Is the phosphorus deficency seen in my plants this...
CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 6 years ago
hi spartan, sorry to disagree with folks on here, but that looks like K lockout to me, you can see that from the "uneven" "colorful splotches" appearing. Probably there was just one feed too many, anyway you're close to the end now so the only thing you can do is start watering with plain water only for the flush 2 week plain water flush. The "autumn colors" that's called senescence , and it will come once the plants have recovered probably withing 10 days. it's slight different than this you'll see (still scary to see though, so get ready lol) . Hope this helps ! 🚀

At the end of their flowering cycle, the plant will do that no matter what feeding you give it, so yes it's normal

That's totally normal man. Your plant looks super healthy throughout. It just means its nearly ready to chop. I would probs start flushing....

I think what you are seeing is the flower going into its final autumnal colours before it dies off. This final few weeks usually sees some change in colour to the leaves as they start to run to the end of their life span. Think of a tree in autumn, when it starts to get colder and the days are getting shorter the leaves change as a reaction to this. Same thing with a cannabis plant, it sees this as the autumn period as the light period shortens for flowering.

Slight Leaf Discoloration. Early zinc deficiency?Girl showing slight discoloration on newer leaves. Mostly interveinal + little on the tips. Guessing it's an early zinc def. but would like another opinion. Watering sparingly at ph 6.3 - 6.5. No runoff yet, so ph may be higher in soil. Lower ph and watering til runoff next time?Week 2

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.Leaves.

Upper leaves are yellow and not smoothI noticed leaves on top are closing and today are yellowish. Older plant aren’t stretching more, I thought it’s too much light or too hot but it’s kinda weird because light are at 40cm from longer plant and 50 from smaller, temperature are max 26C. So, it’s normal?9 months ago

Is this an Iron deficiency? The tops and new growth look too yellow and the veins are yellowing with a darker green in betweenHaven't fed much with nutes, when I did it's been low doses. I'm trying not to burn one for once. Not sure if its a deficiency or other problem or if I'm just worrying too much, looks off to me though. My problem with overwatering might be contributing.Leaves.

Please help identify my Problem: Yellowing leaves with veins showing and some necrosis spots in third week of flowerThe odd thing is that only some leaves in the middle of the plant are affected. My thoughts were Nitrogen or Manganese deficiency or maybe light burn (why in the mid of the plant tho?)? I feed Biobizz Bloom, Grow and TopMax, no Problems until now.Leaves. Veins - yellow between

Does that look like an early deficiency?Hi everyone, what ya thinkin'
What kind of deficiency could that be?
My bet - potassium.
last portion of water was ~6.2 pH
I wasn't feeding her nutes for ten days by now.
Because previous runoff was ~2000 ppm. I thought would be a good idea to do just water for a while.Leaves. Veins - yellow between

Veins turning light green on lower leavesOne of my plants is getting light green veins on the lower leaves. Is this magnesium deficiency? I can't water currently without risking overwatering, can I just foliar spray BioBizz cal mag to temporarily help recovery? Or is this something else entirely?Week 7
