perfectly normal. it has to do with the amount of light reaching the bottom of the plants. most growers prune the sucker branches and fan leaves at days 21 and day 42 of flower to allow light to penetrate through out the plant.

Hi growdiaries, Got a couple of issues on my plants here. The last 4 pictures show the problems, firstly there are holes appearing in the leaves and it looks like something is eating them. Haven't seen anything alive. Also a few spots appearing. Mould? Had bad air for a bit.

Is that discoloration normal for a plant at the end of flowering? My other plants also have some of this discoloration and they're not into flowering yet.

Hi 8th week of flower. Bottom leaves have turned yellow and died and yellowing is rapidly moving upwards. I think it's nitrogen deficiency so I've added more Biobizz Grow. Would be good to get an expert opinion! Thanks

Rust spots on leaves
Check the pics and recommend something to help a newbie out. I’ve seen it for a couple weeks. I removed all leaves with necrosis, but it came back. I don’t know for certain what it is. I think it might be a calcium deficiency. I was going to go out and get some gypsum, but I want

So at day 55 I'm noticing that some of my leaf tips are looking a bit burnt and some rust colored spots are showing up on the leaves. I read that this might a deficiency of cal or mag or a ph issue. Just wondering if any one could help my diagnose this issue and try to fix it.

What is wrong?
Can someone tell me what causes the leaves to look like this? It's only the smaller leaves by the look of it.

Deficiency or excess?
Looks to me like potassium deficiency leading to calcium and magnesium deficiency also... Any other suggestions?

Hiyo. Plz notice the 10/30 pics. Should be about 4 more weeks to harvest. I know she is going to start going off as we get closer but this is a couple weeks early for my liking. Any ideas? I water/feed with the basic fox farm trio. With 4 weeks left is it an issue? Thx.

Why do my plants only have that light greenish yellowish look at the top and why is one of my plants also having those sick leaves at the bottom?
2 of my 3 plants are a bit yellow-ish at the top since about a week. Plant 1 also had a couple of sick leaves at the bottom that I did remove. Those leaves had brown/dark spots, felt dry like paper, had very purple stems and did smell more like hay. More info in my report.

Rusty Spots
I've got some rusty splotches on leaves, I am thinking possibly a Cal-Mag deficiency. Any help appreciated. Will be addressing the issue tomorrow. Not from watering as I water direct on soil.

Nute or heat issue??? Help plz
Is this a nute issue or pH or heat? The plant is just under 60 days. The makes on the leaves have moved to all the major fan leaves. pH usually between 6.0 and 6.8 only starting feeding nutes a few weeks ago. This plant is in the middle of my sp3000 at a distance of 18" or 45cm

Novice grower, Outdoor. Started in a 70/30 coco-coir to perlite mix. Forgot Worm Castings until 22nd June, implemented with top dressing of Gaia Green Power Bloom and All Purpose. Overwatered at stem for a week or so. I suspect it's either an N, P ,or K deficiency (nuteburn?)
