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 ! 🚀

What issue am I looking at here?
Any ideas what issue I'm looking at here? On roughly 4-6 leaves currently, not on new leaves. Running calmag so wouldnt have thought its calcium def. but I am using rainwater instead of tap water this time. Plant is looking great other than these spots...

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!

Bruising or nute problem?
I do not have enough characters here, please check diary for details. Some tops are showing some problems. The thing is, only a few and it does not seem related to light distance. My first thoughts is this is bruising, but I would like some more expert opinions.

Manchas café claro en la planta.
Veo pequeñas manchas color café en mi Euphoria mayor, parece como si fueran de sequedad pero la planta recibe buena hidratación y nutrición ¿Será algún bicho específico lo que hizo eso?

Getting weird brown growth at the base of the leaves on new growth... anyone know what this is and how to treat? I may add I have no signs of any pests , bugs or anything. This is a full organic grow therefore I did hit it with essential oils as a pest prevent a week ago.

Can anyone help me identify the cause of the rust-colored spots on a couple of these lower leaves? I am guessing some kind of nutrient burn.

Droopy leaves, curling at tips, and now brown/yellow splotches on leaves in DWC. Not sure what the issue is
Unfortunately, I can only write so much here, but I have a lot more details in my grow diary. The droopiness started about 3-4 days ago, but now has started showing deficiencies in the leaves, and plants seem stunted on height. Day 19 since sprout.

Dark dots in leaves. Lamp burns?
I saw this dark dots in leaves but only she has it. She was exactly under spider-farmer sf1000 at 30 cm. Now I moved to other softer light at 40 cm. What do you think? Lamp burns? They're dry and curl up. Some images are edited for better appreciation but you have also originals.

Why do my plants only have that light greenish yellowish look at the top and why is one of my plants also having those sick leaves at the bottom?
2 of my 3 plants are a bit yellow-ish at the top since about a week. Plant 1 also had a couple of sick leaves at the bottom that I did remove. Those leaves had brown/dark spots, felt dry like paper, had very purple stems and did smell more like hay. More info in my report.

Hello, I just noticed that some of my leaves are starting to have slight discoloration and some holes. See images in week 6. I don't see evidence of bugs or mildew and my fan may have been too close for the leaf with holes. I feed once a week and have switched to a high K feed.

Deficiency or excess?
Looks to me like potassium deficiency leading to calcium and magnesium deficiency also... Any other suggestions?

Tips of top leaves slightly brown, no curling. We had some hot days where humidity was kept low, but heat from dehumidifier plus outside temps got up to 91f. Some leaves at top have strange marks a bit concerned. Living soil, Marphyll, bat guano, molasses only.

Brown/rust spots have been increasing on one of my 3 plants. Appearing on upper and lower, newer and older leaves. Does not appear to be a light/heat issue. Treating it as possible Cal def by increasing cal-mag nutes.

Deficiency or Pigment?
I have strange brown spots appearing all over my top fan leaves at week 7 of Flower. I thought this could be genetic coloring starting to fill in, but now I think it's something more. https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/31218/4085521_grow-journal-by-livewire99.jpg

Calmag deficiency
The leaves on my plants seem to have some markings appearing, I havent yet given any calmag. The plants are in their 4th week from planting seed. Also seem to have some nute burn going on. I do have some biobizz calmag, should I use this and if so at one strength?

Brown spots on Day 5
I have noticed some little brown spots on the leaves of my PPV. Can anyone help me out with what they might be. I am day 5. I probably saw them slightly on day 3. PPV is pretty hardy so should I just chill and wait and see?
