It looks like a Calmag deficiency. I would add some with your next feeding. 1tsp/gal and the problem should stop. The rust spots on the leafs won't go away but shouldn't spread or get worsem

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

Browning leaves? Did a soil slurry and dropped the water from 6.8 to 6.2. Does that mean it’s locking out? How should I go about fixing this? In peat pearlite and worm castings. Added about 6 cups of lime to the 20 gallons of soil thought that should have helped the ph?

1. Over Fed (seaweed?) 2. Burnt? Cauliflower.. 3. Calcium Deficiency 4. Hydrogen peroxide 12% Food-grade 30/70 Mix. Personally I think it's the hydrogen peroxide 12% mix, the hydrogen gave one of its atoms to the neuron of the Diatomaceous earth metal clay. With help from heat

Is this Phosphorous deficiency or overfeeding?
It happened from day to night, the watering with Fish-Mix and Bio-Heaven was made days ago. Otherwise, I haven´t feed her any bloom nutes yet. Peace ✌️

Burnt? PH lock-out? too much Cal-mag??
What do you think is wrong with this plant? All the other plants surrounding her are fine so I'm not sure what went wrong with this one. I thought it was cal-mag deficiency at first so I doubled cal-mag when feeding but it only proceeded to get worse. The buds look fine tho 👍😳

I think my plants are suffering a Phosphorus deficiency due to lockout due to low ph of soil. My first flush only helped for a while. As soon as the medium gets too dry damage resumes. I went to check on them yesterday and the amount of damage they took in 24 hours was pretty bad

Guess on what this is?
Unsure what this issue might be. PH seems in check going in and out. Getting mainly Fox Farms nutrients - got very weak doses of B-52 and CalMag a week or two ago. The other two plants are fine.

Brown yellow leaves?
Can anyone help me? I had this issue with my last early Miss and thought it was a cal mag deficiency. I tried to adjust it last time during flower but it didn’t help. I really only notice it on one of them so far but I would like to fix the problem sooner than later.

Help diagnose hydroponic plants! Too much light/heat? Nutrient issue?
The plant's leaves on the right are wilting and drying out, while the leaves on the left are spiking. Just did a nutrient/water change but it didn't help, and it looks like growth is being stunted on the right plant. Humidity has been around 45-55 rh and temp 70-80F
