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.

The young seedling leaves seem to have some sort of bruising. The young fan leaves are fine though, is this something to be concerned about or is it quite normal?

Spots on leaves, because of transplant, new light or overwatering in week 4?
The leaves have some brown spots on it, is it because the overwatering last time (like I think) or do you guys suspect something else..?

Recurring Cal Mag issues
I’m already at the maximum recommended cal mag dose of 1ml/litre (with nutes at 1000ppm or E.C. 2.0) and I’m still facing issues. It went away for a few days, but it’s now back. Should increase the cal mag dose and cut back on the macro nutes to maintain 1000ppm?

Is this septoria or alternaria? The plant is doing well, buds are not affected (at least not now) so I hope it’s septoria. Few weeks till flowering complete, do you think I can carry on with it? Please tell me it’s septoria and not alternaria. Thanks to anyone that will respond

Help the rookie w/ a possible calmag deficiency?
Does this look like a calmag deficiency? Link to my journal entry for settings/water param/etc for these to see if you can spot the issue? https://growdiaries.com/diaries/187101-grow-journal-by-mrlahey. Using TDS 0-2 ppm ro/di water with calmag additive.

Weird copper/dark purple colors on greenhouse plant leaves. Do any of you k ow what type of deficiency/ toxicity/ root problem this can be ? Closest I can think of is Phosphorus deficiency but I cant pinpoint it. Any help from someone who might have experienced this will help🙏🏻

What is happening? (First Grow)
Is what I'm currently seeing nutrient burn due to low pH? If so, what can I do to fix a consistently low runoff pH (7.1 in 5.6 out)?

Fast-growers starting to show issues.
Got some issues on these fast growers. I've been treating it as a cal-mag deficiency, however I've been feeding calmag for two weeks and its only getting worse it seems. Any thoughts? PH is 6.0-6.3, PPM 444 feed, RH 47-50%, Temp 77-81f.

Neuts lockout possibly??
Gave them all haircuts then topped off w new soil in the pots on Sunday night. Watered w nutrients but then today they looked like this!! They’ve gotten progressively worse since Monday morning so I’m thinking possibly a nutrient lockout? I watered just now w flora-Kleen

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?

Discoloration???
Noticing slight discoloration on Gelato, running in living soil, does this still have something to do with a nutrient deficiency? Has anyone encountered something like this?

What's wrong?!?
Help! I thought I had this. Is this calcium deficiency? I've been using treated water (1tsp CalMag+ 1tsp Grow Big per gallon). It's just getting worse. See photos and descr. from past few days.

It's day 17(Dec9) and my leaves have a strange discoloration. I can't seem to find out the problem. I have uploaded a picture of how it looks in detail Under week3. Only the older leaves have it with the oldest having the most discoloration.
