Blotchy Leaves Problem - January 27 (Day 23)
GardenSchoolstarted grow question 6y ago
In the last 24-hours all three of my plants have started to show signs of blotchy/irregular colored leaves. When I touch the blotches they are crisp to the touch. I have a really cheap pH meter, and I've been feeding at 6.5 pH. Is this a pH issue?

Hi!
This kind of spot is indeed related to pH problems.
I would feed with a slightly lower pH.
Check your value in the soil.
How is the drainage after your watering?
Your light cycle is also set to 24/0; these are photoperiod plants, so they need to continue for a long time.
Reduce this to 20/4 or 18/6.
Every plant needs darkness to develop properly.

I just tested the pH of the soil and it was ~7.1-7.2. I followed your suggestion and flushed each plant with 4 liters of water pH'd to 6.0. Runoff now sitting at ~6.5-6.6 pH. Thanks again for your help!

I had a feeling. I will need to buy a new pH meter before my next feeding. I'll do a flush at a lower pH next watering and check the runoff. I haven't been watering enough to get an accurate runoff reading. I'll also turn my lights to a 20/4 schedule. Thanks for your input - it's really appreciated!

Brown spots followed by necrosis on Mandarin Sunset.Any idea what could be causing this necrosis on my leaves? Starts with the spots and grows to crisp up the leaf.
My soil should have plenty of calcium and magnesium. Happened once before on Gelato and never deciphered it.

Is this a calcium issue?I noticed some discoloration on several leaves but not widespread. I think it is calcium deficiency but to make sure. Whatever ails her, a more informed opinion would ease my mind. Also, if it is a calcium issue, would raising from 3 to 5ml/gal of calmagic resolve it? (DWC)

Brown spotting?Hey everyone!
My plant is in her 5th week and a few days ago (around day 30) I noticed some brown spotting on a few of the mid/lower leaves. Does anyone know what this could mean?
I gave her her first feeding 3 days ago. 1/4 strength veg nutes and 1/8 strength bloom nutes.

Leaves fading and dying, started from bottom but spreadingI’m starting to be at a loss with this. Calmag issues earlier in veg, seemed to improve for a while but now bottom leaves started to die - I thought this was just due to beginning of flower but it’s getting worse and spreading even to healthier new growth. PH (should be) fine.

What's the issue with this leaf?Can anyone help identify the issue on this leaf. Dreamcatcher is the strain and I can tell they were a reveg. It was root bound and I thought it was an issue with the roots. After transplant outside and sprayed with my IPM the plant has recovered but still has a few like this?
