I need your help, I just noticed this little brown spot on one of my leaves. It doesn't look good. I'll put a picture of the evolution tomorrow. Do you know what it could be? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello. Don’t worry about that right now. It’s a great thing you care - but if you find yourself obsessing over scanning every leaf and identifying any imperfection you will drive yourself nuts and likely over correct for a non issue. Just relax, know that cannabis is an imperfect plant and sometimes there are weird things with the leaves that have nothing to do with nutes, environment, etc. That said - don’t be afraid of asking questions here when you have one. If you see other forms of leaf damage throughout the grow post them here. Some pest issues arise and affects leaves. Those you’ll want to jump on asap, but I don’t believe that to be the case here. Good luck

Hello, we are entering the third week of growth. Small brown / yellow spots due to a small fluctuation in PH are present but otherwise all is well! I will cut the apex this week in two days i think. I added ADN nutrients boost accelerator this week, hope the babys will like it. Peace !

(Water change) I had set to 5.5 PH and waited 20 minutes. I put in my fertilizers, everything was fine. The next morning the ph had dropped to 4.7.. So I put it back up. The next morning yellow spots appeared on the leaves. Did you confirm that is due to ph fluctuation ? Thank's

Aim for a ph around 6 this way if it drop it will dropbin acceotable range. Ph tends to swing if temps swings but not this much. Also check your ph after your mix your fert. Fertiliser wil drop ph. So if the water is at 5.5 and you add fertilizer it will drop a 0.8 to 1 easily.. i suggest putting ph buffer instead of changing everything. This low ph will eventually kill the plant du to nutrient intake problemes.

The gelato green is much better than the sour zkittles. She seems to appreciate the growing environment much more. The Sz has a PH blockage I don't know what to do... the young thumbs underneath seem to be doing well. So I'm going to let her grow quietly.

Hi growers, It's been a week and a half since I had a big ph change and the SZ has been hurting. Now it's around 6. Should I cut off the affected leaves to make space)? The ones below are growing normally now :) The green gelato looks really healthy btw ! Thanks u Peace

As much as I hate to say it, I would suggest removing the worst leaves, like in picture 3, to stop any potential issues with mould or fungus, especially the damaged leaves closest to the irrigation hosing. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Hello, See you for the last week of growth! The Sour Zkittles has regained a taste for life and is growing really fast! The green gelato continues to grow in width and it is very thick! The trunks are really big. In short, they are in very good health and drink about 1l of water per day. Peace!

Hello we enter in the second week of bloom, I left 5d in vacations and when I returned, many small points of rust appeared! The EC went from 1.2 to 0.4 in 5 days probably due to that. The Sour Zkittles is a bit more power than the green Gelato ! Otherwise, it grows well and starts to smell good. Can't wait to smoke them ! What do you think about ? Peace!

Hi, I went on vacation for 4 days, the ec went from 1.2 to 0.5 and many small dots appeared on a lot of leaves. Do you think it's due to that ? The ph went from 6.2 to 6.4 but I don't think that's it... Thank you for your answer :D Peace

I think the pH is too high for your plant to absorb calcium causing these spots to occur, I just cured a calcium deficient plant cause I was feeding with too low of a pH using coco. 6.2 and under is perfect of calcium absorption but since your doing hydroponics id say stay between 5.8 - 6.0 ph

Hello, I'm entering the first week of flowering, the pistils are coming! They are already present on some buds. I come to you to know if I should defoliate the lower part of the plants. It's a bit of a mess underneath. And the hygrometry rises (65/70%). Thank you for your answers

It should be more then safe to cut away the lower 3rd. You have a good canopy going and will provide more circulation. Happy growing and good luck 🌲🌲🌲👊

We enter in the third week of bloom. Yesterday I made a cut of the gourmands and the lower leaves. I stabilized the ph at 6 and put only flowering fertilizer! The SS is bigger than the GG but I plan to prune and probably add a fillet in 2-3 weeks to be able to manage the difference in height (SS=40-45 cm, GG = 30-35cm). I moved my box to my living room because it's too cold outside :p 13/01 : The plants are really happy with them new location ! It's about 20.5° night and 25° days. Peace!

My question may sound a bit stupid, but a cold spell is hitting my little region, and I've never had temperatures like this before. Inside the box it is 17° at night and 21° with the light on. Do you think it could affect the plants? Thank you for your answer! Peace

17 will probably stunt your buds and overall growth. In veg this wouldn't be a problem, but in flower I would highly recommend finding a way to get the temp up just a few degrees. Some strains won't be affected as much, but for many strains, it will hurt the final result a lot. Look up strain info on Google to find their temperature tolerance.

Hey 4rd week. The buds are coming slowly due to the low temperature. I hope this week will be better ! I did a defoliation to decrease the humidity. Btw, the SS start to have some purple color ! 19/01 : I noticed that my ph varied a lot, so I decided to rinse the clay beads with clear water (5.7 of ph). The roots are realy healthy :)

Hello, I think I have a mold problem in the clay beads. This morning I saw white spots. Can you tell me if they are deposits or mold? If it is mold what should I do? The roots underneath are still in good condition. Thanks you buddys.

Your root zone looks really healthy. The white stuff you see are actually new roots coming in because I am guessing your clay pellets are covered. The exact thing happens to my grows.. when I take the covers I have off there are roots growing exactly like yours are. Good work.. Smell your clay pellets.. It should smell Earthy.. if it smells earthy your in fine shape. Looks like you good amounts of drainage and a really robust and healthy root structure. What happens down below.. Helps up top :).

The buds are flowering. The SS have some deficiency causing by PH level.. Don't know what to do. I try to stay arround 5.8-6 but it's hard, i'm thinking to buy a pH controller and dosing pump for my next run ! Have a nice week Cheers

Two weeks of fattening remain. Then two weeks of rinsing with water! I'll start lowering the ec as soon as the weekend. The smell starts to be very strong! The GG is getting fatter every week, it seems to be a bit later than the SS.
