Grow QuestionsLeaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripple

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripple

bSandersWitASteelChairstarted grow question 4 years ago

Please help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect. A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet. What might this be? Multiple issues?

Hi mate that looks like she needs some cal mag. Be careful when adding cal mag as it contains nitrogen so I'd lower your usual N dosage a little. Hope this helps 🙂

Could be a phosphorus problem starting. I'm not familiar with your nute line up but you may need to start adding a bloom nutes.

Cutting damaged leaves away or not?Hallo, I have some spots on leaves due to calcium deficencie and it has stoped spreading above leaves by adding calmag to the nutrient solution. We talk about 2 single leaves per plant (max 3 leaves). Should I cut them of because they need energy to recover or does it not care?

She’s growing in a 70/30 split of coco and soil and has only been fed water so far! Is it nute time?

ScrOG training during flower With ScrOG, during flower, how careful do I need to be about the pre-flowering hairs and early bud sites when I’m tucking branches? I’m trying to gauge how aggressively to keep scrogging vs just letting them go.

Nute Deficiency or New Leaves?!Thoughts if this yellowing may be nute deficiency? Or are these just new leaves and I am concerned about nothing and I’m babying them since it’s my 1st grow? Both plants are about to be 2 weeks post sprout. Both are in 5 gallon fabric pots with layered soil (FFHF on top of FFOF)

Nute burn or pH Flux Ive noticed the tips are the faintest of yellow. Maybe ive mistaken Nute Burn for pH Fluctuations? Diagnosing: pHing both tank and run off showed different ranges. My CYCO Coco pre-mix was ph buffered. The De-Gnat agent that goes over the coco for mite protection maybe causing.
