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.

What could be causing these spots and burnt tips?
I noticed this starting this morning, the pH was 6.3 and 210 ppm. The water was about 7-10 days old. So I figure water change time?

Light spots on upper leaves
So I noticed some light spotting/discolouration on the upper leaves of Samus. I've never seen anything like it before but is it normal or something to freak out about? Are the leaves mottling?

What's wrong?!?
Help! I thought I had this. Is this calcium deficiency? I've been using treated water (1tsp CalMag+ 1tsp Grow Big per gallon). It's just getting worse. See photos and descr. from past few days.

Plant issues... How long to harvest?
Could someone please look at my (only) diary and give me an estimate on when harvest might be? I have microscope pictures up . I think I see cloudy trichomes with the possibility of a few amber. Maybe ready now? Not sure but hope to harvest before plant gets much worse. Thanks!

Brown spots on lower leaves
Long and short of it is that I'm wondering what's going on with these brown spots on Tiamat. The solution pH has been dropping rapidly, even though the PPM has only very slightly raised (250 - 275 over the past 3 days, whereas pH has shot down from 6.2 to 5.8).

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?

On my NLxBB there appears to be rust spots developing on both sets of the first true leaves, i've only fed nutrients once on Day 10 and that was at quarter strength. Not sure if this is a sign of overwatering or if I need to start feeding with Cal-Mag more regularly.

Spotted crisp leaves
What's up with these leaves? They've all been spotting up, crisp edges and tips curl. I keep flushing them and it helps. I feed them 1 tsp calmag to each gallon and often the mixture gets diluted as much as half. PH water was 6.2 but soil 4.5. 15" from 70% light.

Calcium issues?
Is this the start of a calcium deficiency? Aside from these couple of spots the plant looks healthy, but I really don't want this to progress. I can't measure my PH for a couple of days, sadly, until I get the equip through the post to do so.

White/Yellow snipes on leaves? (13th day of growth from seed)
I noticed a huge change in my plant leaves in less than 24 hours. The leaves look like they are getting burned out. What is happening? I'm uploading pictures to see the problem and also the growth conditions. I'm watering once every 1 or 2 days (PH = 6.0). Not using nutrients yet

What went on here??
This is an Orange Sherbet I grew in Happy Frog with the FloraGrow series. I harvested early because I thought the plant was dying, and couldnt seem to stop it by flushing. Does this look normal for a plant being flushed out? Should I have waited?
