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 🙂
bSandersWitASteelChairanswered grow question 4 years ago
Multiple deficiencies suggested; based on separate research as well I ordered cal mag. Thank you all!

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.

LST possible?Is it possible or even beneficial to do some lst on them?
The internode space is very tight and the stems are not flexible, plus they started preflower.
They are 4 week old autoflowers and I feel like the lower leaves don't get enough light.Techniques. LST

Ph value is decreasing despite BioBizzUpI don´t get it I´m trying to increase the Ph value but it is permanently falling again to a value of 4,2.
Any idea what could be the reason why my Ph adjustments (BioUp) are not taking effect in the soil.

LST during flower?LST during flower?
I'm pretty happy with the size and shape of them, except PPP3! However I'm not sure if I should continue to keep them as short as possible, or let them just grow up now.
I've never used LST before, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Week 9

Manchas en hojaHola!
Aparecieron estas manchas en una hoja de una GG#4 de zamnesia en su quienta semana vegetativa.
No es algo que me preocupe, ya que la planta tiene una apariencia sana y crece vigorosa. Pero nunca vi este tipo de manchas y me gustaría saber su posibles motivos.

Hydroponics, i need a second or third pro opinion. Just a Deficiency? bad pH? (I alreadt did a partial water reservoir change tho)Yoyoyo! If someone of knowledge could help me here, I would be grateful
So I think it's a Magnesium deficiency, caused either from my too low pH (5.2) or too much CalMag (only used 1,5ml on 10L)
I gave a more in-detail description on my diary. lower leafs are "crispy", not smoothLeaves. Color - Mottling
