Heat or deficiency? Or something else?
RamboGringostarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm noticing some sort of deficiency or toxicity. I need help on figuring it out. I water with distilled water, cal mag, and 1/2 strength bloom boosters. Ph @ 6.5.
Could it be heat? It gets a little over 80 F. I have AC running, It's still cooler than outside in the sun though

80F isnt high enough to hurt them, its on the outer range but fine if thats the real temp at the leaves.
Weird things I have to go to the water, distilled has no minerals in it and thats not bad IF you add them.
THats why I put up with tap water. see some CA damage and the leaves are very dark but I am unfamiliar with the strain.
Could back off the PK booster see if its causing issues.
You da man, good luck

Looks like nitrogen overload. There's probably a buildup of it in your soil. The plant doesnt need much right now either, so what was fine in the soil now is much different than 2 weeks ago. Test runoff and flush if it's hot. Then restart your feeding program. Also, don't find out the hard way: too much P will block your calmag so if you start getting yellowing and brown spots on top growth, that's likely the reason.

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency?
This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!9 months ago

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktailTo repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?7 months ago

Bio Grow burn vs Bio Grow boostHi, it seems like she keeps getting nute burns as soon as i give her Bio Grow, even at half dosage (1ml/L).
She has only 10 more days of veg and i wanted to boost her, what if i stop giving Bio Grow altogether until flowering?
Is the tradeoff worth it? No burn but less growing?Week 4
