TheGourmetWeedstarted grow question 4 years 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.

Yellow Leaves AutoflowerNovice grower, Outdoor. Started in a 70/30 coco-coir to perlite mix. Forgot Worm Castings until 22nd June, implemented with top dressing of Gaia Green Power Bloom and All Purpose. Overwatered at stem for a week or so. I suspect it's either an N, P ,or K deficiency (nuteburn?)Leaves. Color - Yellow

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms.
I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day.
So please have a look and see if you know what might be happeningLeaves. Edges burnt

Please tell me it’s septoria and not alternaria. Thanks to anyone that will respondLeaves. Color - Mottling
