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 is going on with these leaves?
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 spots followed by necrosis on Mandarin Sunset.
Any idea what could be causing this necrosis on my leaves? Starts with the spots and grows to crisp up the leaf. My soil should have plenty of calcium and magnesium. Happened once before on Gelato and never deciphered it.

Damage, Deficiency or Maturity
Turned her around, on leaves at wall, lower, one of first stems. From bottom up. Didn't clean drip pan when should, used molasses, was fermenting. 8/9 weeks in flower. Scoped, the leaves are browning. Nothing on the leaf, like mold. Damage, deficiency or maturity?

Leaf edges a bit yellow and now some yellow mottling. Signs of the same problem?
Leaf discoloration now on a few leaves.... Could this be continuing signs of an imbalance caused by switching nutrients for the first week of 12/12? Please see my previous question about yellow leaf edges and Sciolistic_Steve's answer. I'll be switching nutes tomorrow anyway...

What's going on with my clones? Do not have much information to add. VPD is not terribly off, DLI around 25.
What's going on with these clones? Not sure what it could be. They could possibly be rootbound. They should have been transplanted a few weeks ago but I did not have the space.

I found a few holes that looked like a Caterpillar was eating my plant but I haven't found any pests. Perhaps a fungus??? Anyone know what this is due to? I sprayed bubba with neem oil just in case...haven't found anything since.

Hi growdiaries, Got a couple of issues on my plants here. The last 4 pictures show the problems, firstly there are holes appearing in the leaves and it looks like something is eating them. Haven't seen anything alive. Also a few spots appearing. Mould? Had bad air for a bit.

Today my plants got something weird on their leaves. Some stains appeared on older leaves, and the new ones have a strange color, it looks like they are painted. More or less the same on another plant, some edges on new leaves look burned and weird color and shape on new leaves

Plant #1 is showing some leaf discolouration. Not sure if it is nutrient burn/lockout or deficiency. I flushed her with R.O water just in case. Any ideas or suggestions? She's an odd one anyway, seems to be a different phenotype than her sisters.

What are these orange spots on my leaves?
Last night I applied Dr. Zymes for the 1st time and this afternoon I noticed these orange spots. This plant had a shell issue when it sprouted which caused the weird curling of the leaves.
