Ich kann auf dem Video keinerlei Mangelerscheinungen erkennen. Das was man sieht ist kräftig, gesund und schon sehr schön frostig 🤩👌 Freu dich lieber auf die Ernte, als dir Sorgen über mögliche Mangelerscheinungen zu machen !😁

Straight water is not enough. Plants require several different elements in order to thrive.

calcium and magnesium are two different elements with very different deficiency symptoms and your plant shows neither as far as i can tell from your vids.

Yellow tint on new growth I've spotted some yellowing on new growth. I'm just in the end of Week 3 and am thinking it's caused by nutrient deficiencies? I've been sticking to 0.25ml/L and am planning to go to 1ml/L starting Week 4. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Drainage issue I'm not quite sure why this cup doesn't absorb its waterings when the other two solo cups are getting Watered every day. All 3 cups have no drainage. They are all grown in the same conditions. My first instinct is lack of drainage, do I need to make some holes, bottom or side?

Are those nutrient defficiencies? Which ones?A plant had interveinal chlorosis on new leaves and then proceeded to show brown patches between veins on middle leaves. Another has coppery brown spots on leaf edges on the middle of the plant. Both were rootbound in living soil (peat/perlite/hummus + ammendments).

What nutrient is causing this?I know for a fact that it is some kind of nutrient issue. I’m not sure what but that’s what makes the most sense. Because it ONLY shows on very early growth and then disappears as the new leaves continue to grow. I’ve been through very cold weather and never seen this.

Deficiency Could you spot the deficiency? Calmag? Light burn from droplets of water? 6weeksThis auto Critical FastBuds has been growing slow and now is showing stagnation signs, and her sister is now flowering and looks much better, but lower leaves looks the same on both.

Maintaining the soil pH I give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.

Deficiency or light stress?I start by saying that the light was not close enough to cause stress imo.. was about (30cm) of distance from this plant. it seems that it is more a deficiency in my opinion but I don't know exactly which one.. What do you think about that?

Can anyone help identify this tox/deficiency?Week 6 I noticed that all the new growth has burnt tips I assumed this was a bit of a nitrogen toxicity problem since the leaves were all a nice dark green, no pale leaves were popping up. Also held back on feeds for a few weeks. Other forums said it’s normal but want to be sure.

K deficiency almost wiped out this plant. What do I do now?I’m somewhere between 2-3 weeks until harvest time should be. It’s day 80 from seed on this autoflower. Had a bad potassium deficiency that I didn’t figure out quite in time and I’m not sure if too much damage has been done. What should I do?

Calcium Deficiency from P Tox?Does this look like Calcium deficiency? This is from the mother actually, she is flowering for seeds. I’m pretty sure last feed was too heavy on the phosphate and not enough calcium. I just want y’all’s opinion in case I am missing something. It’s the brown spots I’m referring to

Hey, anyone got any idea or clue what's going on?I thought it was a manganese or iron deficiency from an early watering with high pH. Though I've fed/watered my other 2 plants pretty much the same stuff but she seems to be reacting really poorly. She seems to be getting better slowly.. I think. Thanks for taking the time. :)

What affect does a higher PH level have?Somehow I have been reading my ph meter backwards and have ran 2 Blue Dream Fem at a 7.5 ph level the entire grow cycle. The plants are doing well and look great in week 11. How will this higher ph level affect the end product? Will it affect the taste, smell, or potency? Thanks
