Hey, these are signs of calmag deficiency, these brown spots are the main symptom. Add some calmag and you’ll be okay 😊

500 or 700 ppm ? 500 is a bit low, 700-750 ppm (NaCl 0.5 scale) should be fine

Light burn, light burn due to humidifier water lights?
What do you think caused this brown color on that leaf? I have 5 leaves like that, all the others are ok. I believe it's due to pulverizing water and droplets acting as magnifiers for the light, causing small burns. Also, since they are burnt, should I just cut them out?

Nutrient deficiency? If yes, what's the best course of action to salvage the situation?
First time grower of 3 autos, at week 8, lower leaves started turning yellow, top leaves started to get smaller/develop brown spots 2 weeks ago. Is this a nutrient deficiency problem? Soil should have been fertilized for 3 months, but I'm thinking they burned through it.

When should I put the pellet in the 5 gal pot??
I am currently growing a tangie'matic with "a pot for pot" grow kit. At first the seed germinates in a pellet. Then it says "put pellet in 5 gal soil mix after 10 days or when the third set of leaves matches the second." I did it after 10 days and this happened.

Dark green leaves in meringue
Is my girl telling me that the flowering fertilizer is too nitrogen loaded? I´m using top bloom from top crop, feeding at 1.4-1.6 Ec, and since last week I started to follow the feed-water-water schedule. The NPK of this fertilizer is 4-8-8. Should I adjust the input EC?

What kind of deficiency is this or is it light burn? Can provide more pictures since they are in a sleep period now. It’s this plant, strawberry banana one and the purple queen.

Leaf issues with 3 Pineapple Express Autos - is it burn or deficiency?
All 3 plants are having issues to the lower leaves. They are dried and brown blotches, brown edges of the leaves, leaves drooping off and curling down and brown. They switched to Canna Terra Flora two weeks ago - is this a over feed or deficiency?

The leaves on the upper plant wake up today with a brownish spot. It’s not light burning for sure (ts 1000 dimmer 70% height 50-60cm). Feeding problems? The first two photos are dark brown, the last one is yellowish.

Cotyledon issue from seedling
Have seedlings from Auto Colorado Cookies (Dutch Passion). One already has cotyledons, but not opened yet. I see some yellow and bigger brown spot of the tip. In the beginning I had 250 PPFD, could this be the issue? Now I am around 100 PPFD and put the light a bit up. See photo.

Is this turning purple from temp change
So it looks like what I thought was a brown spot (under the grow light), appears to be purple when I pulled it out to get a better look and stake it down. I did switch the light to something cooler, could this be from temp dropping. Not worried yet, just curious. Thanks
