Brown spots/yellow tips after accidentally breaking a blade
Spliffliciousstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi!
I accidentally broke an older blade from one of her leaves, and after a couple of days that leaf started getting brownish spots and slightly yellowing tips.
Is this normal to happen after a broken blade and will eventually die off? Or is this any sort of deficiency?
Thanks !

one leaf showing differently to the rest should cause no concern. From what I can see the rest of the plant is super healthy. I would pull that leaf off and see if it happens elsewhere. Often fan leaves may develop a spot or two and die after a while. They are nothing to worry about though when a fan leaf dies and falls off as this happens all the time. What you will also notice is that in area where the plant is growing to densely the fan leaves also die off. Training and thining the plant out often feels wrong but can help produce a much healthier plant.
Happy growing pal

Braune Flecken an den BlätternHallo zusammen,
Ich habe seit ein paar Tagen diese braunen Flecken auf den alten Blättern meiner Pflänzchen. Die Wochen zuvor habe ich gedüngt, allerdings nur mit 1 ml BioGrow, 1 ml BioBloom & 2 ml CalMag von BioBizz — denke eher es ist ein Mangel.
Vielen Dank für eure tips!Week 6

Leaves keep turning brown and yellowIt all begann with what I thought was light burn. I then considered it CalMag deficiency. Giving it CalMag did not stop it.
My current guess is too low pH due to strip inaccuracies, so I gave it around 8 today instead.
What do you recon, why could it keep getting worse?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Yellow Spots on LeafesSome leaves have developed yellow / light spots. I also have thrips in my tent, but I doubt they are the cause of these signs because they have been there for a year, and I have always been able to keep them under control and the spots they cause look diffrently.

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC statica month ago

Are CBD-Strains less nutrient-hungry?Hey Guys, i experienced that these strains like a lower EC/TDS. Every time i went over 1.2 EC (600ppm TDS) they showed signs of over-nutrition, like very dark green leaves and reddish brown leavetips. What are your thoughts on this? Are CBD-Strains less hungry on nutrients?Week 13

Yellow tips at bud-leafsWhat is the worst case of what could happen to the buds and the harvest due to the yellow tip burn?
Since 5 days the near leaf buds have yellow tips.
It could have any reason. Flys, high ph, to high nutients.
