Phosphorus deficiency? Week 5 of flowering
microgrowshowstarted grow question 6y ago
Is this a phosphorus deficiency? I originally saw orange and brown spots form on other leaves, but now I'm seeing blackish/purple spots. I've been having soil pH issues with this one, so may need a proper flush. Temps have also been low the past few days (60-65 but as low as 56)

This could easily be a P deficiency, getting to mid flower P demand increases, not enough will cause purple petioles and stems, dark green older leaves, necrotic spots with leaves finally twisting, fading and falling off. P deficiency will also cause calcium problems due to how the 2 interact in the plant. I'd flush her good, and give her a feeding with some added P (at the proper ph of course), and see if the symptoms stop spreading. Happy growing.

Hello microgrowshow,
Brown spots usually tells that it is a magnesium deficiency. It could also be a Potassium overdose. Add some cal-mag and check the runoff with a nutrient ppm meter.
Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

Emerging Issues - Week 9At the beginning of the week, I noticed the tips of the leaves drying out. Now, one out of the four plants has completely yellow leaves. Could it be due to the increased Biobizz Bloom dosage? For more information, please check my journal. Regards.

Flushed plant for 36 hours out of fear of Nutrient lock. Not sure what to do now. Love to hear from the experienced folks!Plant has been slow to grow last 5 days. I thought I was over feeding (puffy dark green leaves, burnt tips) so the last 36 hours I have been feeding RO water and H2O2 to flush. Not sure what to do now as I am looking at her. Love and appreciation for any suggestions!

Ph value is decreasing despite BioBizzUpI don´t get it I´m trying to increase the Ph value but it is permanently falling again to a value of 4,2.
Any idea what could be the reason why my Ph adjustments (BioUp) are not taking effect in the soil.
