Why do I have brown/black spots on my OG leaves?
N1xonstarted grow question 5y ago
Bare with me please. I purchased "aPotforaPot" kind of on a whim late one night. I planted 3 weeks ago yesterday and have been feeding exclusively water with PH ~5.5. Just received Cal-Mag in the mail and plan to use on the next watering. I'm starting to notice spots on OG leaves

Hey!
Those brown spots are the beginning of a calcium deficiency.
Luckily yours has arrived and you can start applying it, after doing so you shouldn't have a problem with those brown spots any more.
Good luck and happy growing!

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to provide the info! Should I go ahead and follow the quantities for the cal-mag called out on the back of the bottle, or should I do what I've read around here about giving half dose or even a quarter dose to start?

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Unknown rust on 7th flowering weekThis started as what I thought was a cal/mag deficiency, bought some, gave it for a week at a good dose and 6.3ph, and this intensified and switched from just lower leaves to the upper and a few sugar leaves on one plant. Any ideas? May calmag takes awhile? Or wrong diagnosis?Leaves. Color - Dark-brown
