Help identifying deficiency
DreamCatcheranswered grow question 6y ago
If it happens on the lower/older leaves at the bottom of the plant and crawling upwards then its a nitrogen deficiency yes, but looking at it it has discoloration between the veins which makes me think it might be a calmag imbalance. Looking very good though ^_^

Looks like nitrogen to me. Boron usually has really twisted new growth on top of the color. Iron can sometimes look like it if your PH is off.

Leaves are drying up and turning yellowHello,
Something bad is going on with my Hulkberry plant. I think it might be due to giving it to much fertilizer.

Veg Nute IssuesHas anyone seen any diaries that catalog a successful sick veg -> healthy flower recovery? I'm curious to see how sick growth transitions to healthy growth over several weeks. Current issue: a) LED intensity, b), N excess, c) PK def, or d) cal/mag def(rust on leaves top and btm)?Week 6

Nute burn other symptoms. Is this a case of overwatering?Hey peeps,
One of my plants (start of week 5) Started with burnt tips due to nute burn which I've taken steps to halt. Lower leaves started yellowing and drooping, but now a few newer leaves started showing yellowing as well.
Is this overwatering + nute burn or is there more?Leaves. Dropping off

I need help troubleshooting weak plants! I think the clover might be the culprit but what do I do?Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these plants and what I can do? This is my first grow. I can already tell the seeds are growing slow because other seeds I planted in smaller pots are growing much faster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Leaves. Curl down

Correcting some thingsMy buddy is showing some deficiencies, might also indicate not right pH values. Should I wait for the soil to completely dry before correcting the pH or should I flush right away?
Also why does it take 4 days for the soil to dry? I always make sure she drains every time.Leaves. Color - Yellow
