Nute burn or light stress

Happydays58
Happydays58started grow question 3 years ago
Wondering if I’m pushing them too much or if the brown rust spots are from light stress? Seems to only be on the top half of them and showed up right when the stretch slowed/stopped.

Okay so what is really going on is you got 1 of 2 things going on. 1st ph is in a lock out or riding the boarder. 2nd you have a advanced potassium deficiency is the spots. You are in bulking in flowering. The demand for potassium is extremely high at this stage. Regardless it is showing potassium deficiency not calcium or magnesium deficiency. Feel free to look up advanced potassium deficiency in cannabis and you will see very similar signs.

Hey there HappyDays, you got magnesium and calcium deficiency, you can tell from the rust spots affecting the top leafs as well as the discoloration on the serrated edges of the leafs. But you're actually right, this is all due to the "light stress". that's because plants need more Mg and Ca to regulate photosynthesis, more photosynthesis more calmag is needed. The problem is that the plant's absorption efficiency through the roots is something like 20% so the plant simply cant absorb enough calmag through it's roots. To treat this problem, either reduce your light cycle as much as you're comfortable with to treat the root cause. Or make a calmag spray something like 1mL - 1.5mL /L and spray twice a week to treat the symptoms. That's because absorption efficiency through the leafs is 80% so much better than the roots. Hope this helps growmie ! 🚀

Inproper ph leads to plants not being able to absorv the nuts properly and starts to eat itself. And the heatlhier your plant is the more light it can handle.

Did you foliar feed within the last week maybe 2? And possibly not turn the light down enough.... that's what it resembles to me. If not that, I would check my rum off and if the #s are high, adjust my feed accordingly. But it doesn't look to be light burn too me.
