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!

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light Soil On my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?

Anybody know why I’m seeing brown spots and burnt tips? I think it might just be time for a res change. Haven’t done it since I flipped and she’s been drinking about 1.5 gallons a day for the last 2 weeks.

Nutrient deficiency? If yes, what's the best course of action to salvage the situation?First time grower of 3 autos, at week 8, lower leaves started turning yellow, top leaves started to get smaller/develop brown spots 2 weeks ago. Is this a nutrient deficiency problem? Soil should have been fertilized for 3 months, but I'm thinking they burned through it.

Thankfully not my plant but what do you think this deficiency is? My first thought was actually that one plant fungus r something that causes brown circle like spots. This is the top of the plant. No curling to leaves.

Deficiencies while in late flowering during flushing period There is deficiency going on (looks like cal) she is an auto flowering strain in her 9th week and been flushed for a week now. Should I give her cal/mag and stop the flushing or is it too late to deal with that? She looks like she will be ready to chop in a week or so.

Light burn, light burn due to humidifier water lights?What do you think caused this brown color on that leaf? I have 5 leaves like that, all the others are ok. I believe it's due to pulverizing water and droplets acting as magnifiers for the light, causing small burns. Also, since they are burnt, should I just cut them out?

Brown spots, serrated edges curling up - calcium deficiency?This is a Barney's Critical Kush auto that's at about day 57. She's into flowering, but I've just started to notice some brown spots on leaves with some slight tip browning, and the serrated edges on the leaf are curling up. Is this just a straight calcium deficiency?
