hi there Habosabin, that's micronutrient deficiency, you're adding silica which is basically optional but you're forgetting calmag which is absolutely necessary in soiless grows. Just add calmag asap . Hope this helps ! 🚀

Is this an expected fade and if not, how do I fix these leaf issues?
I'm growing a NightOwl auto in DWC and it's on D58 (suggested flowering time is 75-85 days). The plant is looking like it's fading (getting cal-mag and different types of deficiencies), but I think it's a bit early for that based on looks. pH is 6.06, 840 ppm, 68F water temp.

Does the paleness concern you?
Plant #1 seems a bit more on the pale green/yellowing side of the spectrum. Especially compared to plant #2. I have been feeding this week on a gradually increasing schedule. Not enough characters to go into it here.

Brigh little spots on bigger leaves
Hey guys, i noticed today that very small brighter spots have appeared on the bigger leaves. Is this something i should be worried about? Is it because of the 20hrs light schedule? Should i switch to 18hrs? Thanks 😨

Brown specks on leaves
I've noticed small brown specks appearing on the lower leaves. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I'm struggling to keep heat down and humidity up due to the weather. Could this be the issue or something else?

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?
Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms. I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day. So please have a look and see if you know what might be happening

many problems with the leaves
the leaves have been turning yellow and falling faster and faster, especially those below; the upper ones curl and become burnt with dots and turn yellow should I try to put the lamp higher? (I haven't given fertilizers for a week)

Calmag or Potassium deficiency
Starting to show hard yellowing on plant #2 looks like it can be calmag Deficiency or Potassium Deficiency. I gave them a bit extra calmag a few days ago and it seams like things are not improving too much.

Cal/mag def. Or nute burn?
I think I've got a Cal/Mag deficiency going on....or burn....not sure. Rust colored spots developing on leaves between veins. My pics labeled today, 11/9, show the progress. I don't think I'm overfeeding and growth is still progressing. Can anyone confirm?
