Nature's Living Soil AF Toxicity or Deficiency?
GunnerTheCatstarted grow question 4 years ago
Fastbuds CBD Crack in NLS and FFHF. Mini-flush with half-dose calmag 12 days ago followed with 2tbs molasses feed. Another 1/2 dose of calmag since. Was using hard water (1,200ppm) late veg/early flower but switched to bottled spring water last week. I'm colorblind, please help.

I’m saying calcium or magnesium deficiency - possibly from too much N. Leaves look a bit dark and glossy - that Excess N can lock out Calcium

fyi: Water has always been ph'd to 6.5 and runoff from the mini-flush was 6.7. Thanks to those who are helping out.

Looks like late stage calmag deficiency to me although I am no expert. Just my experience with hard water.
I would recommend using a good organic soil and microbes. I also used Fish Shit Farms soil conditioner every feed and have had far less problems in my current grow. The fish shit breaks down the salts that are not soluble as far as I can tell.
(Note - I am not an expert)
Good luck mate 🍀

Starting too look like some possible PH issues. Water at pH of 6.5 and then test the run off. Should be 6.0 - 7.0. if your out of range water with correct PH and after a few waterings the p h should come back in range. ☺️
Make sure to test pH of water after adding molasses as the molasses will bring the PH down from the natural acids in the sugar.

Look At This Pigmentation!Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding.

One plant (the one on the right) is going yellow, with brown mottling on the leaves. Both plants have been treated exactly the same.
I’m giving the plant some calmag and extra nutrition after flushing it (which had no effect). Any ideas to save this plant? Worried…Leaves. Color - Yellow

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.a year ago

Why do my plants only have that light greenish yellowish look at the top and why is one of my plants also having those sick leaves at the bottom?2 of my 3 plants are a bit yellow-ish at the top since about a week. Plant 1 also had a couple of sick leaves at the bottom that I did remove. Those leaves had brown/dark spots, felt dry like paper, had very purple stems and did smell more like hay. More info in my report.9 months ago

Brown Spots on LeavesI’m noticing some light brown spots on my leaves. After researching it seems that it was either 1) Manganese deficiency 2) calcium deficiency or 3) overwatering. I don’t think I’m overwatering. It could be the nutrients but would like input!Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Is that not enough calcium?How can I recognise that it is only a calcium deficide? The plant is also the largest and the only one with such deficiencies. Could the plant also be lacking manganese or magnesium and what can I use to compensate for this? Are pests or diseases excluded?Week 6

Week 2: One of the plants still doesn't look good + other beginner questions :)Second week and one of the plants has weird spots + leaves curled.
Not sure what to do. Do I overwater? Is it some kind of disease or deficiency? No idea.
Also, when should I start feeding the plants?
