Is this a problem?

GIPeNstarted grow question 4 years ago

I have some old leaves with a reddish tint around the leaves, couldn't find any nutrient deficiency/excess that matches, maybe phosphorus?

To me it looks like abit of nutrient burn . I've had this same issue. They then turn crispy . I'd back of abit and only use water for the next 2 or 3 days . You should see the new growth not effected. The lowers will probably stay like that. Might eventually die off. Should be ok.

Leaves are too dark to be a deficiency, if anything id say there is too much phosphorus, but check the ph as well, shouldnt have that many 3 fingered leaves, that usually indicates an issue when that happens.

Been wilting every 2-3 days and then recovers after watering. Brown spots appeared in the last 24 hours. Pictures of leaves off and on the plant in latest week's pictures. Water ph'd very high (7.5+) and I have lowered to 6.5 for this watering with 1/4 strength nutes and vinegar.

I believe I have a phosphorus deficiency from lack of watering/early pH issues. I also have curly/dented leaves that can be seen in the close ups. Does this seem like a phosphorus deficiency or what else may it be?

So in the last 3 pics from Day 22...am I seeing a calcium deficiency? She gets tap water, which I was hoping has sufficient calcium. But now I'm thinking I might need some Cal/Mag. Is she hungry for calcium?

Please check the last pictures I have posted. This is about a week after transplant, and the plant also has burnt tips. Are the brown spots from something other than transplanting into hot soil? They are in KIS water only soil and I have only been giving well water, ph is 6.8ish

Is 8 oz of water about right for 3 weeks old plants? Also thinking about LST, is it a good time to start that now? Also is buying nutrients worth it when it comes to harvest? Or is it more dependents on the power of the light ? Thank you for any advice 💯🙏🏼

Brown spots and yellowing pictured above. My best guess is a Cal/Mag deficiency. Was feeding Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus at 1 ml/l up until ~2 weeks ago (friend has been watering while I was out of town). Before I feed her, any advice on what the problem is and how to correct it?
