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.

Calcium, lock out?
Hello, it looks like calcium, P, or K issues. Maybe pH lock out. I flushed last week and followed with nutes. Likely last nutes this week followed by a week or two of flushing before harvest. Please look at leaves and let me know what I should do as I end off this plant.

Deficiency or Pigment?
I have strange brown spots appearing all over my top fan leaves at week 7 of Flower. I thought this could be genetic coloring starting to fill in, but now I think it's something more. https://media.growdiaries.com/static/post/photo/31218/4085521_grow-journal-by-livewire99.jpg

Rusty Spots
I've got some rusty splotches on leaves, I am thinking possibly a Cal-Mag deficiency. Any help appreciated. Will be addressing the issue tomorrow. Not from watering as I water direct on soil.

What's wrong?!
Can anyone tell me what's going on with this? Leaves are getting white markings and are fairly limp to the touch (although they are not drooping). I've checked underneath and there are no signs of any bugs... nothing flying through the air... All other plants are ok!

Nute or heat issue??? Help plz
Is this a nute issue or pH or heat? The plant is just under 60 days. The makes on the leaves have moved to all the major fan leaves. pH usually between 6.0 and 6.8 only starting feeding nutes a few weeks ago. This plant is in the middle of my sp3000 at a distance of 18" or 45cm

Damaged leafs
Hi guys! I have a flowering Northern Light with several damaged leafs, as you can see on the pictures. Are they deficiencies of some sort? If so, what do you think can be the root cause? I use only filtered water and the RQS easy boost mixed with the soil since the beginning. TY

Brown Spots on Leaves
I’m noticing some light brown spots on my leaves. After researching it seems that it was either 1) Manganese deficiency 2) calcium deficiency or 3) overwatering. I don’t think I’m overwatering. It could be the nutrients but would like input!

I'm starting to see my upper leaves turning a bit yellow in spots. I think I may be over watering. I've added 1 gallon water to 3 gallon pot leaves looked to droop a bit.

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!

Help with weird deficiency
BCN is starting to show some form of deficiency. Given that it's in its 9th week, we are debating whether we should finish with a flush and harvest or try to fix this. Can someone please give their advice and opinion. Have attached a picture of the trichomes, not perfect though.
