Hi there Aragon, you have nutrient burn from feeding too much, try cutting back on feed ever so slightly , the problem should stop spreading. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Brown Patches on Older LeavesSlight yellowing and brown mottled patches.
Only on one of the two plants and they’ve been treated and fed exactly the same.
On some older fan leaves, no signs of anything on new growth.
Anything to worry about at this stage? Maybe just a sensitive pheno?
Any advice appreciated.Week 7

K deficiency? Or something else?Not sure how to go about this deficiency. PH is solid at 6.5 so it’s not a ph issue. It seemed I had corrected the deficiency when it first appeared a few weeks ago, but now the brown spots seem to be spreading again. I think it might be K but not sure? Any ideas?Week 9

help in Hydro RDWC/DWCHello, my plants are now about 4 weeks old. The leaves droop and curl. The spots on the leaves are increasing. Is the PPM value too high? It's 1000ppm tds
They grow in an RDWC system with top feed. The top feed is permanently switched on. Can that lead to problems?Leaves. Curl down

Yellow/ brown leaves #2 (pics didn’t post the 1st time)Hey guys so my plants are starting to turn this yellowish color and I’m not sure what the problem could be. Sorry for the second pic, it’s kinda blurry but that’s the actual color compared to the other leaves. It’s my first grow and I’m kinda lost on a solution . Many thanksLeaves. Color - Yellow

Spotting issue consistent in all my grows. Have always thought Cal deficient but more Cal never fixes the issue. PH always checked with 2 PH pens 6.2-6.8.Always pops up around the same time in flower.. week 4/5. Brown irregular spots and occasional curling down on the fan leaves. The only things I have consistently used in all the grows is the LED light, RO water, and CALiMAGic. Switched to dry organics but now its back. N toxic?3y ago

Is 8 oz of water about right for 3 weeks old plants? Also thinking about LST, is it a good time to start that now? Also is buying nutrients worth it when it comes to harvest? Or is it more dependents on the power of the light ? Thank you for any advice 💯🙏🏼Week 3

Possible P Deficiency?Hey everyone, hope all is well. I noticed these past few days some dark spots appearing on some of my higher leaves. From what I’ve read it looks like it could be a Phosphorus deficiency. Any ideas? It’s on two out of three plants of the same strain. All same feeding schedule.Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

I water with 50% distilled and 50% rain OR 50% distilled and 50% tap. I have fed once with Grow Big and it happened right after. Might have rubbed nozzle on the underside of the leaves. I water every 2-3 days and water until drop of runoff appears in tray. How much runoff?Week 3

N or P deficiency?Need help to understand if this is P or N deficiency. It's on the lowest fan leaves, one is more pronounced than the other, and it's mostly on one side. Stems and veins look like they're giving hints of P def but from what I searched leaves look like it could be N def.Leaves. Color - Dark-purple
