High Evoluto, This is a calcium deficiency in the early stage. You need to add some cal/mag with your nutrient solution. When your cannabis plant has a calcium deficiency, the main symptom that you'll be able to notice is brown or bronze splotches or spots on your leaves. It is also often associated with yellowing Goodluck bro! 😋

Looks like the nugs have purple in them, so it could just be the leaves fading. It could also be a phosphorus deficiency, though. Give it some rock phosphate and keep an eye on it. If it starts clearing up, it was a phosphorus deficiency. If it sticks around, it's genetics and/or fading. I hope this helps.

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.

Would Epsom salt be helpful for these brown spots? If so, how many ppm? Is it OK to reduce pH with citric acid and distilled water in nute mix?

Orange Spot in first set of leaves If you can see Veg Week 1 Photos, Photo named Day 7 Zoomed, I have been seeing these dots for 2-3 days now. What is it? how can it be solved? FYI - These were the first set of leaves, others look healthy. My guess - nut water got sprinkled or cal/mag deficiency.

Calcium deficiency?Saw this little brown/yellow parts today. She is in BioBizz LightMix Soil and gets 0.3ml/L BioBizz CalMag 3x per week. pH is above 6.5 . Today I gave her 1ml/L CalMag. Was this the right choice? Is this a calcium deficiency?

Discoloration and Spots I'm still not sure if this is a deficiency or some sort of burn. It's definitely spreading a bit more, and I'm unsure if there's time left to address it in the grow. Video of full plant in week.
