Not sure why but I'm guessing your pH was a little high 2 weeks before this. Ok did I bingo?

sure ill play along, this looks like too much nitrogen at some point or this plant is a very picky eater, either way less nitrogen

What’s with this Odd growth rate and leaf pattern
Stunted growth on 16 day old northern lights auto. 1/3 coco 2/3 fox farms ocean floor. gave it a minor dose of cal mag plus just in case this is a developing deficiency. It has three nodes but it is very small at approximately 1.5-2 inches. The pattern may be genetic?

Leaf problem, insects ?
Plant is approx 60 days old. I have found and washed off what look like insect eggs under some of the leaves but have not seen any webs or moving creatures. Is it insect damage or could it be fungus. I have 2nd plant that seems unaffected. Mainly lower older leaves affected.

Hey guys I'm puzzled i took one picture of a leave from my Royal Ak 47 Auto. As you can see this is not a nice green healthy leaf (many others are like this). What's the issue? Is it worth treatinbg this late in the growing stage? Love to hear your opinion :). Cedji

I'm still guessing what caused the disease i noticed on a single plant the first weeks of grow. A disease that didn't spreaded at all, and that affected only 2 leaves. You can see it on (Week 2 - Photo 21), (Week 3 - Photos 7, 11 & 17) & (Week 4 - Photo 4).

Nutes too early?
The leaves of my northern lights look a little brittle and discoloured, maybe the small amount of nutes I gave were too early?

What issue is this?
I have some dark spots on a few leaves, some looks like a cal or mag def but some are a little hard to identify. What do you think these are? These haven't had nutes, about 25 days old or so, Nectar of the gods #8 fed PH 6.3.-6.5.

Can someone look at my newest pics? 1 of 4 plants (shortest of the 4, so its not light burn) has about 6-8 fan leaves like pics. Happened 36hrs after i did a big flush, that brought my ph down around 6.7. I think its either too much nutes, or lacking phosphorus. Help!

One of my seedlings, seedling A, is twisting a bit as it grows and has some small lighter patches on a few of it's leaves. The other seedling is growing in the same conditions but very normal in it's growth. Any idea if this is a genetic variation, or an environmental issue?

Leaf browning, yellowing curl one day change.
Over night my plant went from looking good with maybe a calcium deficiency to curled leaves looking very soft and drooping. I sprayed with insecticidal soap, but in the past no harm. It is growing outdoors, 30c 60% humidity. Any help appreciated. I sprayed with kelp today.

Hi there, does anyone have any idea what the slight mottling is on the leaves of two of my plants. There are close-up pictures under Day 27 in Week 4. The discolouration is present across multiple leaves, but seems to only be happening to two plants out of 8. Thanks!

I suspect I have either leaf septoria or a calcium deficiency. I'm 2 weeks from harvest. The top leaves appear to be affected. The smell has changed (sharper). Not sure what to do from here. All advice appreciated :)
