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.

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

New grower with questions about burnt tips, browning/scrunching leaves and some pale/yellow spots!I noticed Quick One had issues with burnt tips and discoloration by the end of week 1 and 2, what could've been the issue? Apple Fritter is looking sick, brown spots, what is that? Easy Bud and Quick on have slight yellow/paled spots on their leaves, only 1-2, is that normal?

I wanted to ask if you think this plant has mold or if it's just a major deficiency due to a blockage. I have an indoor plant next door with some plants growing with dark spots, it's in my previous question. Sorry for giving more information, I don't know what would help.

Braune Flecken an den Blättern Hallo zusammen, Ich habe seit ein paar Tagen diese braunen Flecken auf den alten Blättern meiner Pflänzchen. Die Wochen zuvor habe ich gedüngt, allerdings nur mit 1 ml BioGrow, 1 ml BioBloom & 2 ml CalMag von BioBizz — denke eher es ist ein Mangel. Vielen Dank für eure tips!

Leaves keep turning brown and yellow It all begann with what I thought was light burn. I then considered it CalMag deficiency. Giving it CalMag did not stop it. My current guess is too low pH due to strip inaccuracies, so I gave it around 8 today instead. What do you recon, why could it keep getting worse?

Nutrition deficiency or nute solution on leaves during watering?Hi Growmies,during my monitoring routine I found some brown spots on the leaves. Not many but on some leaves the brown spots have become transparent and I can see through the leaves. Any ideas what could have caused the brown spots? Perhaps not enough CalMag? Rest looks healthy.

Weed doctors to the rescue Day 44, fb auto, my happy girl developed those dark spots at the top... Is this a Calmag deficiency? Although I'm giving her calmag every feeding. I think there are also first burnt tips. I'm about to water her tonight, what should or should not give her? Thanks for your inputs🙏
