Oh Bro, considering the good general health of the leaves, these spots are very suggestive of droplet sunburn.

Browning of plant 1 lower leaves
Guidance please, On my 1st plant it looks like it has a pH issue however my other plants don't have any signs of a problem. I don't have a pH meter but have test strips and I have not seem an issue with my water. Is the browning on some of the lower fan leaves normal?

Rust on leaves
Hi everyone. I've discovered rust spots on my leaves. I can't tell if it's fungal or nute burn, the rust doesn't seem to be coming off on my fingers which I think is a good sign? Does anyone have an idea of what it could be and whats the best 'next step' to take? Thanks IA ✌️

Which pests do this?
Exactly what pest does this kinda damage? I have my guess, but wanna get other growers' opinion on this type of yellowing of leaves and brown spots. 6 weeks into veg. It started very early on at bottom leaves, once I trimmed them this brown spots appeared on top growth.

What is this!?
Hello there. I have, as you can see a bit of an issue regarding my plant. What is this? As you might see, the lower leaves seems ok, and that concerns me even more. I have flushed her properly and then gave her adequate amounts of feeding. At first I thought it was lack of P.

I transplanted these girls 2 days ago and have started them on a new nutrition. I’ve noticed some discoloration on one of the leaves today almost sure it’s the nutrients. Can someone help me figure the best thing to feed my plants? Thank you (nutrition diagram on my first diary)

Guess on what this is?
Unsure what this issue might be. PH seems in check going in and out. Getting mainly Fox Farms nutrients - got very weak doses of B-52 and CalMag a week or two ago. The other two plants are fine.

Browning leaves? Did a soil slurry and dropped the water from 6.8 to 6.2. Does that mean it’s locking out? How should I go about fixing this? In peat pearlite and worm castings. Added about 6 cups of lime to the 20 gallons of soil thought that should have helped the ph?

Deficiency?
Anyone seen leaf damage like this before? 6 weeks into veg in FFOF. A few fungus gnats but no real infestation. Not adding any nutes yet. Really concerned as the plant is looking less green and more yellowy than it did last week.

Is this bud rot?
I found strange purple/dark brow discoloration on one of buds and surrounding leaves. It could be caused by bad supercropp of the cola, or I am thinking bud rot. What do you think, should I harvest immediately, or am I stressing too much? RH is 50-60%, but the box is cramped.

Brown Spots on Leaves
I've got some brown spots showing up on the Wedding Cake leaves, first thought it may be mold but it doesn't rub off and I sprayed both plants with neem oil about a week ago just in case. Could be CalMag deficient? I use RO water with about 150-200ppms in 3 liters once a day.
