answered grow question 6y ago
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.

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.

Some kind of deficiency?
World of Seeds Strawberry Blue. Pretty slow, uneventful life this far (on me). What seems to be wrong? Veg and a lot of light. FoxFarm soil. Half to full strength of the General Organics line. Bottom main fan leaves going first. Please refer to pictures. TY for any input!

Hi Growmies, I have some drooping to the edge of leaves and discolouration. I've been watering every two to three days and live in a soft water area. Is this due to under or overwatering or is there possibly a nutrient deficiency. Thank you ✌️

Do my girls look healthy? There's small lighter green patches here and there and some leaf curl. I might be a over analyzing/reacting. I'm a little paranoid but autos supposed to be finicky and stunt easily, and can go from bad to worse very quickly, from everything I've read.Thx

What went on here??
This is an Orange Sherbet I grew in Happy Frog with the FloraGrow series. I harvested early because I thought the plant was dying, and couldnt seem to stop it by flushing. Does this look normal for a plant being flushed out? Should I have waited?

Cause for mottling leaves?
I think this mottled leaf coloration may be due to slightly high pH or just stress from the repotting over the last couple of weeks.. Most leaves are fine but a few look like this. Any thoughts?

Leaf changed color and spotting, help!
Any idea what I need to do to fix this? I think I over fed and then I recently did and RO flush. Then I fed it calcium herkley and harvest recharge in a little general organics bloom.

Manchas en hoja
Hola! Aparecieron estas manchas en una hoja de una GG#4 de zamnesia en su quienta semana vegetativa. No es algo que me preocupe, ya que la planta tiene una apariencia sana y crece vigorosa. Pero nunca vi este tipo de manchas y me gustaría saber su posibles motivos. Un saludo!

Yellow Leaves Autoflower
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?)

Yellow leaf tips and edges
Hi I've got a problem that I've seen from the start of my grow and it's getting worse on older leaves now - zoom in edges and tips are turning yellow. I thought it was magnesium so I've dosed with Calmag but it's not improved - I'm Ph6.5 - any ideas?

Small brownish spots forming on lower leaves. Need help with diagnoses!
Hi all. Just migrated plants to new tent/fan. I have much better environmental conditions. Now I have these leaf spots. I've included recent measurements. I was going light on the CaliMagic using 1/2 tsp per gallon. Is that my issue? Roots look good. Thanks everyone!
