Kenderbetyar
started grow question 5y ago
I've noticed a few brown spots on the main cola's leaves. The rest of the leaves are looking normal. What could cause that?

Sorry it may be Calcium and or Magnesium. Supplement with CalMag 1 ml per litre of water add before base Nutrients

Calcium deficiency use calcium magnesium. Could be boron but that usually has twisted leaves and starts at the tips and is rare

Saw this first day of 12/12
Pretty sure this is just where I got nutrient solution on my plant yesterday when watering unless it's something else? I pulled these leaves off 1 plant when lights came on this morning. Every Plant looks 💯 great besides these 3 leaves, all from 1 plant rest of plant is great.

Brown Patches on Older Leaves
Slight yellowing and brown mottled patches. Only on one of the two plants and they’ve been treated and fed exactly the same. On some older fan leaves, no signs of anything on new growth. Anything to worry about at this stage? Maybe just a sensitive pheno? Any advice appreciated.

Upward Curling Brown Leaves/Nutrient Lock Out?
I've got a serious issue. Started 3-4 days ago, right after adding nutrients and increasing light. Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon. Both new and old growth is being effected. Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much.

Brownish Spots on 2 Older Leafs. Young plant.
I searched it up before posting this and what I found is: Leaf spot, canker, and fungus: Brown leaf spot, Yellow leaf spot, Cladosporium stem canker and Chaetomium fungus. Solutions I found in the comments below. What do you guys think? Can it be heat (a lot of hot days here)?

Nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn?
Unfortunately I don't have a ph meter, so my best guess is one or more of these problems: nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn. The first 3 photos are from an Auto Northern Light and the last 2 are from an Auto Jack Herer.

Brown spots and yellowing
What do you think this is? Nutrients deficiency or maybe soil ph. Happened overnight and the plants are a little dry but I just gave them water and nutrients. My ph tester has been broken so I’ve sorta been winging it with some ph strips.

Some brown spots showing on the top sugar leaves. I suspect it is due to the cooling fan of the light blowing down hot air? I've adjusted the fans to blow air directly over the top of the main cola's and I increased the light distance.
