Possible manganese deficiency?
Jake13255started grow question 5y ago
I fixed some previous issues and have not been feeding my plants. They are in peat and worm castings and pearlite. About 6.6ph soil, watering with 6.5-6.6 water. I am going to water with nutrients again to see if that helps just want to hear another opinion.

Lower your ph to a 6.2 range. Plants have a good absorption rate for cal mag around a 6.2 range. Also make sure your having good run off to flush old nutrition out that is used as your replacing it. The plant still needs phosphorus and potassium at this stage as well. Not a lot. Good luck hope that helps. Happy growing π²π²π²π

Could be manganese but I think calcium is more likely. Just make sure one or more of your nutrients contain micronutrients.

More rusty spotsSee this now on more and more leaves. Only upper fan leaves that get good light exposure seem to be affected from this and also the clawing.
Have backed off the nutes completely for now and will add ground egg shells to the water in the hope its a Ca deficiency.5y ago

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?6y ago

When should I put the pellet in the 5 gal pot??I am currently growing a tangie'matic with "a pot for pot" grow kit. At first the seed germinates in a pellet. Then it says "put pellet in 5 gal soil mix after 10 days or when the third set of leaves matches the second." I did it after 10 days and this happened.Leaves. Curl down
