3 girls, same strain, same schedules, same nutes. No Pests. All have different issues. 1 = yellowing/brown spots, low terpene but good bud growth, 2 = Low terpene production, 3 = Skinny buds, normal terps Any ideas what could be causing them?
Solved
Leaves. Tips - Die
Leaves. Dropping off
Leaves. Color - Dark-brown

Oh... Tangerine Dream!! I grew this and it was quite the experience! I think you're getting good terpenes on all of them but I DO worry about the first two - showing definite signs of what I believe is a calcium deficiency.... Now I know you're going to say that all three have received the same nutes but that doesn't really make any difference - each plant responds in their own way to what you give them - right now, for example, I'm growing 4 Blackberry Moonrocks... one of them is going through 1.25 gallons of water every day... the other three only need/take 3/4 of a gallon... that one lady is just doing things differently - and you have to listen to them! Your PH is spot on so I don't think that's the problem... I'm unfamiliar with your nutes but if there's a lot of nitrogen in them, nitrogen can cause a lockout of calcium. I see you've been trying calmag... if that's working (the damaged leaves will NOT get better no matter what you do) and the problem isn't continuing to get worse, then you've solved your own problem.... if it HASN'T solved the problem, I would consider doing a flush (run 3x the water as the pot size - so in your case, you'd run 6-7 gallons of ph'd water through each pot) adding in 1/2 strength nutes to the last gallon. Let them dry out completely before watering again. This will clear out any nute or salts build up in the soil and you can go from there... If any of your nutes have a lot of nitrogen in them, I'd cut them by half permanently... You've got several more weeks to go so this is definitely worth doing IF the calmag is not working for you. Best of luck.... you'll enjoy the smoke!

Thanks so much for the comprehensive response! Now that you've said it things make a bit more sense. I think I need to reduce the Canna A & B and boost the PK to reduce the nitrogen going in during bloom. The first 2 pics are the same plant (Marge) the 3rd is an example of what the other 2 are like so I reckon you're spot on that there's just a bit of variance. I'm seeing one being more thirsty than the other 2 as well (not Marge 😅). I'll dilute the last feed a bit and see how we go but I'm happy with the smoke off the trim so I'm not overly stressed about the last few weeks. I'll be watching much more closely and hopefully being a bit more preventative for the next grow 😁

My ph in soil stays around 6.8 never less than 6.5. Anyhow that plant with the spots on has a nutrients lock out and will soon crisp if not flushed, the other two will catch up to that one too if not monitored

Everything that goes in is strictly pH controlled, never outside 5.8 - 6.3. Potassium would also have shown on the other 2 somewhere which it hasn't and they've been getting PK for the last 4 weeks

I am seeing progressive potassium deficiency. Would likely bet your ph is out of range in soil.
