Looks like phosphorus deficiency. Too much water can cause this or it is just purely lacking it. Good luck 👍

In coco you can not have too much water in one sitting. Is your run off ph 5.8?

I’ve never seen this before?!
Weird spots on leaf’s I’ve never seen before. Growing in coco with dry amendments and worm castings. Ph 6.7/6.5. Just gave some compost tea earlier today. And earlier this week some GH calmag because some of them are showing deficiencies for that. But what are these weird spots?

Bugs/Spiders in Lower Canopy - Black spots on leaves
I found some small bugs that were making Nets in the lower canopy. I removed the net all the leaves that were infected. Does anyone know what kind of bugs they are and how best to fight them?

Brown/Grey spots on the leaves
Hey, I hope this is my last question for this grow :P I've noticed some brown/grey spots on the yellowing leaves, what could they be, deficiencies or sunburn? I'm still feeding the plant with nutes, but the next watering will be a flush, so I didn't expect discoloring before that

I keep loosing leaves to some sort of nasty necrosis. It affects leaves at all levels, small and big randomly. I had to remove a lot of dying foliage
At first it looks like a asymmetrical spot of leaf starting to thin out to lighter color then tissue dries and turn black. I have high runoff EC3.3 and I blame Easy boost pellets because I only add rootjuice 1ml/L and sugar royal 0.5ml/L to my water. What is it and how I fix it?

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light Soil
On my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?

Hallo, werden die Blätter der Pflanzen dunkler wenn man mehr Dünger gibt bevor dass sie überdüngung Erscheinungen haben? Ich nutze Canna aqua. Ich weiß dass wenn ich zu viel Stickstoff gebe dass die Pflanzen dunkler werden. Ist das aber auch so bei zu hohen EC?
