Black spots?

MarkWatneystarted grow question 5y ago

Is this a deficiency, nutrient burn, or disease, growing in MG soil, recovering from overwatering as well.

Definitely not deficient at this stage in the game, the soil could be a little hot for it but first id check the ph of soil and make sure youre checking ph of your water too, it should be around 6.2 for soil. It really looks like the soil may have compacted and the roots may not be getting much air. Roots need oxygen to live and to keep things like root rot to a minimum. Hope this helps some, good luck!

Check out my week 7 update for more info. Only one plant in the tent affected so it's really bugging me?!? Thought it was overwatering. Left them 2 days between feeds and they are bone dry and pots are light. Any suggestions or could it just be a trait of the Pheno?

Spots on leaves and little twisted...Spots started slowly showing when it had a different 600w light, too much heat back then, this started a little "save operation" changed light, made the plants look a bit healthier but now it looks like the spots have spread and also affected the leaves above... Are they healthy?
