Gorilla Bomb, outdoor grow, directly in soil, Miracle Gro 20-20-20 once per week. In the past few days, leaves have developed brown to black spots that start at edges and spread inward. I have 1 Green Crack under identical conditions and another GB and GC in outdoor pots

You got some yellowing and leaf crawling too. Cut back on that gro, go light on it. Just water them for a week, there in soil so you’ll be fine. I would also start ph balancing your water, go easy on that gro. Good luck.

I've got 3 other plants under the same conditions that are the picture of health, wouldn't they also show similar leaf damage if it's a nutrient imbalance?

That's a pH balance problem 100%. The soil it's in needs to be adjusted. Start ph balancing your water to 6.2 for every feeding or watering.

Nutrition inbalance. Vegging requires a ratio of 3-1-2 npk. Flowering is 1-2-3 ratio. Probably has the soil ph out of alignment too. Would be worth looking into as well

Is this more nutrient deficiency?I believe the yellowing and brown spots came from the roots starting to suck up more water than the previous weeks. Do you agree that the Durban Poison had some nutrient deficiencies?

Brown spots and yellowing What do you think this is? Nutrients deficiency or maybe soil ph. Happened overnight and the plants are a little dry but I just gave them water and nutrients. My ph tester has been broken so I’ve sorta been winging it with some ph strips.

Day 14. Since day 12 a brown spot has appeared on one of the leaves of the first node, spreading little by little. Because of the symptoms, I think it's septoria, so I've sprayed neem oil to see how it works for her. Someone knows what can it be?

Yellowing and brown spots on leaves Can anyone identify why this is happening? I am growing 2 other plants (one the same strain) with identical treatment and this started happening with one of my Royal Jacks. Everyday new leafs show the same symptoms.

What nutrient deficiency is this?What nutrient deficiency is this? Or is it nutrient burn? I'm watering with 5.5 PH using half strength Nutes, Root booster & Calmag. I don't think it relates to spiders mites since I can't see any with my 30x magnifier. Thank you so much in advance.

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors? I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐

VPD related leaf issue? Brown spots, don't think its Cal related. Pls, any help would be appreicated.Brown spots on leaves, I thought it was Cal related, and tried different doses, with no success. Could it be VPD related? It can and does get very hot and very humid in the 1.5ftx2.5ft closet. Even when running no humidifier (Live in AZ). I've been struggling with this for months

Leaf discoloration. 5 weeks old I transplanted these girls 2 days ago and have started them on a new nutrition. I’ve noticed some discoloration on one of the leaves today almost sure it’s the nutrients. Can someone help me figure the best thing to feed my plants? Thank you (nutrition diagram on my first diary)

Unknown rust on 7th flowering week This started as what I thought was a cal/mag deficiency, bought some, gave it for a week at a good dose and 6.3ph, and this intensified and switched from just lower leaves to the upper and a few sugar leaves on one plant. Any ideas? May calmag takes awhile? Or wrong diagnosis?
