Dying leaves?? - Brown spots lower leaves

MrGreenMan
MrGreenManstarted grow question 4 years ago
The cotyledon leaves are dying on one of my plants, but these brown spots have spread across lower leaves that were damaged by the shell. Is this natural or is it a problem I’m unaware of? Not over-watering and pH is fine. Brown spots have appeared on tips of next leaves up now!

Your ph needs to be at 5.8 for soiless.

Yeah I thought that too, but I got these brown spots starting when pH was around 5.8 several days ago :(

If its hitting 6.2 then that can create spots. Cheers

Could it be a phosphorus deficiency?? Using less bloom than micro or grow nutes? Got slightly purple stems too

Water can channel like a river with fabric planters, so you may have some dry areas you dont realize. Maybe when you water let it sit in its runoff water until it wicks up some. Ph is the only other thing, so your runoff ph comes out properly?

@gmslave yeah see I'm watering the soil thoroughly every time making sure there's at least 20-30% run off every time. I've just checked the soil carefully and there's no dry patches at all I've been very careful with that so not sure the watering is the issue??

Overwatering is always keeping your medium wet not putting enough water through to wet the entire medium. Dry spots in your root zone, brown spots in your leaves. Make sure when you water/feed you get the water through to all the roots. More water to runoff. Cheers
