Zinc Deficiency
AccyStoner25started grow question 4 years ago
I've identified a Zinc deficiency. I think it is being caused by RO water to foliar feed without using pH down to lower the pH. Im going to stop until i get pH down.
New growth stopped completely and are currently crinkled/stunted. Will they all recover if i get this right?

The damaged leaves may not recover completely, but you know you’re in the clear when you stop seeing symptoms on new leaves. You're doing the right thing by not doing any feeding until the ph is corrected because this is more than likely the cause for the deficiency, try to keep the ph between 6.0-6.5, but it could also be the RO water, zinc deficiencies are more likely to appear when a grower is using heavily filtered or reverse osmosis (RO) water to feed plants since any zinc has been removed, but pH is a much more common reason growers see zinc deficiencies in their cannabis plants.

Also, any advice on additional steps to take to fix this? Photo on question shows the crinkled new growth. Plant hasn't grown in 5 days!

yellow leaf tips"I've noticed yellow leaf tips on one of my plants. My watering pH was 6.5, and EC was 1.6. Today,
I flushed it with osmosis water (pH 6.5), and the drainage water had a pH of 6.2 and EC of 1.0.
Is the problem resolved now, or do you have any other suggestions?

Autos reacting to All-Mix: Slight nitrogen overload?Pheno one showed very "leathery", weak, hanging leaves of dark green. Same time the fungus gnats had a run and the population doubled. After second LST also the stronger plant showed those signs on the younger upper leaves. Also curled down a little. Slight nitrogen toxicity?

Brown Tips on some leaves - too much nutrients?Today I recognized brown tips on a few of the leaves (see pictures). Is it something to worry about? I am having trouble identifying the problem and how to counter it. My best guess is I used a little bit too much fertilizer for this automatic? But I am unsure...

Always produce drain while using organic fertilizer?I think I made a big mistake in this very first grow, so here is the question: Should I always water enough to produce some drain? Even when using organic fertilizer?
Until now I did not have a single drain in the whole grow as I water ~10-15% of the pot volume.

Brown tips on older leafsWhat indicates the brown tip of a single lower leaf. Growth is also relatively slow. I see this on my 25 days old Hulkberry Auto. The plant sits in a greenhouse on my balcony. Night temperatures go down to 8-12°C. No fertilizer used.

Nutrient lockout or deficiencyDie unter Planze im Bild ist seit ein paar Tagen hell obwohl ich letztes mal schon mehr gedüngt hab. Habe mit EC 1.5 / Ph 6.2 gegossen. Im runoff kam Ec von 3.5 raus, es war aber nur sehr wenig runoff deswegen find ich 3.5 eigentlich in ordnung. Blatt spitzen sind aber auffällig.

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

What deficiency is this ?What is happening to my plant right now ?
I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks.
Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil.
