Hi Bro, this is water-drop burning (in the 1st pic is clearly recognizable the "splash" pattern burn). The good new is that the green leaves tips suggest a good general health. Unfortunately the light burn damage will slowly cause the leaf to fall off but this will have almost no impact for the grow, consider it as natural defo. Cheers

Probably from moisture. When the plant rests and the leaves relax they could be touching each other or the ground. Then when lights come on it acts like a magnifying glass.

Calmag excess or defiency??So.. I have 4 flowering plants. I feed them the same stuff. Same quantity. 2 out of 4 showed some signs on the older eaves and i was wondering if its an excess or a defiency. Yellow with brown spots. Not a wind damage for sure.

Would Epsom salt be helpful for these brown spots? If so, how many ppm? Is it OK to reduce pH with citric acid and distilled water in nute mix?

Could someone help me to identify the issue my plant has?This girl isn't looking healthy anymore and I need to figure out why. What I did: I topped her pretty early but she recovered well (you can see it in my grow diary). A week later I transplanted her from 0.5L pot to her final autopot 14L. After that she had a hard time recovering.

I pulled these leaves off 1 plant when lights came on this morning. Every Plant looks 💯 great besides these 3 leaves, all from 1 plant rest of plant is great.

Nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn?Unfortunately I don't have a ph meter, so my best guess is one or more of these problems: nutrient lockout, ph imbalance or nutrient burn. The first 3 photos are from an Auto Northern Light and the last 2 are from an Auto Jack Herer.

Brown rust spots on oldest leaves Brown rust spots on oldest biggest leaves with curling inward - the rest of the flower is fine, just some occasional small yellow spots. No sign of pests. Maintaining pH ~6.5 but have soft water. Suspect cal/mag deficiency or nitrogen toxicity. Thoughts?
