late Sunday Evening/Early Monday Morning, Today is Thursday 1-3-19 and the plants still appear to be thriving but the spots on the leaves remain and are looking like they have destroyed that part of the leaf. Wondering if I should trim those leaves off or not? New growth appears to have some defects on it as well. Not in the way of brown spots but more on the end of the leaves it looks like there is a little black stripe across the leaf maybe. Delilah, on the other hand, is rocking and rolling and I am not sure what I am doing with her but she appears to be tolerating all of the nutrient changes just fine. Going to do some tinkering to find out what is the matter with Althea and maybe nurse her back to good health. I am also wondering at this present time when these plants will be ready for the flowering stage of life.

What up B ! yo you got a bunch of stuff happening bro, first off over watering, you can tell from the wrinkles and the puffy space between the veins on the leaf. Second you have (/had?) some sort of PH fluctuation which is causing that burning you're seeing on those leaves. Hard to fix but basically you want to make sure your watering are at around 21°C and 6.0PH . Keep the affected leaves around so you can see if the problem is getting worse or not, i wouldnt remove the leaves until they are like 70% destroyed, what's simple leaf plucking to you is HST to the plant does that make sense ? you dont want to stress her just yet... Thirdly I'm not liking that color on those leaves, why? looks like you're feeding flower nutes and she's lacking Nitrogen , simple as that - try upping it by like 15-20% see if that helps . Finally, i'm not liking how those leaves are curling on the edges, you're tuned in light and temp wise so the only thing i can think of is that the overwatering has led to the start of minor root issues. Not as bad as it sounds but it ill hurt the growth... so try adding enzymes or humic and fluvik acids the next few watering to break down the problem roots and see if she recovers. Hope this helps ! 🚀

To answer your question: Do you see those curled margins on the leaves and how the leaves are puffy looking between the veins, that's a sign o over watering, for either giving too much water or too often, most likely caused because the plant is in a pot too big for its size, so mind how you water and let the soil get dry before watering again. Anyway, back to your questions, the blackish tips on new growth is nutrient burn and the spots are calcium deficiency, in this case cause by lockout due the excess of other nutrients (usually P and / or K). Stop feeding nutrients and the plant will recover; do not feed if there's no sign of deficiencies, the 5 gallon of soil will lasts you several weeks before needing additional nutrients. As for cal-mag, before using it, I would advice you to measure your water EC/PPM and unless it is lower than 0.4 EC / 200 PPM, you will no need it.

@@Athos, Thanks for the reply, I have heard your comments and no more water until the soil is dry last water was on 1-1 and the girls don't appear to be needing any water yet. Thanks again, my friend.

Welcome to Grow Diaries and congratulations on your first grow! If you have any problems with the platform feel free to ask! To answer your question about the brown spots: It looks to be an immobile nutrient problem evidenced by the spread of necrosis(death) on the midgrowth. This would be a Calcium deficiency in that case. Its hard to tell with the lighting, but it looks like you also have slight chlorosis(yellowing) towards the edges of leaves which points to a Mag Deficiency. Personally I would Increase the Calmag. 😎
