Calcium deficiency?
TheGourmetWeed
started grow question 5y ago
I've been using calmag on the grow, so it shouldn't be that. Any ideas?

As always, check your pH levels before trying to fix any nute issues 👌

What stage are your plants in? If in mid to late flower, I would say you're using too many bloom nutes and locking out calcium that way. Seems to be a common problem.

5th Week Flowering Plant dying!
What is going on here? Started off as a Calcium deficiency so I upped the Cal/Mag, but the problem only seems to be getting worse. It only has 2-3 weeks left so I don't want to do anything too drastic. Any advice is appreciated!

Nutes too early?
The leaves of my northern lights look a little brittle and discoloured, maybe the small amount of nutes I gave were too early?

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.

The yellow spots that were seen last week have multiplied and started to appear on newer leaves. I should mention my tap water E.C is 0.8 so quite high. I still however added calmag this at it seems to look like a calcium deficiency. Are they to young for one though? Thank you

Small brownish spots forming on lower leaves. Need help with diagnoses!
Hi all. Just migrated plants to new tent/fan. I have much better environmental conditions. Now I have these leaf spots. I've included recent measurements. I was going light on the CaliMagic using 1/2 tsp per gallon. Is that my issue? Roots look good. Thanks everyone!

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

Weird yellow / brown dots on leaf
Hi fellow growers! I have some weird yellow/brown dots starting to appear on one of the leaves. Some leaves are also starting to claw up. What am I doing wrong? Nute burn? I already started to dial back the nutes. Any help is greatly appreciated for me and my sick lady

Recurring Cal Mag issues
I’m already at the maximum recommended cal mag dose of 1ml/litre (with nutes at 1000ppm or E.C. 2.0) and I’m still facing issues. It went away for a few days, but it’s now back. Should increase the cal mag dose and cut back on the macro nutes to maintain 1000ppm?

Orange/rust spots on leaves
Throughout the life of this grow I've seen rust and orange spots on some of the fan leaves. I can't seem to figure out or pinpoint the source of this. I think the plants are in good health overall, I do have a lot of fungual gnats that I'm trying to mitigate

Discolouration of some leaves
Is the colouration of these leaves someone to worry about? She’s a young, 2 week old Wedding Cheesecake auto and I’m new to growing and just want to make sure she’s ok! She’s growing in a 70/30 split of coco and soil and has only been fed water so far! Is it nute time?

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.

Hydroponics, i need a second or third pro opinion. Just a Deficiency? bad pH? (I alreadt did a partial water reservoir change tho)
Yoyoyo! If someone of knowledge could help me here, I would be grateful So I think it's a Magnesium deficiency, caused either from my too low pH (5.2) or too much CalMag (only used 1,5ml on 10L) I gave a more in-detail description on my diary. lower leafs are "crispy", not smooth

Noticed small brown spots kind of center of leaves, noticing some kind of chewed up deformed leaves now. From what I've read it sounds like leaf hoppers? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I have some yellow spots as can be seen in Week 3 Day 20 pic. I am not really sure what it is or how to get rid of it. It appears to be on lower few nodes but not upper one so far. It is not affecting other plants in tent at this time.
