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?

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

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.

Possibly Potassium Deficient? Based on ALL the pics I could find, but not sure.
I noticed these brown splotches and leaf edges on one area bud and pistils of my Orange Sherbet last night. Based on what I can find online, this might be potassium deficiency? This is mostly on one spot near darkest edge when tent closed. Thanks!

Brown Spots on Leaves
I've got some brown spots showing up on the Wedding Cake leaves, first thought it may be mold but it doesn't rub off and I sprayed both plants with neem oil about a week ago just in case. Could be CalMag deficient? I use RO water with about 150-200ppms in 3 liters once a day.

Brown rust spots on oldest leaves
Brown rust spots on oldest biggest leaves with curling inward - the rest of the flower is fine, just some occasional small yellow spots. No sign of pests. Maintaining pH ~6.5 but have soft water. Suspect cal/mag deficiency or nitrogen toxicity. Thoughts?

More rusty spots
See 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.
