Redish Brown spots, and slight discoloration.
Magnesium deficiency? Calcium? Other?
Gave them a splash of Calmag, but was it even necessary?
OR, should I have just swapped nutes and wait, then correct if not improved? (It was nute day, that's why I ask!)

This is definitely going to be calcium-related, but the thing is most of the time with this it's a lockout and the plant isn't getting it all. Yes giving the plant Cal-Mag when you regularly feed is necessary cannabis plants tend to be very calcium hungry. I noticed your ph level was 5.8, In hydro, calcium is best absorbed by the roots in the 6.2 – 6.5 pH range in hydro, it’s generally recommended to keep the pH between 5.5 – 6.5, but calcium specifically tends to be best absorbed above 6.2, so this could be the cause for the lockout.

Yeah you need to add some calmag. See how it goes and add less or more the next time. Cheers 😊

Is this bud rot?I found strange purple/dark brow discoloration on one of buds and surrounding leaves. It could be caused by bad supercropp of the cola, or I am thinking bud rot. What do you think, should I harvest immediately, or am I stressing too much? RH is 50-60%, but the box is cramped.4y ago

What do you think is causing the spotting, leaf curling, and stunted growth in plant #1? My money is on light burn and/or PH issue. I have a PH control kit I've been using to treat the water, but do you think just treating the water is enough? Using FoxFarm HF soil, no nutes yetWeek 2

I am seeing an issue with the lower fan leaves and it seems to be progressing upwards. The leaves are yellowing and also seem to be turning brownish. I added CalMag into my last feeding but beyond that not sure what I should consider, info/advice is appreciated. See last pic wk5.Week 5

Calcium deficiency, cal-mag now in hand, water now, or wait for normal scheduled water? Last water yesterday.Plants are suffering from an early stage of calcium deficiency, received a bottle of cal-mag today. Watered last night cause I didn't want to wait any longer. Should I wait for my next water (2 more days) or give a single dose of Cal-mag now, to get some calcium to the plant?Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

I think my plants are suffering a Phosphorus deficiency due to lockout due to low ph of soil. My first flush only helped for a while. As soon as the medium gets too dry damage resumes. I went to check on them yesterday and the amount of damage they took in 24 hours was pretty bad5y ago
