Thanks for your answer
I haven’t let the top layer dry, I only use bottles smart water with a ph of 6.
I have started feeding only water from yesterday and hopefully they won’t get worse.
I don’t really know what’s the runoff and how to calculate it so any other help is welcome.
Thanks

do you let top layer dry before irrigating/fertilizing again?
got your pH around 6.5-6.8?
make sure environment is right before assuming it's nute-related... can't place what that is.. very unlikely micronutrients in soil, so i'm guessing it's pH or watering habits?
if not, i don't know what that is. if you think yo have been aggressive with nutirents, dial back. try a lower dose after a water-only irrigation with 20% runoff -- next time required.
i see you use pk.. .could be locking things out...
calculate your PPM
P - 50-70ppm is likely okay, but ~50-55 is safer
K - 180-220ppm.. 220 is likely too high. 190-200 is likely good.
Lots of variables impact those generalizations.. so, don't do somethign solely because of what i wrote above. hopefully it fits recent behaviour and what you were thinking to start...

Nutrient deficiency? Or just getting ready for harvest? Sister plant is very green (different strain, strawBerry cheesecake, last pic)Plant is Raspberry Kush, I’m assuming it’s because she is close to harvest and it’s sucking all the nutrients out. Also, looking up other raspberry kush diaries i’ve noticed they tend to end up pretty yellow. Was fed bloom nutes yesterday but noticed lots of yellowing today.Week 9

3rd week since 12/12 and chlorosis is getting worse !!! Will my crop be crappy ?Brought EC to 1.6, added 21ml of calmag, had to add 2L of osmosis water because the EC was 1.78. I changed the bad Ph probe and I let it fluctuate between 5.75 and 6. Should I remove the aluminium foil on the pot to let them breathe ? Not sure they are overwatered, I'm desperate3 years ago

Dry spots on sugar leaves, plant late in flowering, also spotted on another one in the same reservoirHi guys,
my plant is around 2-3 week before harvest.
What is the cause of the these dry spots on some of the smallest sugar leaves on my plant?
The ppm might be too much and is around 1200-1300ppm.
PH is 6.0-6.1
I've spotted it on one other plant in the same reservoir.
Thank you3 years ago
