Yellowish spots ? Magnesium Deficiency ?

tiasmaaastarted grow question 5y ago

I noticed that on some leaves (not the new ones) there were 2-3 yellowish spots. And on a large leave, a point that turns brown. I thought about a small deficiency in Magnesium?

It could be from early on. If its not got worse and hasn't effected other growth you may have already sorted it out. But over next few days if it gets worse you could have a slight calcium deficiency.

Hi mate, I think it looks like a calcium deficiency. Magnesium typically doesn't cause spots like that. Its more of a yellowing fade around the edges of the leaf. Hope this helps 🙂

YELLOWING LEAVES HELP! I am super, Not Happy, about (what I’m assuming is), Light Bleaching. Everything I’ve read points to Light-Bleaching. In every post I’ve seen, “Nute. Burn” has fairly distinct “burning” & crispy edges around the leaves.
