WeGrowstarted grow question 4y ago

I discovered some brown spots on leaves....please tell me that this not root rot 😨 Some leaves that looked worse had been removed last week, I thought that this was just a nutrition issue.

I've got the same issue and I think it's damage caused by fungus gnats. They got out of control with my latest grow and my work schedule.. it's left a few brown spots on some of my leaves. I've eliminated so many other possible causes. It's either from the fungus gnats I had or its possibly a calcium deficiency but I don't think it's calcium.

Possible manganese deficiency?I fixed some previous issues and have not been feeding my plants. They are in peat and worm castings and pearlite. About 6.6ph soil, watering with 6.5-6.6 water. I am going to water with nutrients again to see if that helps just want to hear another opinion.

What am I looking at?Redish Brown spots, and slight discoloration. Magnesium deficiency? Calcium? Other? Gave them a splash of Calmag, but was it even necessary? OR, should I have just swapped nutes and wait, then correct if not improved? (It was nute day, that's why I ask!)

Brown Spots on Leaves I've got some brown spots showing up on the Wedding Cake leaves, first thought it may be mold but it doesn't rub off and I sprayed both plants with neem oil about a week ago just in case. Could be CalMag deficient? I use RO water with about 150-200ppms in 3 liters once a day.

Some brown spots showing on the top sugar leaves. I suspect it is due to the cooling fan of the light blowing down hot air? I've adjusted the fans to blow air directly over the top of the main cola's and I increased the light distance.
