Brown/Bronze stripes on leaves

lovely_neighbours
lovely_neighboursstarted grow question 2 years ago
Gelato’s leaves are turning brown/bronze-ish in colour and slightly crispy in touch. This is also slowly spreading on the young leaves. The change in colour happened very quickly in abut 4 days. As you can see the discolouration is happening in a weird pattern. Any ideas? Thanks

Did you increase your light intensity recently? I've had similar looking problems occasionally going from my veg tent with low light to my flower tent. I always attributed it to the light intensity and the increased need for magnesium because of LED, but my issues might not be the same as yours. good luck figuring it out.

It is burning from feeding too much and too often - 3 times in one week is waaaay excessive for soil cultivation! In soil it is....plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed........... so that your plants are only being fed every 12 days or so. Autos can also usually get by just fine on half strength nutrients. At this stage I would recommend that you only give plain water (in normal amounts and at normal intervals) for the next 2 weeks, your plants need to use what is already in the soil before any new nutrients ae added. There is no need to "fush" your soil with gallons of water to remove excess fertilizer salts, flushing can actually release too many/even more fertilizer salts all at once and increase the burning greatly. So, give just plain water for the next 10-14 days (14 best) before resuming feeding with half strength nutrients. The burned leaves will not recover, but hopefully the new leaves should be ok or only slightly burned, - as long as you do not add any new nutrients over the next 2 weeks that is! This condition is in no way a sign of any sort of deficiency or excess iron by the way. Hope this helps, Organoman.

I don't think your PH is way off. Having 6.2 in flowering is oke, 6.3-6.4 would be perfect. I don''t think is boron, in my opinion this is a (CA)Calcium deficiency last stage. Strange because you have been feeding for a long time, you even gave some when you where in growing stage... Maybe you have been overfeeding, therefore your medium(soil) has many nutrients in it and it has been into lockdown, therefore your plant doesn't get the nutrients it needs. Just flush your plant a bit with water ph 6.2, catch up your runoff and if it holds more then 2 EC you have been overfeeding, if it holds less then 1.2 EC, you have been underfeeding. Calculating is knowing :) Goodluck growing :)

Hello lovely_neighbours Looks to me like a Boron Deficiency. Here are some other symptoms to verify. New growth shoots appear burned and may contort. Leaves thicken and become brittle( even green ones ) Rust colored corky stem's develop. Good luck
