Brown spreading spots

TheDoctorstarted grow question 6y ago

Hi there! I found some strange brown spots on my tangerine dream, which are spreading. It looked like a burn, but the ,,burnt“ patches are not crunchy! Do you guys know what it could be?

Hey there, that looks like a "random" pH fluctuation , as i can see from the splotchiness of the spots and the burnt tips which is a sign of some kind of metal absorption problem probably due to a watering raising the pH temporarily . But if the leafs arent really drying out like if it was affected by nutrients maybe they're "variegated" leafs , but i've never seen it go like that . Hope this helps ! 🚀

This is caused when a ph fluctuates and also during sulphur deficiency. Try adjusting ph and give in some calcium magnisum and sulphur to correct this. Giving only sulphur wont help ; as it requires calcium and magnesium to synthesize it.

Brown little spots on leaves 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

Bottom leaf turned yellow with brown on edge Hello this is my first grow and had noticed a leaf turned yellow with brown spot on the edge. This is a northern light auto just kicking off with her flowering. I use advanced nutrients 3 in 1 micro grow and bloom and that's all I've ever used. I suspect a nitrogen deficiency...?

I wanted to ask if you think this plant has mold or if it's just a major deficiency due to a blockage. I have an indoor plant next door with some plants growing with dark spots, it's in my previous question. Sorry for giving more information, I don't know what would help.
