Yellowish spots ? Magnesium Deficiency ?

tiasmaaastarted grow question 4 years 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 🙂

What can I do? Leafs starting to turn yellow. First grower Yesterday, I noticed some leafs starting to turn yellow and also the tips of the top leafs to be a bit brown. So I watered (nutrition in the desc) and calmag 2 ml, because I thought it might be either lack of PK or cal mg. What else can I do? What about my watering schedule?

Living soil and rain water problem Has using rain water killed my living soil? Has anyone got experience of using living soil with rain water? Apparently the ppm is too low (just like RO water) for the plant to take in nutrients. So basically is my living soil now just soil or is the microbial life still there?

Can I use magnesium sulfate foliarly?Hello, this plant is at the beginning of flowering and apparently has a magnesium deficiency, right? Can I use 100% Mag Sulfate from the pharmacy via foliar treatment? I'm using Calmag 2ml/L but it's not having any effect. I should add Dolomite Limestone to the soil this week.
